I added a few of your pics to the first post.

How did you choose the aerocap angle? I'd be a bit concerned about the transition from the cab to that angle, considering the cap sits a couple of inches below the roof height.

It might not be the most optimal aero design... but ease of construction is an obvious benefit. The "hatchback" is nice.

Looking forward to seeing your trip MPG numbers.
