Update: I e-mailed Todd's Canopies for a quote, and I'm happy with his response: $ 425. He asked if I really want it that narrow, but I'm not sure if it is 15" or 20" as the width. Anyway, here's the reply I sent:
"Hello, Mr. Silver,
I was hoping the cost to be closer to the $500 price range than $5000, so I am now including your canopy in my plans. I really wondered if 20" was the width and 15" the height, or vice versa.
I'm thinking I'll need to get a canopy before finalizing the frame / chassis design, let alone any bodywork.
The single-seater idea is the minimum possible drag on the minimum possible frontal area, with a very reclined driving posture. No worries about claustrophobia, only clearing a safety helmet for an autocross. If I do inline 2-seater, then I may go for an untrimmed 76" with seating slightly more upright."
