Default 35-36 convertible front bow metal

I have a 1936 convertible sedan and the tin under the front bow wood was rusted out, and it has been hard finding one that wasn't so I decided to make my own, I have some more and will have one at the booth (GCF44)--- looking for comments on how close I am to a good reproduction, I had to buy a whole sheet of metal,it's the first time I made something this complex, I was going to keep trying till I got one I was happy with (so far I like#10)-

I have a 1936 Cabriolet and I don't have the tin for under the front top bow. Do you have a tin strip that is good enough to sell?
