At trunk lid level, the transitions are very gradual. Down at the bottom the car is a little wider, plus the tail does not go back as far at the bottom. So the angle of the boards does make for a more abrupt transition than I would like at the bottom. That was what I was saying about widening the tail at the bottom where the boards are. It's not nearly as bad as it looks in the pics, the bottom looks very abrupt in some pics because the boards go up as well as inward. But the bottom is still more abrupt than I would like at the moment.

Also once I can weld again, it will have more triangular side bracing that comes close to the taillights and the bracing will be a bit convex to better match the car profile. Same with the short bars that go from the trunk lid to the back bar, they are currently straight but will be convex a bit when done. They are actually not attached at the trunk lid end, that is where my welder quit. Gotta have lots of triangular bracing to keep it light and rigid.

Hopefully this is what you are referring to. With a smoother transition, does it look like it should be beneficial so far?
