A picture is worth a thousand words?

I included Frank's in-fill comment for the front wheel, that of course would be a rounded edge, just showing the concept here.

As originally presented, looks like one of those designs which would perform better backwards - sorry.
George, I think you nailed it.

Mike, question about the "shoulder" at the back of the sides - the area where George's sketched fill meets the suggested taper: is there something under there?

If the fill could continue down and in (rather than the "shoulder"), then it would be even better.
