The frontal area almost all occurs before 3/4 of the length of the vehicle, from there it wedges back down on the top and up on the bottom. The almost part is for the radiators that protrude slightly along the rear after the frontal area.

Frontal area is 14.5 sq ft.

It wedges up until 6 feet from the nose and then it starts boat-tailing. Max chassis height difference is 3' which makes a very tight fit for the engine and trans. chassis width is 5 feet. It boat tails at a somewhat steep angle on top and a shallow one along the underbelly for 1.5 feet after the apex of cross sectional area.

Total length of 7.5 feet as it sits now, 5 feet wide and just 3 feet tall. Obviously I haven't integrated the wheels and suspension yet so it will be a bit taller than 3 feet ^_^.
