Wow. That is pretty radical! This is the ultimate in metal and plastics recycling. And you have the perfect opportunity to rebuild the whole back according to the "Kamm" template shape, which is what the template above depicts. The sloping line extending from your roof line backward is the line you would build to. Here are two Kamm designs in the attached photos (one posted already on this site by aeromodder I think).

PS: love the tail lights too.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
