you do not have to make the body you could ....

Here is a site where a guy used an exsiting body and transformed it.

just for fun but I have been looking at already exsisting shapes that might work.

This is non-traditional as they get.

Here's a VW bus trailer. I think it would be cooler with a Bug!

Great idea, and hey, whadya know? I have a DC-3 cockpit lying in my back yard.

I guess it's a creative idea, but if I really had a cockpit, and was inclined to risk my marriage by putting it on display, I would make it into a playhouse of neighborhood kids. Oh, wait! Even better, I would use it for an extra bedroom like that "addition" for sale on the Missouri Trailer Trash website. Just imagine... a giant cockpit bolted to your house.

We saw one of these at a sports show. It was kind of cool looking. It could probably be mounted on a utility trailer too for those that don't have trucks.

next dor to where I live is an old subaru sherpa 2 door hatch
and since ive started to look at teardrops I was thinking cut the front of it and cover that. You'd have 2 side doors, a rear hatch side windows.
It would be pretty ugly but an easy cheap way to build a non traditional teardrop, it even has roughly the right shape

Never had Sherpas in the US. I think the US equivelant is the DL.
Here's a pic of a Sherpa:
