Doing some investigation on building a Insight boat tail. I'm trying to figure out how to get a computer modelling effort going. I have been reading some of Neil's stuff and I'm getting the impression that I'm in reach of something worthwhile, but I am an old foggie and not all that computer literate - although an engineer by ancient training. I have adobe Photoshop CS5 and am planning a new computer purchase within the next few weeks. I have discovered that I can download the free version of Sketchup pretty easily and I see that the-blueprints.com has a vector drawing of my car, a first generation Insight. Is this what I need?

Next question. I'm buying a windows machine with lots of memory, and hard drive space. Is there anything special about the graphics card that I need to consider?
