What a fun and crazy looking car.
I like it. Should be great to drive around some of these historic tracks that are being released for AC.
Good luck and have fun with the build.

Thanks. Hopefully I'll get it to a stage where it's releasable, grappling with textures right now and there's a few modelling bits not quite finished. Don't know if you remember the cartoon Wacky Races but these strange old cars always bring that to mind

Someone build this please:

Someone build this please:

Duncan's got a pair of brass ones...if I'm not mistaken he actually raced that thing at the revival or a member's meeting recently. I like his GN as well.

Always wanted to, not sure what I’d do with the chain drive and solid front axle though.

 

[RaceMan763]

The record in that thing is over 200 kph. I'd **** myself.

Edit: Really, that word is filtered? I defecate myself laughing.

I started in on a Type 35 a few weeks ago and the solid axle thing has got me scratching my head a bit.

Yeah its why I’m not gonna bother, got dozens of ofher half done projects that can be completed with the current physics, no point starting one that can’t.

Spent days watching my model boing about the pit-lane trying to work that out, there's a thread here that explains it a bit https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/live-axle.138789/ As I understand it, for the front suspension you just have to compromise with wishbones or struts, which is a shame but I guess the AC engine wasn't really built with vintage cars in mind.

So I was wondering...

Do any of y'all know a solution for a car bouncing at low speeds? I've been trying to put together a physics update for one of the old NASCAR mods out there, but it's REALLY bouncy at low speed and I can't figure out why. At higher speeds, it's fairly stable for being what it is (live rear axle and insane hp) so I don't think it's the springs. Also, if you guys have any technical data about the Sprint Cup Gen6 cars (specifically suspension data, but any data would be helpful)that would be much appreciated.

Thank you for this.

Sainz done. Not too happy with some parts because of the different models (AC one and the real Schubert), but it doesn't look to bad, right? I will work on it again when I'll finish the entire pack.

Guys i'm working on an A1GP mod, but i've occurred in a problem, as you can see in the GIF. I've updated the tyres on the 3D model (very small changes) and when i saved the .kn5 file it started to show this problem. It happens in-game also.

Make sure the wheel/tyre model is properly centred to the Wheel/Suspension dummys.

Added some details to the frontend. Now have to finalize the Platebox and frame in the front bumper. Updates on the dashboard/interior probably presentable tomorrow. Slow progress but better than nothing

You will make me so happy if you get to properly finish this. So so so happy.

We‘ll get there.

I rewatched the movie to get some angles on the interior of the car and noticed something odd...

As far as I know this isn't a trim level that was offered in a 1974 Monaco.

Whereas this one is the base trim level, but they never offered a brown steering wheel in 1974.

I guess they mixed 74 and 75s depending on the angle, maybe the 75 car is a special camera cutaway one.

@Stereo you're on a mission from God.
