That is one good looking unit.

Looks like you have a good circulation pattern on the end and small vortices coming off c-pillar transition, which, according to "the Hucho", induce a downwash which keeps the external flow downward in the area of the rear end and keeps it attached. All good.

I'm going to scan those pages and post them because that slope is the one that we are always talking about.

What is your slope angle?

I have one word of advice for you... Tripod. (As if you didn't know already.)
