Yea I was about to say screen capture would definetly be the easiest way. It not more of having the files on hand but more of something to reference if someone needs to look at them.

Well one thing I really would be interested in is a cad with dimensions for those cummins motor mounts you made in your thread, but in general anything. I was thinking it could be a thread where you throw your cad on with a description do if people like it they can accurately recreate that piece if they wanted and don't have to go dig through a 77 page build thread to find something.

77 pages of text is a very little price to pay for the time and effort a guy takes into designing , drawing , building and testing a product
plus you could always bookmark the page if you liked it

Sorry guys - ain't gonna happen.
I should have MADE the guys make a jig/fixture for them when we made the set for Cheeto so I could sell them. Bummed I didn't & will do it if the motor comes back out of the truck, but at this point I hope that won't happen for a while.
And top fuel - thanks. Glad someone gets/appreciates it.

Thanks.
The motor has been in in out more times than I care to admit & I really don't want to do it again. I REALLY should have made sure to make a fixture for the motor mounts before they went back in though... Oh well.
Oh - and I didn't even have cad files for the motor mounts until I made the ones for Cheet-o. I did the originals in old school cad (cardboard aided design). I then put those templates in cad when I made cheetos mounts. I can make & sell pieces for the things but without a fixture to weld them in I couldn't guarantee the "new" ones I'd make would come out exactly like the originals.
