I started drum sanding the second piece that I didn't get to last night.
I sanded to the point that most of the material inside the shallowest arc had been removed.
At that point, I angled the table on the drill press to about 10 degrees, and started widening the curve as I worked my way to the front part of the piece.
Of course, this was an iterative processes, where I constantly checked my progress to ensure that I was removing the proper amount of material from the piece as I went along.
Once I got pretty close to the lines I had scribed, I used sand paper wrapped around a pipe to mostly finish it off. I may return to light sanding the piece if I find any minor discontinuities. One of the corners looks a little rough, but not to worry, it gets completely chopped off later.
Hopefully I can continue work on the other booster cover top soon.
