I had actually thought about building the skeleton of the boattail from PVC piping due to its high value, practically indestructable, light, and strong (and impervious to rot.)
I've been having a rethink, and realized if I built the boattail on a trailer, and had attachments to link it to the van, I could go full blown with the thing quite easily. I doubt i would go the full 6.34 meters, but going with a 8 foot trailer with a 3 foot tongue would give me half of that quite easily, besides keeping the police happier (it's just a trailer, officer, not a part of the car.) It would still fulfill my goals and i would be able to have a flat bottom all the way from front to back as the aero template calls for.
Aerohead, I heard through the grapevine that you had built just such a trailer, and would treasure any thoughts you have on the subject.
