sorry forgot to drop in the sketchup I've been playing with. ..

Obviously I don't want the sharp edges but I wait till I am finished playing with the model to round those out otherwise fab is sometimes annoying.

I'm not going to be shipping it off from CAD to have it fabbed so its a guideline for how I want to make the molds.

Its color coded for different CF layers. Obviously you can only layup so much at one time and I can't do shapes that are extremely complicated with a 2 hour layup, so I broke it up into layers. Blue, red, yellow are CF(Chassis, suspension mounts/lower mounts, engine upper mounts) Green and Teal are likely to be FG to save $. The boat tail components(unpainted) will be FG and I don't know if they are visible in the pics but there are two side-mounted radiators, bottom mounted oil coolers for trans and engine and a precooler mounted on the rear deck at the top all of which are also unpainted.
