    he changed it due to the old wbimp moonhawk revamp that would mess with the lore of this car.

    Not to mention, there are far too many facelifts for the Moonhawk already, so.

    decision time? should I didtch the old engines in favor of the legran/wendover blocks? (I will add a 5.0 v8 by modding the 4.4, should have 15% more baseline power, good to use in top spec models)

    I mean, up to you but the LeGran/Wendover engines are more suited for FWD applications

    I'm so sorry man, I didn't know this mod had existed when i started working on reviving the WBIMP moonhawk. I didn't mean to impede any of your work in any way. Again, i apologize heavily for any inconvenience i've caused you

    I'm excited for both. Moonhawk is awesome and we're going to get two different views of its future, I offer thanks to the creators of both mods.

    t is so slow it hurts, but does pull 23-21 mpg
    --- Post updated ---
    also the 4.4 v8 does pull a similar mileage, maybe the sweet spot is on the middle

    is that I am fastidious about NOT BEING SLOPPY, specially with materials, but trying to wprk around a crappy Skin map is negative amounts of fun

    smooth blinkers, the older version was driving me nuts with that old fashioned look
    --- Post updated ---
    I found out the rebadged moonhawk thing i was pointed here it also uses the original solid logo... (which to me it looks awfully out of place in a 1970s car

    New hubcaps, I really, REALLY dont like the current soliad logo, looks out of place on anything from the 70s and early 80s

    time to present a logo, I think this is FAR more appropriate for a car of the late 70s to early 80s
    --- Post updated ---
    it will be embossed in the interior, and will be present in badges, emblems and hubcaps
    --- Post updated ---
    I know it is mismatch. but it is a test after all
