I think the information has been 'out there for years,' but hard to find, because it was so specialized and we were not able to share techniques and ideas so easily as we can now. There are students and people who are using my machines making armor in several different countries.
You could use triangulation to develop the hood scoop, especially if you do NOT have a pattern to trace like you do right now, a fully made hood scoop. Instead draw and elevation view and a plan view of what you want to make (would be in 2 halves), than triangulate finding the untrue lengths of lines to determine the pattern needed to be cut to form the part. Which metal stretching thou, you can always stretch a bit more or less to make the part. Weld the 2 together, done.
Thanks Lazze, you are a great teacher.
I wish I had had tools like this, and this kind of information when I was restoring armor for a private collector!

Thank you for your reply. Makes me want to get back in the game, but, alas, I'm too busy with other things.
thanks for taking the time to make this. Gotta get some fiberglass magnets now! hahaha
Can't wait to see the next step.
I have found that paper file folders make good template material

Thanx for all the videos
Great option for smaller pieces. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm sure other watchers will use it too.
Amazing lesson. .thanks

Nice as always!! Thanks
Very informative video..Cheers!
***** Yes I love watching people shape metal..
there is a design program called Corel draw it will be useful for you then print using a cutter blotter
