It's like the section at the bottom here.Very good flow.

Just turn the section on it's side like Soapbox Derby cars have done,then treat the top of the body as a wingtip.
Enclosing the suspension system inside struts as the Edison-2 X-Prize winner has done would be great.
Also,the wheel fairings,just as Edison-2.
Thank you Aerohead! i will adapt this shape to the body!
