It looks like we could construct a Cartesian grid from the posted data,from zero,to 3.0 sq-ft frontal area of the greenhouse,then extrapolate for larger 'roofs', picking off their 50-mph road load from the grid.
Months ago,I was working on a side elevation drawing of this illustration,which included the wheels,to evaluate the aft-body contour based upon overall height.
It's buried somewhere in the rat's nest.:p
