I did some initial searching via Google for a flush hinge with a long enough leaf to pivot the main hatch door about 4" forward of the front of the opening - so that the door will "lift" straight up out of the opening to clear the slightly arched roof edge.

I also would be using a piano hinge on both the front wheel skirts; and I'm hoping to find small round individual LED's to make up the turn signals and the tail and brake lights in the back.

If anybody knows where to get any of these things, I'd appreciate it very much.

I've rolled the chassis over on it's right side today to do some more work on the underside, and to give me another view of the left rocker panel and wheel strakes, etc.
