bugeye quarter panel question

Hello all
I need help from a Bugeye sprite owner. I'm working on a restoration and the body is just about all together. My question is this: What is the correct shape for the top, rear, side of the quarter panel, near where the tail light attaches? It seems to me that the out side should be straight, clean and rounded. Mine is not. I hope I can discribe the situation. Mine has this slight curving; almost like an edge. If you looked at it from the rear, you don't see a nice rounded side. There is a little kotch. Could someone check theirs and let me know? I appreciate your help because I'm hoping to have the car painted next week.
Regards
