Put your frame over the bezel and box.
Turn on your shop-vac and suck the plastic down over your mould.
Thats the simple explanation. Here is a YouTube video as reference.
(In my thread, I heavily modified what I thought was a bezel for my '74 project. Turns out, it was a few years newer and the light and wiper switch areas were wrong. I wasted a lot of time and money missing that, so I will be selling it on this forum at some point in the future. You can read about it and get some ideas if you want.)

That's actually not too bad of an idea!
The only problem I would see, is that when I did my metal gauge plate, all I did was use a dremel and remove part of the factor panel face and gauge holes
I don't know if it would sink down into the bezel
