Thanks JSH!
I do plan on keeping the boundary flow smooth. The width at the hinges is ~72"W. The hinges are 8 " behind the cuff which is 78"W. I will tape coroplast to the van's body to maintain this edge across the gap.
The hinges need to be 8" further aft to allow sight line to the tail lights.
The van's black plastic cuff has a 3" "rise" over 10" "run" for a slope of 16.7 degrees.
The red line in the photo is an even steeper angle to meet the orange line. The orange line is 3" below the cuff but ideal because it is in plane with the vans back up camera.
Photo in my previous post shows a lot more wood in the field of vision than is necessary.
