Spring is here, for now, and drmiller100 has started http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...nge-20849.html . As my self appointed challenge is to finish the tail, I'll be posting here a bit more often for a while.

Progress- I measured out the elevation drops on the template, and for my height vehicle, 54.5" with the 10% segments equaling 19.4", the drops are as follows;

10%= .76"
20%= 2.3"
30%= 5.37"
40%= 9.98"
50%= 16.12"
60%= 23.8"
70%= 31.48"
80%= 39.15"
90%= 46.82"
100%=54.5"

Next step is to make a cardboard template to use as a guide for the top of the tail, get some measurements and pics from above the Jetta to make the side template, and hopefully I'll be forming by the weekend.

P.S. I updated the first post to include the drop values.
