+1 on the above link. Might I also suggest, if you are not going to make templates on the computer, buy a nice set of french curves. An inexpensive heat gun will also go a long way! They will really help. Good luck.

HypeRR,
A French Curve is a type of ruler that you can use to draw professional looking..well....curves!

Here is a link to what I am talking about.
