I can guarantee how to git people to shoot photos of the truck and trailer if I put a sign that sez...
"No Photos authorized!"
If you add lots of tufts to the whole thing, you will have people taking pictures all around you constantly.
You will have a tuft test from a hundred different angles. ;-)
No chase car needed !
" But be prepared for the " What the hell is that supposed to be ... sperm ? "
comments. ( I have encountered that one in the past . )

Maybe I could put the tail cone on a hinge and a small swivel wheel so the tail cone pivots up when encountering a steep driveway or dip. Hmmmm...

This is a question for Aerohead : If BamZipPow did indeed drive around for the next week or two with tufts stuck to his truck, what effect would this present aero wise ?
I'm guessing it would cause so little drag as to be unnoticeable.
And for BamZipPow, how about adding an extra inch or two of lip around the edges at the rear ? Tests have shown that an open cavity - a box cavity- to sometimes be beneficial.
It would be super easy to do !

I'll see how much scrap Coroplast I have left that I can sneak in behind the panels.

"I hear you like to trailer so I put a trailer on your trailer so you can trailer while your trailering." I think that's how it goes.
So you're adding to the overall length??? That would give room for a box cavity, which needs to be inset or angled to follow The Template.
Personally, I'd leave all that off (as at #374) and put a half-round on the front of the pant.
