I found this thread with some interesting designs.

One thing I learned from Old Mechanic's thread is that I want to make a few models out of clay or wood before I get into the fabrication stuff. Seems easier than spending several hours on CAD design anyhow.
Like Old Mechanic comfort is a priority, I got to have leg room for my long legs. I might even go to the junk yard and get a Jeep Cherokee fully electric adjustable seat. I really want to avoid having to crawl into the thing.
Does anyone have a formula or rule of thumb for height and areodynamics? I know lower is better, but like I said I don't want to crawl into it.

Follow Old Mechanic's lead on this one.You're not going to improve much on what he's doing.Seriously!
