Perhaps, although I haven't figured out how I would engineer that. This is going to double as a cargo box, since the construction will be a foam/fiberglass sandwich, so the inside will be as rigid as the outside. I think I'm going to include a cutout at the front for the lower window, since that will be even more useful for parking with the extra length. Then, I'll tuft test it to see what the airflow is like and think about gap fillers if necessary.
