Thumbs up

Hey Andrew, I'm a firm believer that CAD should stand for Cardboard Aided Design.

I don't say that flippantly. You can flesh out and form some basic design elements quickly with minimal effort. Before making the fairing for my bike I did print out some pics of it and sketch some ideas of what I needed. When I built my jet boat I spent a lot of time sitting on a milk crate making motor noises which helped the ergonomics and deciding where to mount things. I'm good at visualizing what I want but still needed some stuff for my mind to work with.

You should be able to lock in your seats, cowl / firewall and radiator pretty quickly and flesh out the form from there. Good luck and post pics.
