One of the coolest things on cars I have ever seen at a museum was an actual engineering dept layout on a 50 Chevy car fender. It was life size and had the dimensions of the fender and every single curve and stuff on it so it could be made using that flat piece of paper for reference! Never saw anything like it being I am not an educated dude, this was new to me and fascinating. I don't remember where it was, some little tiny museum on interstate 40 or New Mexico or Kansas I don't have a clue. But damn I wish I had gotten a photo of it at least.
