All of this body of work will be necessary for you to have enough tools to work with .
I've been actively involved in road vehicle aerodynamics since 1974 and it's taken this long to arrive at a fabrication tool as simplified as the 'Template'.
Perhaps your research will uncover something hundreds of other investigators have missed over the last 90-years of active wind tunnel research.
You'll want to have your car fully constructed and tested on paper before you purchase an ounce of material or consume a Watt of energy.
Sorry I couldn't help.

I doubt I'm smarter then you. And I'm not going to spend 40 years reading about stuff.
It is a shame you can't help me build anything better then a stock 1994 suburban.
I'll just have to stumble along without all the required engineering research.
