Yep, that looks like a good line as it sits. I forgot you were installing a Corvair until I saw the mount.

Be sure to mark center front and rear of the canopy in relation to the windshield and aft fuse. Make certain the canopy is
lined up with the center marks when you are test fitting the canopy. Put new tape on your canopy and slowly creep up to
the tape when you are cutting/sanding the edges. Be ready for multiple on/off test fits before you are done.
I doubt you will have any problems anyway, just sayin.

Lexan out. I seem to remember the most forward hole difficult to dimple after bending. Might want to handle those before bending.

In the your mileage may vary, I have the angles written down at each hole, if you need a reference.

And by all means, dimple at least the forward 2 holes before bending.
