Hi Terry,
I never have work with Sheet Metal add-in perhaps is an interesting module.
SolidWorks 2008 is to much for me, I use the 2006.
Putting you Cobra in SW is a matter of time and lost of measurements.
You just start with the chassis and load it bit by bit.
You can lay-down for a wile and you come back with new parts.
My engine in SW was made in 24 hours and once you get the trick you will get enthusiasm to go further.
The best is to use AutoCAD as a base of the build because it goes faster to make the sketch in AutoCAD.
As an example, the engine build was made with several sketch, you make the AutoCAD section shape of the engine and heads and then you extrude it in SW.
I hope this stimulate you to work with it, you will love it!
