Hello all,
I am interested in designing my own car and about 3 weeks ago, I decided to start learning basic designs on Fusion 360 simply because it cost zero dollars. Given that I had never designed anything before using any computer design programs, I would like you to rate for me this car that I designed. Do not feel bad pointing mistakes because that is how I learn the best. Your genuine criticisms are highly encouraged.
