Not exactly sure yet what I will use for the sheeting, but It will be fully functional with lift dampers and locks. This is just the rough draft so any and all honest criticism is appreciated.
For a shortbed,the angle looks too fast and I'm afraid you'd have separation with no chance of re-attachment.
It's better to have less slope but good flow,then you can doo even more mods later with success.
