Later today, I am starting a testing aeroshell with integrated boat tail for my truck. No scangauge, I drive it few miles a year, so i am cutting right to the chase. I call it A-M-A testing
I am picking up the template at station 10, a point with 3.5° slope. I figure that will get me down faster, and is not a huge departure from <Shatner voice> the ...beauty , that is....the, template </Shatner voice>.
Length is still not a concrete number. It is somewhere around a total length of 12'.
I welded up my headache rack yesterday, and I will hinge this whole thing off it IF/when I build the permanent one. this one will probably be fixed for testing.
I have some nice big sheets of virgin cardboard to skin it with. A ton of scrap lumber, fasteners, some old gate hinges, etc.
I can borrow the tail lights and a pigtail for the lights.
Why now? I have a 320 mile 55~60 MPH round trip across the mountains to do Monday/Tuesday, and maybe a 450 mile 70 MPH freeway run in the middle of that, fuel paid. These opportunities just do not fall off the trees.
