Description
We were tasked with creating a toy car, that could fit into a 4"x3''x2" box while also being made of 2, or more parts that are mechanically connected.

Conclusion
I was a good bit rusty at inventor, I still had no idea how to use loft and sweep, but I remembered how to create a sketch, extrude it, and how to mold it with fillet and chamfer. However I still ran into the problem of me always seeming to design the sketch backwards on the x axis, resulting in inventor thinking the back of the car body was actually the front. I learned in this project, how to use the .idw files again, as I hadn't used it in about three years. I also learned how to change the background of the part files, and how to insert pictures into inventor to use as a basis for a sketch (was going to try and emboss the Plymouth decal into the side of the car). Overall, I managed to get through the project with minimal frustration, as the car I chose was not as complex as it could have been.
