Vehicles take Ferrous and Non-ferrous metals to make. Example: Iron and Copper. You need a Weapon, Droid, General Crafting tool and the matching Crafting Station. You'll want to pick up some Pyllonian Cake & Bespin Port to enhance your assembly and experimentation chances. That's about it.
A really good idea would be to underprice your swoops until you really start to sell them and can compete with the larger sellers. Don't underprice them a ton, just enough for someone to travel to your shop rather than a competitor. Give them a deal on a case, a smaller deal on less, and regular pricing on one.
Find a fairly priced resource provider, or harvest your own. Vehicles only rely on SR (Shock Resistance) as their experimentable statistic. Double check resources to ensure their SR is as high as possible and you have a lot of it. I think it takes 1600 Ferrous and 6400 Non-ferrous units, I might be wrong. The trouble with harvesting your own resources is that you have to bear an initial setup fee of the harvesters and find people to help you do it. I have over 100 harvesters, all cost me anywhere from 50k-150k each and over 85 of them are active. My cost per unit is around 0.3 though. Then you don't have to spend 2-5 cpu when you buy it instead of harvest it. That's if you have the time.
Advertise on the boards what you are selling and for what price. Contact guilds and cities, see if they want to buy crates. I help provide my city with crates on occasion if there is a need. Every new player moving in is made ready with a swoop or two, a house and some creds to get going. If you can break into something of that sort, you'll only need to make a sale a week or so to breakeven.
Good Luck !
