I'm also thinking I will include tubular structure in the body. Imagine the curved line of the aerodynamic streamlining template as a roll bar.
I've been looking at the mpg calculator. To reach 100 mpg at 60 mph the drag coefficient, frontal area, and weight will need to be minimized.

I'd recommend a copy of the Southern California Timing Association, or National Hot Rod Association, SCCA, rulebook.
They'll lay out chassis and roll cage construction to the Nth-degree. Gumby-79s working through the SCTA book right now for his attempt on the salt, once COVIDs behind us.
EASTWOOD Publications has many a reference on fabrication ,as does You-Tube
