Although I have never cared for the looks of a Cobra myself, I am quite the car nut, and also happen to use SolidWorks 50-60 hours a week for work. After following a link to this thread from an engineering forum, I have spent a substantial amount of time over the last 2 days going through all 57 pages. My colleagues and I are all quite impressed with the work that you and your company have done, some of the parts you're using are quite intricate, in particular the curved part in the rear wheel well.

Also, we're quite jealous not only of the equipment you have at your disposal, but the freedom you're allowed in your design work!

That all being said, I want to congratulate you on the simply brilliant piece of automotive art that you and your company have created, absolutely stunning work!
Hey, thanks for the kind words. I am ever so close to publishing the entire story. Stand by. Maybe it will be ready in a week or so. You simply won't believe what we did. As I look back on it, I know I can't believe many of the things we did. For that matter, I can't believe the book either. I just wanted the book to be as nice as the car. I think it is.
