I know where the engine JBEAMs and wheel JBEAMs are for each vehicle, but where are the actual meshes and textures themselves? I'm taking a different approach to vehicle modding. I've never done a vehicle but really can't be bothered to read the entire wiki. I'm a practical person. I learn by doing. I've decided to base my first vehicle off of the etk800 chassis, hoping to use most of the drivetrain components. Only changing the aesthetics of the car and making the wheelbase longer and wider (yes, it's a big fat sedan). I also hope to make my own wheels for the car. I'd like to use current wheels as a reference. That's how I roll. I look how something's already done and then copy exactly that with my own tweaks. I just need the file location for the engine and wheel meshes/ textures. TL;DR: I need the file location for engine/ wheel meshes and textures. Working on my first mod and need reference models. Note: I do plan to look at the wiki when i encounter a problem or hurdle. I'll try to do most by looking at how the etk800 is made. It has the most suitable drivetrain. Though I do hope to make mine electric with a Tesla like drivetrain.
3D models, textures, jbeams for wheels are all stored in the common archive in your /content/vehicles/ folder. In the case of the ETK 800 Series, engine is also in the same archive, since it's shared with the K Series.
