The steering is center point --so--the kingpins will be angled in at the top and also have 12 deg of caster. You can see this to some degree in earlier videos of the velomobile project.
Keep an eye on the slide lock, mine likes to pop up and the holesaw gets really tight. I am mostly using mine with a hand drill, that might be part of the problem.
That is what I did last time but I did not have a world class fly cutter and it was a lot of work getting it just so.---this was much easier---easy is good---LOL
It pays to have good equipment. My drill press is an entry level Sears model and isn't up to the job for cutting a hole through steel-tried many times, and it stalls when any reasonable downward force is applied. Fortunately I have a fiend with much better tools.

The canopy is not air tight and lets in a pleasant amount of fresh air but not enough to cool a hard working velonaut---LOL
cut the piece in half and use a fly cutter
I luv your vids Tinny.

Installed one in an earlier video.

Don't forget a rear view mirror or two for your velomachine you have limited views to the back
Aren't you afraid of carbondioxide levels if you seal up the velomobile to much?
Are you doing the steering without any kingpin inclination?
