    I think you got a small mesh problem right on top of that wall next to top of the seat

    I think you should know that I know that you know that it is a work in progress

    I know that you know that I know that you know, but I was just pointing out a problem you might have missed

    Added an option for the camera, if you select the "frame" one, your camera is attached to the frame, if you select the other one, the camera is attached to the seats, even when they fly out of the car :D

    would you please stop commenting "my le mans idea"?
    I got the message.

    There will be at least one race version, a stock version and maybe some others. But I don't know yet since the basic stuff isnt ready yet.

    As it stands now: Frame is good, body, and some misc parts as well, suspension is still utter shit, hood jbeam is still a placeholder, mesh of the hood isnt done, main body isnt textured right, frame isnt textured, etc etc. I really hate texturing so that will go very slow.

    seriously?

    "I have been working on an old roadster since friday.
    It is inspired by the MG TD.
    Name will be Fintray Roadster.

    Powered by a 50bhp 1.25L i4 engine, it isn't very fast but it is quite nimble because of the low weight.

    Parts are scratch made or sourced from the miramar.
    Jbeam is scratch made, apart from the rear suspension which is a modified pigeon suspension."
    :confused:

    Oh my god, I used to own a TD until I tried to swap a Coventry simplex engine to replace the old one and dropped it through a rusty frame rail.
    You mind if I use the Fintray name later on in a mod?

    1. No. MG Cars, the company that made the car it's based on is of British origin. That makes the Fintray even more interesting, because we seriously lack cars from the UK.

    2. It isn't a Hot Rod. This is an example of what a Hot Rod looks like.

    Progress: Added mirrors yesterday and worked on the front end design today.
    I also reworked parts of the front suspension jbeam.

    Doors, mirrors, seats and windscreen can fall off the car of course :D
    I am also working on a third grille option, that one should look like the one pictured in the first pic, but with a bigger logo and more rounded.

    I don't mean a modified hot rod. I mean a stock hot rod.
    --- Post updated ---
    I think it will look good on it.

    That goes against the very definition of a hot rod...
    (taken from google)

    hot rod
    noun
    1. 1.
      a motor vehicle that has been specially modified to give it extra power and speed.
    OT: This mod looks absolutely amazing, I've always wanted a British car ,and it looks like we're finally getting one :)

    Why would you ignore him? he's trying to educate you. What makes you think people care if you ignore them? If you actually listen to what people say then you'll get further on these forums. Simple.
