Why not start the top at the rear parcel shelf and bring it down to the floor behind the front seats. It makes the trunk one big ass lockable storage container.

I had contemplated keep the rear parcel shelf and brackets....
but they are a bit tattered, and I'm beginning to like the idea of 2 seater with a 5 foot enclosed bed...
Again... with Jesse's help we got the board mounted just as I had planned. The old seat belt mounting points have been filled with RTV, along with RTV sealing the stainless lag bolts. The top needs a bit more "adjustment" in a few areas, but It should be completely built and installed by Monday.
As for reinforcement, I've decided on using 3/4" wide strips of the same plywood glued, and screwed to the underside of the top sheet. This will provide a 1 1/4" thick sheet of plywood 10 plys thick.... I'm pretty sure the strength of the hatch and top should not be of a concern....
Not lets see how well it turns out..... 
Neat... I like it!
Couldn't make out the car though... details?
