Vajra,

Past and angled back would be fine, a lot of my original concept drawings were like that for looks. I went through dozens (literally) of ideas on how to hinge, pivot, slide, or otherwise open my aeroshell, and I don’t really think there is a best method as they all have different complexities when you get into the details, especially if you are trying to keep it weather resistant.

I would like to add a camera to mine as well, so be sure and report any good models you find or anything you learn about them. Man, 14” drop hitch? Are you sure your truck isn’t lifted or on oversize tires?

Oh, and I took some new progress pictures of my V 2.0 aeroshell and bumped my thread with them, look for the Amocat-2005 Tacoma in the Aerodynamics sub forum and skip to the end to see where I ended up.
