Tail's off the car. Car is shivering, parked outside again.

FYI, the tail actually weighed 18 lbs / 8.2 kg. I had estimated 12 lbs / 5.4 kg before (that's the weight I listed in the video).

John: I'll post basic measurements in a few minutes. You should be able to reproduce this without knowing the sizes of each of the intermediate bulkheads because it's a simple shape with straight top & sides. You really only need to know the beginning and end dimensions / angles to duplicate it. (Using string to measure/fill in as many or few additional bulkheads as you want.)
