They're working drawings for a future post.
One of the members needed an idea about the plan taper so I went ahead and posted it.
I'm years behind on projects so there's no telling when I'll be able to clean those up.
Since typical production cars begin significant roof taper in advance of the body sides,the roof contour runs way from the plan taper.Which is okay,as the wide truncation leaves us room for plates and lights.
Also,the air along the sides of a car is slower and carries less kinetic energy so we shouldn't expect to support as aggressive a contour their as with the roof.
A 'pure' half-body would have identical top and side curvature,but it would be very wide.
