Is that cool or what? Too much fun. I was drawing some parts thinking "Man, this would be sooo much easier if there was a library of objects..." Made me think to ask if anyone here is, or has modeled any VW chassis stuff?

I envy you. The last CAD program I used was AutoCAD 11 and I sucked at it.

OK, pic looks nice, but that type of front end with long upper shock towers does not really correspondent with stock frame members. Heater tubes and openings? Floor pan with deep floors?
