I think he just wants to do a car shell, like those used in what is called
Funny Car drag races. The plastic shell of a radio-controlled car instead.
Extruding vertexes out of a rectangle would probably do okay, hamapatch then
might be perfect. You'd want a reasonable density of grid points (vertexes)
to get the resolution needed. Unfortunately I don't use hamapatch enough to
instruct on this.
