[QUOTE="Naughty_Finger, post: 365446, member: 8026"] Yup... I wanted to get the basic "geometry" set. I created "fake" seats, engine, tranny, and tcase based on measurements. I make the "appear" to make sure I get my spacing correct. Now that the geometry is all set and everything has a space accounted for I can work on making it "mine" so to speak. I realize it's impossible for me to do this up in a program, ANY program for that matter and just build it to spec. I wanted to "design it" so I could have a "blue print" reference so to speak. Once have the jig up with the engine and drive train in place i can get to work. The cool thing about bend tech pro is I can use this as my reference then when I get to a part like the rock rails, I can easily use the real dimensions off my actual chassis then create that part is less that 5 minutes and know where to start my bends and where to notch. I took White guy's advice and leaned my pillars back a bit.. looks much better.. also worked on the side bars. Still needs a little work on the roof and other spots. I'll put a pic up tomorrow. Also when It's done i'll have the "plans" or bend tech file available free for download. it would be a good starting point for someone. [/QUOTE]
