that all wood one on the taco is just gorgeous, but waaay out of my skill and budget lol
Your photo is close to a direct profile, but not quite. So the overlay is approximate, but not precise. I think the angles are labeled on the profile drawing? And yes, the curve is compound, I think.

If you cut ribs from foam, and use 1/4" foam as a skin, you can fiberglass that, and get the shape with a lot less effort.
