John,
You are correct that the basic shapes came from the 97 Chevelle. The wing is an Eppler 862 strut airfoil modified to be 24% thick. I didn't design it with an open cockpit because I prefered it to be closed with a turtledeck. The wing construction is my typical "eggcrate" ribs and spar with spar caps. The gear mounting is typical for my designs with wing mounted gear. The airplane is meant to be a compliment to the 97 Chevelle, that is why I say it was inspired by the 97 Chevelle.
