I would calculate if that much front end width is needed for stability and would narrow it up if at all possible.

I'd also think about how much room I want to have a reasonable degree of comfort inside, and widen the cockpit if need be. I suppose a person could figure it out in real life, in real time, either statically with cardboard sheets while sitting in a car, or dynamically with plexi and go for a drive.

I also think generous fillets tween body and greenhouse would do nothing but good.
