Please help me draw this stupid thing
MaMeNnO:
You might wanna look at A9CAD http://www.a9tech.com/. The free version is pretty good.

Thanks! That program is awesome. I was easily able to setup my scale and draw and outline. I couldn't do that with any of the other free or commercial demo tools I used. It does have some quirks, but for free I can get used to them. I may even end up buying it. It's only $30.
Do you know if there's a way to add measurement lines or do I just have to draw them manually? For example, I want to add something like: <----- 30" -----> and be able to dynamically update it if I stretch or shrink lines.
Tailgunner:
I do all mine in Rhino3d, but if A9cad is working for you stick with it. AFAIK you'll end up re-doing your dimensions when you scale or move stuff. Quite often I use the dimensions as "rulers" so I move stuff to specific places.
I did this one yesterday after seeing a pic of a Missle Command cockpit cab, I've never even seen a real one before so some of it is guesstimation. I still haven't figured out where they put the monitor, I'm guessing it was reflected on a mirror.

Looks nice, Tailgunner. I think I didn't try Rhino3d because it said the save is disabled in the trial. I did figure out how to draw the dimensions in A9CAD. It looks like I will have to redo them if I make changes. There doesn't seem to be anything that tells it to anchor to an element.

Yup - the monitor is located almost above your head, and reflected via an angled mirror. Check out this site, lots of pictures of the cab, especially check out the "guts" part:
