I agree but some fundamentals could be derived.

Take the front wheel openings, they differ from others in that they are not the top part of an arc, they are an opening in a flattish receding plane.

Now anytime you have to deal with an opening on your street car, this little bit of information could provide some context or serve as a guide.

I know it's a stretch, but the bits and pieces might be applied elsewhere - if we only understood the principles well enough to do so.
