Re: 1940-120, engine compartment side panels

I have a '38 Eight and just recently fixed or should say rebent those same side panels on my car. Those rolled bends were on my panels too. Pretty obvious on my car that a previous mechanic did not like to remove those panels when they were taking out the radiator. They were bent back to gain access to the radiator mounting bolts and brackets. Would like to know what the specific shape should be so let us know what you find out.

Regarding the fabric skirts, where do I get more details on the fabrication of those parts. Will surf this site but anxious to learn more about what I can use to replace that dried up leather like material...

Thanks.
