    You see, i have an obsession of a car I dreamed up one night. (Its a Studebaker Lark front with a BMW 2002 body and '69 Camaro taillights, fyi) Ive always wanted for it to be in Beamng, but I dont have the resources or skills to model it on a program. If I were to sketch up some plans, could I have someone build it for money? Im a cheapskate, so about 100$ would be my budget... Apologies if reading this was a waste of time.

    100 bucks wont get you very far to pay someone to build it. You'd probably be looking at a number in the thousands for labor.

    A quality BeamNG car would probably be at least 100 hours of labor. Considering the skill and experience required I'd say $100/hr is a fair pay rate. So you'd be looking at $10,000 at a minimum. Or you could outsource it to those places they pay $3/hr, quality not guaranteed...

    My original idea was to have a car kinda like an Escort, with fender flares, and a rally-type looking body, like a BMW 2002. On second thought, instead of spending thousands, I could just wait for the Escort that James is building, lol... Maybe Ill just learn to build it myself.

    10,000! That's awesome! And 100 hours is right, the last car I made took about 70 hours total and that's not including a jbeam, my current car is already at about 30 hours and is only about 40% done.
