im currently trying to make a template but im having such a hard time making it fit on the hump. you made it look so easy. any suggestions?

I don't know how bzblaine did it, but I was thinking of a flexible curve ruler. It is something artists use. Press it against the hump to shape it, then move it to cardboard and trace the line, cut the cardboard and see if it fits. You may be able to use a piece of Romex electric cable if you have some of that laying around.

Thats a great idea! I always just get in there with cardboard and add or remove from the template as needed, but this seems way more efficient. Thanks!
