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.

Nothing wrong with that mate! Having taught myself to use Fusion 360 as well, I know how complex a drawing that is, so nice work. 

Yes, fusion is a great intro program. I am still learning it and the best way to learn these days is to be self-taught because you actually get to do things.

     there isn't really any method, to achieve car panel sized plugs from scratch, that is cheaper that wooden framing filled with foam. sure this could easily cost some thousands, but we are talking...
