I will probably order some plywood from that source -- thank you.

I saw this cutter on the other thread -- it looks awesome. If it can cut aluminum or plywood, it would be a great tool to have, that's for sure!

On a related note, my son tells me that he saw an add on for Half Life 2 (related the "Garry's Mod"?) that can do CFD with a converted SketchUp file. You put a motor in it, and give it a weight, and you "drive" it! He is still following up on the details; so if it does actual CFD analysis, or if you simply put virtual "tufts" on the car as you drive it, I don't know. But, the thought of getting any semi-realistic aerodynamic test on the CarBEN EV model as being possible, is a good thing.
