Autocad works great but a weee bit expensive. TurboCad or DesignCad may work. Relatively cheap comparatively speaking. Another option would be to buy an engineering student a couple 'o beers and see if they can get you into their computer lab to use AutoCad. LOL

AutoCAD is sweet. It will work great but yea the cost is nuts.

I'd be interested in the final product. I love the bull bar look, but it doesn't offer the same amount of protection the brush guards do. That said, I think some of the full guards can be too much, so a hybrid would be really interesting to see.

Good luck!

I'm a gypsy with Photoshop if you are interested in some design help.
