    Yes, I'm doing it. I'm selling my soul to satan and making this lore friendly because I'm lazy or something. Skill issue. Idk.

    please reasd the thread before commenting on aspects of the mod

    Anyway, this is the Soliad Spica. Spica because it has something to do with horses, just don't ask me. It is going to use a lot of base game meshes to save myself the sanity. I will try changing some design elements a bit more. I think you can figure out what the IRL counterpart is. (im not gonna say the name)

    q & a :

    q: will this be paid?
    a: i'm a hobbyist i'm not trying to make beamng modding my career or side hustle

    q: why boliad and not gravel:
    a:
    I've gotten some comments about the name so i'd like to tack this on. if you have anything to say about it that hasn't been said, feel free. No more "but izz gavel barstow pliss" plz
    q: its not lore accurate!!!!!!
    a:
    dont care it's a fun mod not official content cry me a minecraft ocean biome

    q: years
    a:
    The years are they way i see fit in comparison with the legran and wendover. i can't make the years earlier due to the wendover parts used. it'll probably have a full run into say '95 since that's the end of the wendover production, but with the current facelifts i end it at '91. some boxy cars like this pushed their way into 94-95 so i think it's reasonable enough for a game.

    q: engine old
    a:
    rl counterpart was a carbureted car until like 85 so. they also used that engine for a wayyy longer time just with updates. wendover engine doesn't fit the way i want but i might use some parts off of it. (intakes and heads and whatnot)

    q: this part of the model is should are be like this
    a
    : not once is the name of the real life counterpart mentioned in the thread. suggestions are ok but there's no "this should be like this" unless it is just inherently wrong. parts suggestions and model suggestions are ok but don't expect a "fix" i've intentionally made a lot of parts different.

    q: engine options / other parts
    a:
    planned engines : i4, i6, current v8, modern v8 swap. other planned parts include svo style front end, currently working on a notch style body, perhaps t-tops, and likely a body kit or two. cowl/cut hoods, standard stuff. more will be added after initial release.

    q: when releas
    a:
    before i die. (soontm)

    on a serious note, i'm aiming for before the year ends, which i think is viable. but depends on my mental.

    current issues, will try to remedy some before release
    -wobbly jbeams, many of them :(
    -auto shifter does not work (almost all configs are manual because otherwise there would be a million configs, so for now i've moved this down in priority)
    -clipping airbox on fullsize engine swap
    -many model shading problems
    -bosozoku hood movies slightly out of place
    -some parts are not jbeamed properly (particularly fender flares and a thing here and there)

    The shell is scratch made by me and the interior/frame/a few minor parts like mirrors are all beamng assets. Textures are beamng assets. Some nodes are scratch placed, but sits on 200bx chassis and various jbeams stolen from other cars (covet, wendover, 200bx, barstow)



    attached is some pictures and things i have of the car in recent/latest state ~

    foxakemi_extras features original variants of skins that were made more 'friendly' for the repository version.
    this features the general lee livery with the confederate flag and the ricer livery with the rising sun. neither of these skins are meant to be political statements, just references. Not interested in hearing your stance on them, they are optional for a reason, thanks.

    I'd mostly finish up another mod before moving onto a whole new project, but looks nice!

    It's good not to pile projects onto yourself, but side projects are never a bad idea as sometimes you lose will to do one but still want to do something.

    Not a bad idea. Probably no functional top but I'd love to give it a try. maybe t-tops at the least.

    My affordable dream car! Beam really needed a good foxbody, and having it lore friendly is a massive plus! Wish you luck on this!
    Will it be paid? I honestly don't care if so, as long as it's quality-made.

    No intention for it to be paid or any sort of paid expansions. I prefer to do this as a hobbyist, for myself, but I'd consider commissions if I became good enough and efficient enough.

    If i wanted to be realistic it'd probably be under the barstow specifically speaking. I intend to reuse wendover interior though plus soliad much cooler brand.

    i dont think 'spica' fits this, both because its already some weird chinese mpv

    and it is very close to the word 'cunt' in czech :)

    I don't know czech, but realistically some obscure-to-anyone-but-the-chinese chinese car shouldn't really matter. there is a name for everything out there.

    anyway, spent the night fixing up the taillight materials. Now uses pessima instead of etki. i gotta be up in 3 hours, whoops
