Looking at aerohead's drawing, it would obtain only if the body width is twice the height because you get a similar taper on both sides as well. With a square body the side tapers will meet in half the distance. Generally, for your purposes a Trailer-Tail™ type folding box cavity would serve well.

I think they should probably pitch inboard from the rear inner finderwell toward the body's centerline but I'm not sure.

I'm not seeing this. For the wheelwells on both ends, I think this makes sense:
In case it doesn't show, those deflectors are splayed out the width of the tire. In front the inner, the forward ends would need to be trimmed to allow the wheels to turn, then transition into a side skirt. aerocivic uses two side skirts making a tunnel between the front and rear tire. Here's the theoretical ideal:
This allows for front and rear departure angles. Notice the center angles to allow for high-centering.
I believe you don't want to increase the front overhang, but something like this would soften the front edge:
A good opportunity would be to ad a fillet from the top of the windshield to the front edge of the pop-top.
