Shelby Cobra, My first digital buck design.
Hi guys.
So I have set myself a large undertaking and I don't mean coachbuilding a cobra from scratch. No, my challenge ahead is to create a 3d digital buck when I am a complete novice at CAD and CAM software. But the good news is a have one of the Shelby Cobra's made in Mexico sitting in my shop for the next 4 months and I have a the start of a digital buck given to me by a friend who has no interest is selling his design and was happy to see his design go to use. So let me show you what I have so far. Screen Shot 2017-01-15 at 12.35.08 PM.jpg Screen Shot 2017-01-15 at 12.34.51 PM.jpg

Help needed
So what I'm thinking is, the best place to start is to double check the digital buck dimensions against the real car and make any modifications necessary.
But already my lack of 3D Cad has me at a standstill. The files supplied to me are a .igs and a .3DM and Fusion 360 works with .STL files I believe. Fusion will open an .igs file and all the stations of the buck are selectable with the mouse and are individual sketches but are not editable. So being that I want to edit the buck, I export the file as a .stl file. What I discovered and I'm sure is common knowledge to anyone but me (a total novice) is that a .stl file makes all the stations of the buck one solid mesh model made of triangles. Cobra stl screen shot.jpg If anyone is willing to give me some guidance I'd more than happy to share the buck design and my findings. I know there is power in the minds of many at I'm out of my depth here. Thanks Dan

Dan,
I'd be glad to help with this. My experience with importing igs files is that you end up recreating the file by measuring and remodeling if you want fully editable. If you would like help with this, I would be more than happy to help and create a fusion 360 project that can be shared however you like. I also have the option of doing it in solid works if preferred. Let me know if you'd like me to help. Thanks, Zeke

I am also interested in any info that involves importing .iges files into SolidWorks. To date, I am importing the .iges file into SolidWorks, saving it as a .prt file and modifying it that file. then I export each piece as a parasolid. It has taken me a lot of time to do it this way, but I have been having satisfactory results.

The Shelby Cobra
Here are a couple pictures from of the original I have in my shop. I have heard these are not perfect but I'm hoping with the 3D model to correct and unevenness as I go.
