The Complete Guide for making a Mod Car for NFS III
Description
Back in middle school, I used to have so much fun downloading all the cars you guys made. I always wanted to know how to make a car myself, but never had the patience back then to sit down and figure it out until 2019 when I was determined to learn the entire process. I ended up using the car I own in real life so that I could have 24/7 access to taking any measurements I desired.
What frustrated me the most about learning the process was how scattered the information was across the internet. As well as all the broken links that could have been so useful. So, I decided to document everything I could find that was useful to me into a single PDF document with the intention that you would not need to spend so much time searching the internet for answers like I did. I had only modeled this one car at the time this document was written, but I spent over 1000 hours modeling and learning the entire process inside and out for the last 2 years.
I've written this document with the idea that the reader would have everything they needed. Even explanations on the most basic concepts such as "What is a polygon?". You can imagine that a tutorial written this way would have a lot of "fluff" information that most users would probably already know. For that reason, I have highlighted text in red to direct users to the information that gets straight to the point.
Writing this document alone took me over 150 hours. This is my way of giving back to the community that really helped me develop a love for this video game series. For the veterans out there, please don't hesitate to give suggestions for making changes to this guide.
Credits are given at the end of the document. I would also like to thank my brother and Anthony (a good friend of mine) for taking the time to peer review this document.

Haven't commented on this since I've been caught up with stuff, but it's neat to see someone putting up the work to deliver a rather detailed car modding tutorial.
However, there are a couple of things you might want to correct (coming from someone who has experience modding NFSHS, which is rather similar to NFS3):
-You don't need to import another car to get its dummies; you can create cubes in zmodeler and name them "Dummy:<dummy name>"
-Your modelling method... is not really approachable for a beginner, let alone because you didn't go all the way on explaining. I would recommend linking the ZMod1's car modelling tutorial instead: Link
-There's no need to use an aux cable for sound recording; in Audacity you can use Windows WASAPI as Audio host in order to record sounds: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html
-The font present in menu titles and slides is called Earth
