Go online and search the car. Enclude in the search dimensions. A bunch of info will come up telling you stuff like wheel base, overall length, width and height. Then apply those dimensions to your drawing you have rendered and make the adjustments to bring it to scale. Same applys for the frame and suspension. I always make the body first then the frame to suit. But it's your build. Do as you see fit

This car is absolutely gorgeous in silver; a very fluid shape that's so easy on the eye.
