I've done my Dodge and Toyota both,adding onto what was already there.
Both have cedar wood and drywall screw skeletons.
The Dodge has Masonite skin.
The Toyota has aluminum skin.
I also did the CRX,taping cardboard over the nose and fiberglassing it in place to create a slip-on aero fascia.
The nose won't actually add so much by itself as buy you an insurance policy for aft-body mods added later.
If you'll find the thread 'Back from Bonneville' there are some photos there.
