Fabricating the 'curved' panels would magnify the man-hours by 1000%.
I do not think that percentage means what you think it does (that's three orders of magnitude). Or maybe it's the conjunction [by] vs [to].

I'd say to 125%. The case of a Porsche ducktail is different to a box van.

Remember your Morelli's 'Fluid Tail' thread?
