![]() I have to reach level 30 before I can unlock that stuff and I'm at 16 as of now. Until then I do everything I can to turn a car. I will be glad when I get my shop upgraded so I can paint and remove body rust off these cars. I'm now working on a Cobra clone but before I even start that I'm calling it a night. I finished the "El Camino" (called Atlantic in game) and did a Pinto look-a-like full blown. Those guys don't seem to like MOPAR stuff. I've seen old Ford trucks, a Plymouth Fury, but mostly old Ford trucks. They find these abandoned vehicles and try to get them going again usually without buying any parts. There's another two guys on YouTube who each have their own channels but sometimes collaborate. But it's nice to see him doing those projects for himself once in a while. The "Car Wizard" actually runs a shop, and that's his business. Set up a bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom in one corner and leave the rest wide open for fun and projects! One day, when I'm rich I suppose. I've often said I would love to buy one of the many abandoned failed grocery stores around here. As soon as I get close my energy level just hits rock bottom without warning. I always thought those cars were just cool to look at. ![]() I would love to find an El Camino abandoned and try to get it running again. Computer boots up, sounds and all, but no video signal. I'm going to see about getting it replaced or my money back. I had a GT 730 with 4 GB of VRAM but haven't had it a month and the thing stopped working. I'll have to see about finding a replacement fan soon. The only issue I've had is I heard a loud noise come from the computer and when I went to investigate I discovered one of the graphic card's fan blades had came off. CMS 2018 says it requires 2 GB of VRAM but it runs really good on the GTX 460. One game in my library says it needs a GPU with 4 GB of VRAM yet it runs on a card with under 1 GB of VRAM. I'm discovering that game requirements are not 100% accurate. It's a fun game and works well with the GTX 460. Hopefully, you'll be back to 100% health soon. And certainly a lot easier on the real wallet than really restoring an old car. That actually looks like a lot of fun to me. Rebuilding these is relaxing, I don't run out of parts, paint, or glue, and I never know what I'm going to find in those barns and at the junk yard. It's hard to find plastic models in my area and even harder to find an El Camino running around. Sorry for the lengthy post but I wanted to share these pics. I found this one in a junk yard for under $4,000. The one above is to show how random the game generates these cars. This is one car in the game I wish was real. ![]() I know I could use the $40,000 in-game cash and possible hope to see another one like it but I'm not risking it.this one stays with me. I know this is not the real thing but cars and how they are presented in the game come randomly. Car is now worth about $40,000 as it now sits. I had ~$13,000 to rebuild it with, ignoring customer calls completely. I spent $15,000 on this car as it sat in a barn. Yes, I have driven the car around the test track and race track in the game and, WOW.normally the idea is to fix up cars and sell them (with the exception of customer orders of course). Unfortunately my shop funds are low now and is not yet equipped to handle body rust and painting. I'd get up for a few minutes and work on this to help. I have spent over a month rebuilding this car playing it when ever I had a bit of energy or those times I had where I couldn't sleep well. The tires you see are exact replacements to what the car came with which I thought were a bit wide but they are 215/70 15". Where I could put high performance parts I did including the transmission. ![]() The engine is a 6 cylinder pushing almost 300 HP with the addition of high performance parts.Įverything you see here had to either be rebuilt or replaced. The rear portion of the car is still in its original color (silver) and where it's black is where new body parts have been replaced. This is the game's version of a Chevy El Camino.a car I would very much love to own. I thought I would share pics of what I've done so far. So I found a new hobby: rebuild a car.virtually. Just before Christmas I started to feel a bit better but couldn't do much without tiring out easily.
