The more I consider what has been said The more I believe that a full width hood bulge is not what is needed. Looking from above most automotive windshields are relatively flat with very little 3D curve. Looking at a 2D template can lead one astray on to what may be really needed.
Consider what the windshield of almost any streamliner looks like.
Obviously my Varna has excellent aerodynamics runs 50 mph on 300 watts ... my diesel does not.
What I think might be needed to simulate a swept shape is to make some sort of shape similar to what I have but maybe 6" wider and should start further foward on the hood.
