Is the plan to keep this a 4-door, or to convert it to a 2-door?

The reason I ask is that it seems like you can get more body taper if you start more forward, but you lose much utility.

I view this project as much in the spirit as the SUV to Pickup truck conversions links above.

And in that sense, making this a pickup truck with an removable or hinged aero-cap may allow better access to the aft spaces.

Just food for thought, I still think this is a solution to the question never asked but cheer you on in your resourcefulness.
