Playing with roadster fibreglass rear quarters...28 - 29.

I would like to know how straight (or if it is reasonably straight ) from door B pillar ( A in pic) to the outside at the rear side C.

Bit ambiguous I know, but as glass could be any shape and it is a floppy body , I want to know if the subframe (also fabricated , not original to go by ) needs a kink in it or not.

A brookville or an original quarter off the car would give me a good idea.

Line I would like to know more about is in this pic.

Say, with a string line from ends of blue line A to C , how far in or out is a point at wheel arch front B ?

Or a pic would be good from rear along this lower edge ..

Also, is there a curve outwards or is it reasonably straight at the lower swage line where purple arrow is ?
