I cut off the back of the ashtray, and experimented with card stock to find the shape and position I wanted using a CNC-Plasma-cut gauges plate I made at work:

Then I had to figure out how to make the ashtray open again:
Which I did by making my own hinge and door:
Which reveals like this (roughly driver's seat - cab is on its back right now):
