Given my current job as patent examiner doesn't give me much creative time, and is relatively easy on my time in general (first job I ever had I got to leave work at work) I wanted to do a design project. I am looking for models of FWD drivetrain systems. Engine, transmissions and mounting systems. Entire front subsystems would be great.

Google foo has failed. If only they were semi-clothed women...

Sounds like you need to google around for some training guides---

Materials something like this?

Looking for models. Maybe it is a SEMA thing that I will have to pay for I bet Keith Tanner might know

I was hoping for some factory stuff. I have submitted to grabcad before. I know this is out there, I just need to find it.
