With the bow, it kinda just looks like you extended the rear straight out. You can really see it in pic 3.

I'm not sure what effect the bowing will have on the top panel, but if
you look at the last pic, you can see there is already a bit of a bow in the roof of the car.
The top panel is following the contour of the roof.
The main reason I cut the top of the side panels at angle to pull down the ends of the top panel, is to conform with the shape of the car a bit and try to get a little boat-tail effect in the top. The pulling stress also stiffens the coroplas to help keep it from flapping in the wind.
