Thanks! The rough curves in the center section were made with a piece of 3" exhaust tubing. The rear section was shaped with a round plastic hammer and sand bag and then run thru an english wheel to make the compound curve. Once the rear section is completely welded in I will use the english wheel on the center section to smooth the rough bends and tighten up the large expanse by giving it the same slight egg shape that the roof has for strength.

Welded up most of the rear section but still need to fill the corners, weld the underside and smooth
