Blue Bomber Man,start thinking about your body cut lines,how the canopy will open and hinge placement,potential interference,binding.It will affect your ingress/egress,where things pivot,hardpoints for support structure,collision protection,energy absorption, and all your human factors kinda stuff.Also,when you lay windscreen glass down at really radical angles you can end up with internal cabin reflections which inhibit your ability to see out.If the software will allow overlays 'n such,begin with yourself inside the car,and engineer from that point outward.And bear in mind any and every conceivable function you'll do in there,including the event of emergencies.It's quite the puzzle!
