I like this, nice work.

Have you considered chopping the top and making a heavy tear drop shape in the back? maybe extending the front about 3-5 ft and giving it an elipse shape like the dolphin?

:

chop the top: Im a tall guy (6'-1")and want to be comfortable, also the windows and doorframe mods are a big deal I dont want to deal with, I went with the 4 door so I could eventually highly mod the rear, plans are to remove the sheetmetal just after the front door , ditch the rear doors, rear windows and hatch, extend the rear a few feet and make a boat tail in the rear, Ive been eyeballin a fiberglass canoe to maybe use in the rear for the shape, Ive been experimenting with different materials for quick easy mold building, like I said I am limited on the time I can devote so Im looking for quick results for my efforts, end result should be 1 piece front section this will inslude grill,bumper,fenders with skirts,and hood , stock front doors and frames, custom I peice rear tail with small hatch for when you need to carrey a 10" 2x4 or PVC pipe home, all in fiberglass, underbelly and all 4 wheels skirted Scott
