What started out as my return to Automation after a one year absence turned into something far from a normal Auto Car. This is just the beginning into my deeper dive into full on Beam car modding. This mod might not be for everyone as it doesn't focus on the damage as much as others. Feedback is still always welcome though! I will take action against reuploads!

Quick Run Down: This is a late 60s to early 70s muscle car heavily based on the Chevrolet Nova. I made this towards the later half of 2024 and I'm continuing to improve on the mod with updates all the way through 2025 if life permits me to do that. Being based on Automation platform might turn some people away but hopefully I've been able to set a new bar for what people can do with them. I'll give a quick rundown of some of the things I've done to improve this off your stereotypical Automation car. Fixed main jbeam shape Fully modeled chassis and suspension Openable hood Fully animated engine and interior Dynamic mirrors New halogen simulation Custom skins And plenty of other cool stuff
after a good bit of fidgeting with the jbeam i finally got it to cooperate with me, the trunk now opens to match the opening hood (trunk cargo is next on the chopping block)
Cargo options for the Aphelion are now in the works, Ive given it the boxes for career mode and Ive added a few joke ones just for freeroam
not rlly i mean yea its an Automation based car but he modeled the whole suspension and engine,Workin Interior, Possibilty to use the Customization menu,the new Lightning System and much more so imo its not rlly an Automation Mod anymore its abit like the Gavril Vertex and i think it is ok to have it here since he wants to modify the Damage and all that too
still working on the update, ive added an aftermarket gauge set with multiple styles to pick from, the one shown is made by a friend. and ive also made some basic hinges for the trunk and hood as they lacked them. im currently working on more steering wheel options as it only had the one stock option before --- Post updated --- thanks to the help of Slipnot Dude we now have a 6 point cage
racing steering wheel, racing seat and then a stripped out interior have been added. thanks again to Slipnot Dude for the 6 point roll cage
dude this is sick, i didn't think it was originally an automation car when i first saw it. keep it up
been doing a lot of under the hood work the past few days, ive reworked brake thermals, new NA 383cui diesel engine, 5 speed automatic transmission, completely overhauled rear suspension jbeam, new Slick Coat White Line tires, every single configuration in the mod has had touch ups, new steel plate spoiler, overhauled tire physics featuring much softer sidewall and tread paired with a more realistic grip model, new selectable rim lip (comes with chrome, metal, paintable) and a bunch of other small things that would take me 16 years to list.
doing some final touches on this update and a last minute addition was a beater super stocker dirt car. its beat to crap as a default config, the hood latch is broken the trunk doesnt close and the rear bumper is sagging
thanks! glad others enjoy my creation --- Post updated --- now that i think about it, would you want a pic or two from your collection featured on the mods main page?
