He did say "pick up." That doesn't necessarily mean buy. But Solidworks isn't near as expensive as ProE or Inventor, especially if you can find a way to get a student version. On the 3D modeling topic, making a 3D model of your components wouldn't be too hard (you don't need much detail for this sort of thing). With software like Solidworks, ProE, Inventor, etc., manipulating components to check fit, placement, etc. is quick and easy. If I ever find the time to build the chassis I want to build for my CJ7, I will definitely start with a 3D model.
