In attaching to the door hinges are you making it possible for the tail to swing aside on demand for rear door access to the van?

The angles look good to me, but there are more expert eyes on this site. I will say, though, that the interaction between air coming up from under the van will be tricky and important. And the trnasitions from the sides and top should, I think, be closer to flush than you might have planned at the moment.

Also, side skirts on each side between the wheels, at the base of the van body... and rear wheel shirts.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
