Slip's Showroom (.....of DOOOOOM!)

If it is any help...

"Chevy SS" is the Holden Commodore SS VF. Back in 2004, Holden was building the VY Commodore.

We have a template which has the front end of that in:

SXR UTE. Holden

Here is the Holden Template for the SXR UTE. alpha mod from https://bronte.homeip.net/ There are that will show up in game.

Our resident scholar martinrace made this. It is excellent.

You can probably smith this to your heart's content, to get a contemporary 2004 SS.

I was referring to the "Super Speedway" build of the cars that were being used in the 2000's (which had a different shaped nose meant for better drafting), not the "Chevrolet SS/Holden Commodore SS" (both very cool cars, BTW). Thank you though!

Sa'right

I was wondering about that myself, but I haven't played with the mod yet so I wasn't sure what could and could not be done. I remember back in the days of SBR there used to be templates that gave the illusion of a SS body on a standard model, can something be done to that effect to help the realism aspect you are going for?

You've read my mind, Kemosabe (I still have all the superspeedway templates from SBR in my team files, heh).

It'll take a little work to move the headlights up and get them to line up across the two template panels but I think it can be done. The issue is going to lay with the recessed area they built into the upper grill area. I'd obviously need to move the grille up with the headlights - but that recessed notch won't be going anywhere.

I did that car back in June 2014 though it's a different version than the one from the open.

Sweetness, Man! Nice job! I'm currently watching the race on YouTube trying to get better pictures than just the diecast.

 

[Slipster17]

Ok, this is officially my most favorit-ist car I've everz painted. Why? Cus' I get to draw POWER-F-ING-RANGERS TURBO on the c-pillar, that's why!

 

[Slipster17]

Who wore it better? Ernie Irvan in the classic 1997 colors....... or Kenny Irwin in the 1997 Japanese exhibition race flying the Asian Market Caltex colors?

 

[RacerMoon]

I'm a bit biased but the Caltex one wore it better

Slipster you have been doing an amazing job lad! Amazing! (Extra points if you know what movie that was unintentionally quoted from)
Really happy to see someone else out there paint up the old NERF car and you did a fantastic job. I'm really enjoying seeing your work.

 

[Steven Merzlak]

This stuff looks amazing! I might have to dig out and polish up those SABCO cars I did.

Nope! I know a lot of random movie quotes but that one is beyond me, lol

Thanks - I only intended this to be a short little 1997 project but I seem to be inexorably digging myself deeper and deeper! I really need to set some criteria for myself and start releasing these in like 10 or 20 car sets so it doesn't take me a year or more to release these cars for download.

The problem is I originally set out to do 2 schemes for each car # from '97. But then I'm looking at the #5 thinking, man - he only had 3 different schemes throughout the year and the 'Spooky' car was SUPER cool.... so I can do 3 cars for him.... Or I'm looking at the #3 thinking, man - all of his schemes are literally just different colors with a logo switched up here and there - stupid easy to just do all 4 of those..... Or I watch the Suzuka race and think, man - I've NEVER seen that car done!

So yeah, the amount of work just kind of snowballs!

Thanks Steve! And you're still under no time deadline - Lord knows I keep destroying my own checkpoints lol. You're work that you've shown me so far looked great and I appreciate your help with some of these. Although I might get too itchy and do Mark Martin's Suzuka paint scheme myself, lmao.

 

[Slipster17]

Adding another one to my list that I didn't intend to do at the start! GI-Joe makes a Kenny Irwin hat-trick!

The random start of a carset WITHIN A carset......

Looks great, Slip!

I'm still geeking out about those Kenny Irwin cars you did
