Thanks ChazInMT.
If the red outline is based on the height of the car,then this is the outline to use.
What I see,is that the 'max camber' for the side of the car lies about midway on the rear wheels.I would slide the 'Template' zero-point back to that position and look for a 'fit' in that area.
The roof begins its descent ahead of the sides of the car and it can be steeper than the sides.
The body side curvature will necessarily be 'retarded' with respect to the roof due to its 'late' start.
If you push the curve steeper,the shear will probably set up vorticity.
PS The body curvature ( camber ) will be different low on the car compared to midway up,and further up on the greenhouse.Technically,you'd be required to find the 'max camber' point for all locations on the body sides and adjust your curvature from each point.Is that hard enough?
