This Mod swaps the 1965 Mustang with The hidden in files 1932 Hotrod found in files recommended by AntiLoser.
Why do this:
To see if i could.
Never was much to do for anything with that mustang and wanted a car unique but not someone elses work.
Update: Hotrod 1932 Final
now 4 different bodystyles for 4 skirts(mustang had limited options so i Improvised)
1: Ragtop
2:Hardtop
3:Gangster style wagon
4:Truck
now 2 working trunk lids to work on both cars(gangster style has its own and so does truck)
Now 2 different fender style options on front and rear with 1 removable on both(front required to remove for certain exhaust)
NFS Heat cars dont have a suspension, its just hidden by body parts so you don't know. The hotrod has a visual and real required suspension as it was la car from previous game left in the files. So to improvise i attatched the suspension to all 3 fenders which are constant. The 3rd simply removes the fenders and leaves the suspension.
Next, there are no spoilers because in NFS Heat you have to sacrifice one part for another. So say i swapped a spoiler for a mirror base, when you equip your spoiler the mirror would dissapear. I went for the better of the 2 and left well enough alone.
Cars use the default front and rear bumper and the truck has custom bumper including the bumper, trunk lid and tailgate and custom mirrors(not all mirrors fit all bodystyles so i left the 2 that fit both cars and put the ones on the truck that fit). Every mirror set has different widths on the hotrod so say on the truck they sit fine, but on the car you can see a gap(i tried adding a mirror base and didnt work).
As before stated, since swapping the car reference, the hotrod uses a custom hotrod engine(tried swapping it to the mustang starter engine and game crashed). So on new game it shows as 129 as usual, unbeknown you are starting with a car thats 220 plus after putting nos in lucas garage(not my fault it has good engine). I warn after putting high end parts under it to tune the exhaust and turn down the overun or it sound highly off.
As usual, all works perfectly in story mode as car is recognized by the cops as the 65 mustang, so no game crashes when police chase starts.
I love the car and the 4 bodystyles and was best i could do swapping a mustang you cant do much with(personal opinion).
Here is how car now looks on fresh game with my custom tires mod here on nexus(exact color and bodystyle lucas gives you).
Overview:
Works perfectly in story mode (still recognized as the 65 mustang)
Works perfectly at night as far as police chases don't crash the game (took a little digging to fix that)
Still uses the engine and tuning as far as ride height, suspension and all schematics the way the car was designed (means it no longer uses the basic setup they gave you for the mustang as far as starter engine and such). start a new game and car registers over 220+ out of the garage (didn't notice this until after testing realizing it was using the Hotrod engine and so forth during primary race against dex.
No need to turn off motion blur as i fixed the damage file and the camera view as far as bumper, cockpit, hood and so forth.
Customizing:
No bumpers or spoilers or splitters as the car wasn't designed for any ( had plenty of frustration just getting all parts to work.
Skirts change the bodystyle and bumpers and trunk lids (sorry trunk lids don't work since they are part of the body and was only 2 slots for trunk lids on the mustang and i needed 4).
3 Hood styles to choose from (2 choices needed for next reasons)
All exhausts work ( some require you to use specific 2 choices of hoods and a particular front fender that removes the fenders so the exhaust doesn't go through your fenders(might look a little odd don't you think?)
Drawback is there is no spot for suspension on the cars in heat and was necessary for hotrod so i attatched them to the fenders(you have fenders by default regardlees if it removes the third choice but not the suspension)
I recommend starting new game where you never had the mustang or purchased certain speedhunters parts so the car shows up correctly (back up your save of course). took me long time to get the only trunk lid to fit the convertible ragtop version of the car.
Any questions or comments welcome and if any issues please let me know to fix them.
Mod was created on Steam EA Desktop so not sure if the file orders are same on origin platform (file path fix in frosty should fix that but this car was extremely testy).
This is my first car mod as far as swap or design so go easy on me lol.
