Sorry; I got here late.
mkejim has a sliding canopy on his Lalo-bodied Locost (and I'm considering one for mine) but it'll be interesting/challenging/tough on a standard Locost body because the doors, if they travel with the top, will hit the fenders. A tilt-back top might be better. Then again, if you already have a concept for the doors, please share it--I've thought long and hard about how to do a sliding canopy for a Locost and haven't had much luck with the concept (not to mention the execution), though if it can be done it'll solve a lot of problems.
Jack I will build the car to meet the canopy, not the other way around.
If you remember (or look) at my first Seven you will notice that the door curve place(Uncle Chapmann, Champion, Catheram) part of the body has been eliminated altogether. I and my passengers hop in over what I have. If I take things from this I believe that some kind of sliding canopy (like what you have done) will be my choice...no doors, why do you want doors
