How to create help

[mohawk]

Hello all o/
Ive been a modder for several other games in the past & have just recently discovered my favorite driving game can be as well.

Tools I use are 3ds max & paint shop pro (have photoshop)

My questions are, what tools/plug-ins are required?
Do ya have to create a truck from scratch? or could I simply mod a stock truck? (to look like my Grandpas old Pete)

so far all Ive found was the how to install threads

any help/advise would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Warren
