Top Curve

The Top Curve is a line Parallel to the Frame except behind the Seat 

The alternatives are slope the top like the yellow car or keep the top flat like the Wood car above. 

I think the strips dictate a Top Curve parallel to the Frame.

This means the two Mid-Car Curves start at the elevation of the Radiator Top at the Center line.

The shape of the Top Curve aft of the Seat is controlled by the Rear Curve. 

Proceed to the Mid Car Curve
