I have a sketch of what I'm wanting (using the template, once again), but it'll be a bit before I'm ready to build those. I also did check the wheels, they spin easily and freely!

I have that planned out, too. I will make a frame and force cover with coroplast or similar material. Ultimately, I'd like to make a door to it and keep a spare tire and maybe some bungee cords and such in there.

Yeah, just like in my diagram in the OP, as well as doing a top-down view taper as well. I've got it planned out, just gotta find the time/motivation to get it done. Hoping to route out from my template today on some ply, but again, time... motivation... blah.
Thanks everybody for the kind comments. Hoping to have this thing at least street usable by this weekend. Tail lights are preventing me at this point, which means I need to get that tail section done!
