Yeah, I can't do that. I am only 6'2" but my legs are short and my torso is LOOOOOONG. Chopped top = reclining seating = discomfort on the long haul.
I did look at cowl induction hoods to help with the windshield issue, at least for 1/3rd of the width.
I can manage the hatch work, it is not too involved. Not really a body man here. I can also blend in an extension in length and relocate the tail lights. The biggest trick will be the metal edge of the hatch lid, getting that cut off and moved neatly.
I'd use the extra length to do what I do with a car, work the heck out of it. My poor camry seats are never up, almost always one or the other is folded for hauling lumber, etc.
