Help with car body design wanted!

I’m designing and building a mid engined car with a bike engine. I have a CAD software but having been out of the “CAD-software-use” for some years the modeling speed isn’t what it used to be.
Therefore I´m looking for help to design the body, which I will make out of carbon fibre and epoxy. Not new to making molds and vacuum infusion.

Is there anyone out there interested in helping out? I might be able to help you out with something?

I'm across the pond, so advise only ^^

What program are you running ?
If you want to do fem analysis of a GFRP/CFRP body...
you'll be in it for the long haul trust me.

I guess in this stage you are struggling with the design of the thing ?
shaping surfaces is a pain, doing it in cad is hard.
Most designers work from real sketches, which they build up from.
by using a side and front view as underlayers.

Or use a design program, and work with the .stl from there
