Default Tips required to make a double din face plate

The title says it all, I think that by taking two face plates for the radio and AC, one double DIN face plate could be made. What are the best methods to fabricate the new areas of the fascia and refinish the cut ends? Also the frame behind the face plate requires modification as well.

Double DIN by Rodrofilo
Double DIN by ascuiles
Double DIN by Dogdave4130
Double DIN by mtbikersd
Double DIN by UrbanE
Double DIN by ardenian

The parts I have obtained to make my double din face plate and button relocation modifications with.
No original parts to my car will be harmed in this exercise.
All the switches on the existing radio bezel will be relocated to the cup holder bezel. The ash tray/ coin holder, passenger air bag light and the power outlet/cigarette lighter will stay where they are. The existing single din radio pocket will be enlarged to accept a double din radio.
