G'day Rob.
It may seem like a challenging piece, but don't over complicate it.
What you have done is pretty good, the easier way is this.....

Mark your piece out, paying more attention to the rolled area.
Shrink in the yellow zone, (just use a Stump) making sure you don't completely flatten the tucks out to the edge of the flange zone. Marked in orange (as you will need this extra for the stretch later on the flange.)
Roll the Red lines, using pipe or similar, finish dressing out you yellow area, to the shape you need going by your profile, once your happy with that. Place your piece down on edge to scribe the line for the flange height and measure your flange width. Then final trim your flange after you fold it over, you will need to stretch the radius of the flange.
It will be more accurate if you scribed it flat then trim it to size and then mark your fold flange lines.

Your doing well, and credit to you for keep having a go, learning all the way.
