I would assume that it would be usefull to have some symmetry about the origin.

I would start by reading this document http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf

then go through these tutorials (a little old- but should be useful)

Hi! If I were you, I would use surfaces to define the shape. Then trim off the unneeded portion. Lastly, thicken the body panel one by one.

Let me know if you see any issue.

Thanks!
