Pat Teaford has been a maker of custom car engines and parts, as well as a builder of hot rods for over 20 years. Pat grew up on a farm in Kansas and in addition to learning all of the responsibilities of raising pigs, beef and dairy cows; he began, at an early age, to be interested in things mechanical in nature. He began by designing go-carts and by the 5th grade, was actually starting to weld his designs together! Pat started using TurboCAD in the mid-1990’s, when his younger brother (who’s an aerospace engineer) gave him a copy of TurboCAD V6. Pat reckons he didn’t get serious with using TurboCAD as a design tool until around 2000, when he upgraded to version 8. In 2006, Pat upgraded to v12, and began using the CAM plug-in. Pat starts his design process using TurboCAD, creating both conceptual designs of the car he is going to create, as well as precision designs for individual parts.
