Does anyone have a rendering of locost bodywork?

Hey guys,
Looking to play around with a fluid flow program and if someone already has a locost body made up it would save me some time. IGES format or any other that solidworks or Rhino can open.
I will post any results I get.
Thanks,
Cory

Save your time. Just model it as a block! I think FlakMonkey has some on his site...

No, Ive owned bricks before (aka late 70s chevy trucks).

Other than the outboard wheels I dont see any reason why the aero needs to be so bad on a locost. I think with a few vents/ducts you could drastically reduce the drag. Hence me playing around. Besides, even bricks can be improved instead of just saying they suck.....

Check out the LCM Ultralite LM or whatever it's called. It'll give you ideas anyways.
