oisinirish is an unknown quantity at this point

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

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!
