    There is no way that anyone could make a video showing how to mod a vehicle.

    If nothing is helping, show what part you're stuck at and ask people for help.
    the info json and creating a simple vehicle mesh is pretty simple, but jbeaming is usually what tips people off

    making an entire vehicle is a terrible way to start. try downloading blender and goofing around in it for a bit, making simple models like bumpers and wings and stuff

    From my experience you can't find any online models that are both free and good to use in BeamNG, making a model like this takes months. Better make just a few aftermarket parts or something instead of a whole car, they will be infinitely easier to model yourself.

    Try starting out with something mores simple. In the wiki, the model that the author uses is a simple design. A somewhat similar design would be a good way to start.

    Go with 3ds, I hear that it's easier for beginners to use. P.S Start off with a really basic design, quite literally a BOX car with basic ass fenders. Use it as a test toy before creating something full on, like an entire BMW Imo

    Then modeling isn't probably for you if you're giving up so quickly

    I need some help with simply uploading a mod, specifically an Automation one, because I've been looking everywhere in the Documents>Beamng.Drive folder and I can't find where the vehicles are. Plus, my mods folder is empty so that's wonderful.
