Here's a slightly better version:

I could email you the SKP file and you can work on it -- there is a section tool that can show the surface contour.

When you reconstruct this, is your plan to skin it with fiberglass? Or, just toughen up the ribs, etc. so you can run it as foam and see how it changes the FE -- and then finish it?
