If you have defined your 'end' point you can use a flexible 'french curve' device to create a nice curve.
I've been using a 20-ft length of schedule-40,1-inch PVC pipe.I tape it to the vehicle roof and pull the trailing portion down to my 'point' and then clamp it.If it's done alongside something to scribe on,you can capture the curve for creating a pattern from which to fabricate from.It's dirt simple low tech,cheap,and renders an organic curve within an acceptable limit of perfection.
