I'm thinking the way I'd like to do it is have the floor of the boat tail built out of fairly sturdy stuff, such as steel or aluminum framing and expanded metal floor, with some sheet metal underneath for aerodynamics. For the bit around the edges and top I'm thinking Plexiglass, so i wouldn't have to worry about rewiring lights and such. I may have a light frame going up from the floor to help immobilize the plexi.
I'm thinking about convincing the wife that a closed in setup would be better anyway, since she would have much more room for luggage and groceries and what not, and we can just work around losing easy access to the 28" of luggage space we currently have behind the back seat.
