This model was more or less to see where I could straighten things up and what bends could be omitted and which ones needed to stay and to get a good idea what bends I'd need to get. This file right now couldn't be used to build one and bolt it on the car but it wouldn't be too tough to correct if it was be something that was to be used for manufacturing and you noted your changes as you did things.
That's nice I wish I could do it, I have my old bosses fully licensed SolidWorks 2012 setup on a computer here to learn, but after using AutoCad for so long I just cannot wrap this old brain around it. No patience these days. I really should try though as it just sits here. How hard can it be?

It really kicked AutoCad out the door on it's ****. Just as well I retired as I may have been kicked out the door with the ACad.
