Generally, you want to be matching the overall outer shape of the car. Therefore, follow any 'hard lines' that are apparent from the blueprints. You'll also find that having plenty of reference photographs of your vehicle from various angles will also help greatly in trying to build the spline cage.

I'd suggest going back to the early McLaren vids and re-watching them to see how Phil goes about laying down the cage...
