Well after doing some inspection on the damage for now I'm just going to rebuild the stock roof. I can do it for less then $100. Rebuilding it with a different design I think I would be $1000 into it. So say I get 15mpg with it the way hi-lo built it, best case I get 17-18 all tricked out. Pulling it only 500-1000 miles a year would take forever to recover the money.
I may try a few smaller ideas like a front nosecone that fill the gap better or skinning the belly.
