The working drawing is a precise, 1:1 scale drawing that describes your car and its features. Working drawings should have top and side, or profile, views. An accurate working drawing is important for two
reasons:
1) A copy of the working drawing serves as a template for rough-cutting your car blank.
2) You may be required to submit your working drawing. (Competitions)
