Nice execution. Have you done any tuft testing along the top?

Thanks. I'm much happier with how it looks now with the angled end bits.
First I tested just the top piece to get the main angle, but once I built the sides, I tuft tested the top
and sides on the highway with a friend watching. No videos though. Tufts were stable and smooth with no vortex generation on the top corners but there was a but of fluttering on the bottom end of the sides so when I rebuilt it, I reduced the side angles a bit.
I'm probably getting some wicked vortex action at the bottom edge which will be dealt with when I make the bottom part.
The top is now around 11˚ and the sides are more like 15˚
