    Hello everyone, how are you?

    I'd like to share with everyone in the group the progress of my first completely lore-friendly car mod. It will be free when finished!

    I present to you

    Gniar's Special Works - Tornado

    - A muscle car from the 70s and 80s with two generations of facelifts, built by Gniar's Special Works in fiberglass using Gravill mechanics and chassis, but with a completely new, more luxurious, exclusive, and sporty body.

    Basic Lore History of the Gniar Special Works brand within the BeamNG.drive universe:

    - In the BeamNG.drive universe, Gniar's Special Works is synonymous with exclusivity and luxury. Founded by a visionary with a passion for cars, the brand emerged with the goal of transforming established chassis and mechanics into true works of art on wheels. Using high-quality fiberglass and carbon fiber, Gniar's Special Works cars are designed for those seeking exceptional performance combined with a sophisticated and unique design. Each vehicle is a unique piece, tailor-made for those who want to stand out on the roads of the BNG universe.

    Car Showroom:









    It's a work in progress and there's still a lot to be done. The Moonhawk's interior is temporary; it will have its own interior.

    Stay tuned for updates.

    Thank you very much.

    Cheers.

    That is a very beautiful design, it looks quite European from some angles. I am looking forward to this!

    Looks pretty good. Though I see a lot of original Dodge Charger in its design.

    Daily progress on my first lore-friendly car mod.

    Added Gniar's Specials - "Super Six" a Race Based DOHC Inline 6 366cui (6 Liters) Mechanical Fuel Injection Engine.
    Handcrafted in small quantities for the sportier and more luxurious versions of the Gniar's Tornado and other Gniar's Special Works vehicles.

    History of the Gniar's Special Works brand in the BeamNG.drive universe:

    The history of Gniar's Special Works begins between the 1920s and 1930s, in a small town renowned for its artisanal traditions.
    The founding family, skilled craftsmen, harbored a secret passion for cars, although they initially did not produce them.
    The founder, a visionary, created a secret and exclusive car in the 1930s, a vehicle known to few, which began to build the family's reputation.
    Over the years, this passion for automobiles evolved into a business, and Gniar's began to professionalize.
    Between the 1950s and 1980s, the brand gained notoriety and became synonymous with luxury and exclusivity, specializing in creating custom bodies for renowned chassis.
    Today, Gniar's Special Works continues this family tradition, combining craftsmanship, innovation, and exclusivity in each creation.











    Stay tuned for updates.

    Pretty cool and interesting first car mod you're making here! One thing that I noticed however is that the interior seems to be copied from the Bruckell Moonhawk. Are you intending on making a custom interior for it in the future? It's fine if you're not, I'm asking just out of curiosity.

    For a first car mod, this looks really cool! It reminds me of so many muscle cars from the 60s and the 70s! :D
    One question, will it have 8 km/h (5 mph) bumpers and side markers?

    Isn't a 6 liter straight six a tad massive even for american car standards (especially wouldn't the DOHC head be absurdly bulky and possibly too tall? Assuming flatheads from the 20s were already massive at that size, a twin cam would surely be too much?)

    I think it should be an aftermarket engine swap. A 3.0-litre inline-6 would be a better factory option.

    To me, it looks like it's got elements of four generations of classic Mopar muscle, across two platforms and nameplates. I'm seeing bits of both the first and second generation Dodge Charger and the first and second generation Plymouth Barracuda in this.

    não é relacionado a thread, mas vou falar aqui mesmo. o problema não é você fazer mod pago, o problema é que os seus mods não são bons, e ainda são pagos, cada mod seu tá cada vez melhor, mas na minha opinião, por enquanto você devia deixar tudo de graça, dar um remake nos mods seus e dai colocar eles pagos
