Hi Guys,

A radius means less chance of flow tripping into fuel-sucking vortices at the transition.

Thanks for the tip, i realized radius's are better but they increase the difficulty of the build by a lot also, especially with the materials im using, i will however round over the corners as much as i can before paint, (1/2" radius or so?) i will also tape the gap up between the cab and the bed when i do my road trip next month.
Today i cut the top panel and installed hinges to open the back up:
i then bogged up the screw holes and some small gaps on the edges:
i also ran a bead of silicone around all of the inside edges to make sure it is completely sealed, then i used silicone and staples to stick a piece of bicycle inner tube rubber over the hinges to seal up the gap between the 2 panels:
i will be adding some latches inside the rear corners to pull the top closed, if i need to get to them from the outside i can fold down the tailgate and undo them, or I can have the tailgate folded up and just open the top to get out, this prevents me from being locked in when i use it for camping.
Thanks for looking
