Am I understanding this right?

I have some scrap aluminum, a shear, a bending brake, and very few morals...
I wouldn't go over 7-degrees on the side.The air there is moving slower than that air over the roof due to the windshield dividing the airstream.
All curvature must begin almost unnoticeably at first,growing steeper as the flow slows and regains pressure.
This is the reason for the templates.They can be used for top and sides.
