It'll be interesting to see how the wood holds up. I would have sealed it first, but I am not familiar with your weather down in MO.
Wood is easy and cheap to replace, and if anything wont cause anymore damage if something happens...
On a side note I believe i am at or past the 7* mark... maybe 8-10* though it isn a straight angle. The panel rolls/curls upward from the Torsion beam toward the bumper. which is right at or near 0* from the start. (Not exact) but here's a pic...
