Nice job though.

The half radius at the bottom is about 150 mm, the very top is only 3 mm wide or under, they are 600 mm long. the trick was the overall shape not been a straight triangle also the overall shape is straight from the tail light and then curved at the end to meet the shape of the wing. If you google 1959 Cadillac you will be able to see how they fit on the Quarter ....Very tricky
