I don't know of any videos like that. There are a number ways to do it.

If you have the Chris Gibbs book on the Gen 2 version of the Haynes Roadster, you'll find some instruction on pages 92-93, but it's not extensive. You'll at least see the tools.

No video, but I did shoot a series of pics and post to Locost 7 Builders page on fb. Now you'll have to look a ways back 7/13/2020 to be precise I did a multi pic segment on forming around the cockpit arches.
6/29/2020 I did the same for the rear panel.

Too much week, not enough weekend.
OOPS I did it again

Do you have time to repost here? There are probably a lot of us who don't use Facebook.
