Floor Replacement Pattern

Hello, I recently bought a 1962 Safari and have removed the shell for a frame replacement. It did not come with any subfloor that I can use as a pattern. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the curve end plywood pieces. Is there a pattern available?

I took heavy duty paper floor covering, traced the corners, then taped the pieces together. Then I rolled it up and used it for patterns for the subfloor and the Marmoleum. Finally I put it back down for floor protection after the Marmoleum was installed. It was useful to pop lines for the cabinet locations. Good luck

i used 6 inch stops of Luan screwed & glued together.
i used the story stick method to replicate the curves. No 2 are alike.
good luck!
