You should try it!

That is correct (about the compound curves).
Here is the problem. In building a "kit" car, there is an enormous price step from getting the engine to getting the body. There is no way (currently) to do this incrementally (spread the cost out over time). There should be a way, and thus there is a small scratch build forum... I am just searching for ideas. Has anybody ever "laser scanned" a body, then corrected it for symmetry?
