The lower body is held to the original overall length; the wheels are covered and the 'shoulder' is moved forward for aero reasons. The upper body is sized to the length of the rear hatch and could be extended.

Freebeard, this image represents the initial profile of my trailer as I see it, thank you.
I hope to get the air stuck back onto it behind the beetle as soon as I can. The big challenge is how I can taper/transition the three curves into one that gets as template C-like as I can by the ending out of the trailer.
Washing out those sharp inside corners will be fun.
