Spoiler: History With recent updates to BeamNG that introduced openable body panels and actual body-on-frame construction for the Gavril Grand Marshal, @mehio and I decided that the mod had to be remade from the ground up since it was starting to show its age. Many underlying issues couldn't be addressed properly without one. After a while of the revamp being released, @A12_Roadrurnner helped make huge contributions to the mod by overhauling the drivetrain to make the car drive more realistically and further distance it from being a simple Grand Marshal reskin.

The mesh is in the process of being reconverted from a higher-quality source because the mod's quality was very inconsistent. It's not finished yet since a lot needs to be done to have a lot of customisation in-game so you can mix and match parts from other model years to your heart's content.

Yes. I also plan on making the speedometer for the 1991-1993 LTZ/Police models digital like in real life since previously, they were analogue because I didn't know how to make a digital speedometer. --- Post updated --- If he did know about the old thread, I think it would still be valid to ask for progress pictures because the mod is going to be completely redone.
Yes, the size has been corrected. My assumption as to why the original mod was disproportionately large is that it was converted from an old GTA: San Andreas mod that used custom scaling to fit in with the rest of the cars or didn't follow the real-life scale of it because the modeller guessed the scale of it. Blender wasn't used commonly to make models for GTA: San Andreas mods back in 2011-2013, so it was probably made using the god-awful ZModeler2 or some other obscure, outdated, and bare-bones modelling software.
I don't have much progress to share for the past few days, but I've made a few jbeam adjustments and some parts were moved to the common folder because I have bigger plans for this mod.
I've been working on the interior as of late. The available interior colours are red, tan, light blue, dark blue, black, and grey. I've also added interior trim design options. The default interior trim is walnut wood; the optional ones are cherry wood, burlwood, matte black trim, and chrome trim. The dashboard picture above is used in 1991-1993 police models and top-of-the-line sporty LTZ models. Complete with a comprehensive gauge cluster, a working trip meter and odometer from the vanilla BeamNG vehicles, and a digital speedometer borrowed from the Wendover.
I might reuse the taxi roof signs and push bars from the old version, but everything else is getting completely redone.
Progress for the day: -Added 6-slot chrome hubcaps (Carryover from 1987-1990, lasted until 1993) -Added 32-Spider Spoke Aluminium wheels (Optional on Caprice, standard on Caprice Classic) -These wheels and hubcaps are all able to be used on other cars (like the Grand Marshal, for example) -Added Caprice LTZ bonnet badge (seen in the 2nd picture of the gray Caprice) -Added more seat designs Over the next few days, I plan on working on the 1993-1994 body, taillights, trim, and hubcaps.
