When you move on, consider getting a 2+ foot strip of heavy-gauge sheet aluminum and find someone to Engish wheel it into a contour that you can hold up to the car and crimp edges to finalize the fit. Then hammer and dolly the crimps flat again and trim it all down.

Else get a 1948 Buick hood and cut the contour you're looking for out of it. Remember Jimmy Jones?

edit:

I’ll probably use dibond again and luckily with heavy strength and pressure you can bend and shape it. I’ll have it attached to a harbor freight trailer that’s like 60 dollars that I can take on and off

To help with the boat tail I still need to smooth my underbody and get that rear diffuser too
