Trouble Creating an Angled Face

Howdy All,
I am having difficulty creating an angled face along a curved body. The part is a license plate mount. I have the horizontal curvature pretty well set, but I need to have the mounting face taper down from about 3mm out at the top to the existing edge at the bottom, along the curve. Its following the curve that is giving me trouble (I think). Marked-up photo below should provide a crude visual of what I talking about. I am a total novice at this and have only made very simple parts so far and so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey @pho_sho,
Create a sketch of the tapered profile on the "Right" plane and the use the sweep feature or even revolve (seems like your curve is circular).
Let me know if it works for you. Cheers
