Handsome work. I really like the way you were able to close up the gap from cab to cap; that's a chafing point with me. I have a smoothie cap on my Toyota, that matches the height of my roofline but continues level back to the end of the bed.

I intend to replace it with a handmade jobbie that will slope as yours does, but also taper in from the sides more, to ease in the airflow from the sides as well.

It may look like hell, because it will be my first fiberglass project, but none of the contours are especially complex, so I think it ought to come out looking pretty good.

Hey - it's obvious you're pretty good at this fiberglass stuff...I bet you could whistle up some factory-quality fender skirts for the rear wheels.
