    well i redid the back bow today before it was about 4 inches too short and it cut in way to quick from the leading edge of the body to the first bow. i rebend up new one and did a lil mock up.

    my only concern is maybe the body line of the lower bow is pulled in too much

    what do you guys think?

    Bows look OK to me; The middle bow is always the tallest, then the front bow at the windshield is medium height, then the rear bow is the lowest of all 3.

    Do you mean you think the back bow needs to be wider? If so, then I'd say it is fine for width. Most likely the square corners on the RPU back wall is throwing off your eye, when comparing it to a roadster.

    Your tape top; I'd change the angle right above the doors. Right now the bottom edge of the cloth skin is running uphill to the windshield. But some like their A's like that because I see it a lot.
