    make your folder in mods\unpacked\new folder\vehicles\, copy a main jbeam file from an existing car and the default body/chassis part (e.g. pickup.jbeam and pickup_chassis.jbeam),
    name the folder in \vehicles, and the jbeam files to your chosen vehicle name.
    Then open the jbeam files, and replace every instance of "pickup" with your vehicle name.

    restart the game, and your vehicle should come up in the vehicle selector.
    spawn it, and press ctrl+B to bring up the beam debug, and you should see it.
