    Been Messing around recently with the idea of the old school American Rat-Rods, Cab in the middle, massive engine in the front, handles like a cruise liner and is about as save as descending Everest in a washing machine drum
    So here is my basic attempt so far deemed "The Rat King"
    Jbeam is surprisingly not horrible apart from one small issue, small bits of modelling here and there are always taking place

    Planned parts

    Engines-So many engine ideas that can work for this are being made

    Headlights-models are in place, just need jbeamed

    Chopped burnside-cab- Bit far fetched but at some point this will be a thing

    This is what happens when a worn out D-Series Upfit chassis and body meet a T-series engine with a smattering of other pieces chucked in

    Feel free to suggest more ridiculous parts and thanks for looking!

    Sick! this is Fire!
    (suggestion: lights next to the front grille, maybe angry looking ones? - flames livery - coupe - ish body? like something like a curved shell for the back? - engines with straight pipes coming of of the side with a big supercharger, blower, or a turbo?)
    anyways, really really cool! happy with the modding!
    EDIT: i didnt saw the "WIP" orange board thing up there, sorry for useless questions!

    Makeshift chopped up lights are in the works currently, Flames sound perfect for this, and some kind of horrifying quad turbo or twin supercharged bigblock can be arranged ;)

    D-series roof light setup?
    and also maybe give the lights angry covers and make the burnside grill look like it has fangs

    something like this but with the burnside grille

    I think that upside down portal axles for the front would be KILLER to give it hat mean stance and look (optional ofc!)

    Still learning Jbeam but have seen a few examples of what you mean, might try making some vertically offest hubs to mimic that look

    --- Post updated ---
    Oh one last thing idk if its too much of a bother but could you add some sort of roof visor and maybe even some sort of crew cab config? it would go with the rat rod style but also i cant download any mods unless their repo on geforce so i cant get my hands on the dfa pack anymore. Idk jus an extra request. Still thanks for this awesome mod!!!

    Semi roof visor has been in my mind for a while, and a crew cab config sounds mint. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Phantom grilles, high rise intakes,twin carbs, turbine/screw blowers, turbos(diesel options too), drag slicks, radials, White walls. Exhaust options, twin stacks single open motor stacks, shifters, variable fuel tank shapes and sizes motor tuning options(talk to the owner of the DFA mod here and ask about using his engines and customizations for them while also adding your own. Also big note is all motors of DFA are Chevy and include diesel options.so...) Different cab types ranging from Ford - Chevy (meat wagons to coupes) along with alot of misc items to decorate the vehicle with( Chucky dolls, guns, flags etc. Here's what I'm building currently irl. She is a Frankenstein rn but it'll only get worse
