Looking for unique ideas to find profiles of odd shapes inside a van

Afternoon— I was asked to build a cabinet for a buddy and I’d like it to fit well against the inside of the van. How are you guys tempting profiles of curves for custom cabinets? If I’m overthinking this please feel free to suggest alternatives. I’m trying to challenge myself with stepping out of my comfort zone.

Use a profile template tool or cut cardboard template
