Wheels
you can do some cool things with autocad you can make a 5 mile line look like 2 inches on the computer and then zoom into it. You can also make rims which i love doing, but are main projects are designing blueprints for houses. Its a 3 year program at my highschool and if you pass all 3 you can get a scholarship thats what i am working on. Its fun but the program its self runs anywhare from 300-3000 dollers.
If you're doing houses, I guess Solidworks and ProEngineering aren't for you. They're for mechanical drawing. If you ever watched American Hot Rod about Boyd Coddington's garage, Mike used either Solidworks or ProEngineering to design wheels and then used the generated coordinates to run the Computer Aided Machining center to cut the wheels. (CADCAM)
I have Photoshop, but not the tablet and stylus that Alien has. It makes it easier. What did you want Photoshoped?

i wanted you or Alien to take the HHR he had with my rims on it and lowerd not the one you made with the fat tires in the back. I wanted to two tone it if possiblr, from the conner of the grill, the top i wanted to be sliverstone and the bottom remain the blue. I also wanted another version but this time i want the HHR a Summit white and the top half an Orange or Tangello color. I think i could do things like they do at boyds shop but i havent learned it yeat im only in year 2 out of 4 remember.
If the HHR had a defined body line I could work with , it might be easier to do. Not having that and using a marble mouse, I have a very hard time drawing straight lines or following outlines. That's where a tablet is nice to use.
The silver and blue sound nice. I'm not so sure about Summit white and orange. A cream color would probably be better. If SoCal can put up a nice shot of the silver and black, it should be a piece of cake to change the black to blue.

sounds good, I dont Know maybe thats what i ment a creme color and a bright Tangello Orange like West Coast Customs "Pimp My Ride" use on the ford ranger episode. I just want to have an idea what both of these ideas look like before i go to the dealership and place an oreder, because once you order theres no turning back.
