A question for anybody?

I'd glue up an air mattress ~23' long and 2' wide, bend it into a U-shape and sandwich it between flanges on the bedrail and cap. Then you could use compressed air to raise the top.

NeilBlanchard -- I'm glad you saw that. It was your CarBEN build thread that got me to sit through it, since I'm not planning on using fiberglass myself. I might not have remembered to post there.

That video had me spitting and hollering at my screen. (First of all was his haircut) He shows as an example a '32 Ford and then builds a '27 style body.

And when he needed a curve for the rear deck, he grabbed a wheel instead of a tire; and only then he starts going on about being careful with your layout.

But he built it and shared, so you have to give him that. (I know it's just an infomercial)
