thought I'd toss in an update.
I've moved further along in my design and got the point where I was laying out the metal panels in the drawing per each piece and nesting them into availiable sheet size of aluminum. I also had a friend who had his engine out of his Civic so I got to take measurements off the frame rails and subframe to pick up the suspension mounting points, and ran a string thru the hubs while the car was sans axles to get a relation of the holes compared to center line.
Last week I came home to find my computer non-functioning, it has a dead motherboard. The drawing was saved from the hard drive but I'm stuck with a old non-autocad capable computer for a few weeks until mine comes back from warranty repair
My engineering degree'd friend and I agreed that as long as the window or window section opens enough to get a fast food bag and super size drink thru it's all good lol
