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.

The automotive guys who do surfacing on bodypanels can spend months getting it right. Keep practicing and remember if you are wanting to make this in composites think about how you will make it as the cost and complexity of tooling can easily kill a project. Good luck

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. +x scottracing - 1/27/2018 8:54:38 PM I think youve done a sterling job as a first go at cad.

Good luck Thank you very much Scottracing. I do agree with you on tooling and cost. Is there a way out there to cut the cost? People I have contacted on building a prototype someday are talking of over $200K for a single prototype. Very discouraging but I am still in research stage. I know one can research forever and get lost in the research and with that said, I do not want to spend a lot of time on it. If there is a way to research as I start the project I would appreciate that. Even if it is starting as a garage project.
