If you want to make a pattern for these, I can offer the following suggestion.
Take cardboard and trim it to fit small sections at a time (around wheel wells and fuel filler), rather than try to make a huge one-piece pattern. Tape it together for a solid pattern , THEN make a single pattern for a final fit.
Also, most panels are 4X8', so you will want something that is an I shape to align and cover where the sections butt against each other. You also want to set it up so the sections are supported well.
Back in the day, I used a single sheet sideways (cheap), but they look better with the lines running vertically (more sheets, more seams).
