This was originally a 1932 Ford body found at a free 3DO model website (no author was listed)

I original made a monster from it a few years ago, but this SMALL TIRES project took more time and came out better.

Much work was done to it to reduce it's vertix count to 1923 vert. total (not counting wheel/axle ,models).   I also 
removed my TAXI roof sign and "ZO TAXI CO." door graphics

 I  resized it to mtm2 dimensions, replaced many missing faces, created a new blown engine and reworded the exhaust

 The non-1932 headlights were created to hide the tops of the non-removable front shock struts, amd a non moving 
center differential was mounted to get the 2-wheel drive look.  Crager-style wire wheels with disc brakes shod on
 all four corners, and a custom WAV file was made and applied. The exhaust system now features engine mounting flanges
for a more realistic look.

A fan shroud was added to the radiiator. Animated textures were applied to the engine's belt, pulleys and radiator fan to
 simulate rotation. A distributor  with simulated spark plug wires created using transparent textures were fabbed
 and installed last, along with a pair of radiator hoses.  All lights are functional for dusk and night races.

For best results, use the SMALL TIRES converter pods or use an ST-converted track to get the tires on the ground (MTM2 only likes 6-foot tall tires).  It's available at http://mtm2.com/~bigdogge/small_tires.htm , along with other SMALL TIRES format vehicles.

Enjoy!
