Exclusive content for my paying members!

I was pleasantly surprised to see a actual Volvo P1800 mod appear in a discord server this morning, and immediately decided that it was finally time to make this livery from the 1965 Sebring 12 hour race. Nick Cone, one of the drivers, had a near fatal accident after the Volvo's engine seized and a Cobra rammed the stalled car at full speed... With Nick underneath the front of the car.

"Nick Cone was interviewed by automotive historian Rick Hayden about the crash and he said: “One minute I’m under the car looking for damage and the car disappears before my eyes. Four hours later I wake up in the back of Dave Davis’ blue Cadillac with his pretty girlfriend looking at me!” According to Hayden, Cone was knocked cold by the impact, but was still wearing his helmet and didn’t have a mark on him." - Louis Galanos.

Now be aware, it's an EXMODS mod, so the mapping is quite... Interesting? It worked decently enough, thankfully the livery isn't complex. As far as drivability, I can't say. I'm bad at sim racing, only good at painting :P

Future plans for this livery are as follows:

Remove the bumpers
Replace rims (same ones Kulich did for the TCL Cortina)
Adjust shading accordingly to these new changes

Problem is, I'm hopeless at anything involving code. So if anyone's feeling happy enough to try their hand at these plans, feel free to go right ahead.
