Mike I would try to add the missing inch. I'm no carpenter, but I'd draw round the end of your board on another piece of 3/8 ply and cut out that shape with a jig saw to include the curved ends. Cut it off at 1 inch, glue it and screw it with sunken head screws through the top. Final shaping and filling with body filler before painting. It would probably be advantageous to chamfer the mating edges before joining them. Ron
