Trying to model and print a RC car chassis

Hi everyone, i am quite new to Fusion 360 and would like a little guidance on how to go about modeling the chassis for my 35yr old RC car.  My goal is to have a printable model to replace this one as it has seen better days! I have attached a pic of what I'm trying to re-create and am a little lost on how i should go about modeling it. Any suggestions on how i should break it up? Should i draw half and mirror?

Yes mirror the body when first half is done, half as much work to do yourself.

 

Work from outside > in,

largest part > to smallest detail,

 

make top, side and front view orthogonal canvases to help size and detail accuracy.

 

Might help....

Thanks for the tips! I thought on it some more and the important parts are where the front suspension and gear box attach, i can really do anything in between.
