<<< original thread over @ SRD (thank you archive.org for somehow having a copy of it! >>>
So, I know several of you have been wondering what's up with this set since my last 'official' post on it back in 2018 on SRD. Well, LIFE and 2020...., but let's not get into that $*(#^!#$*%#.
Anyways, I've still been slowly chipping away on the set doing minor things here and there from decals to numbers to even more research and even some 'template' work. All for cars on '1024x1024' templates, which were considered 'HR' back in the day, lol. However, please don't ask about 2048x2048 versions, ain't happening unless reasonable templates show up for the 'default' Cup mod that pass my scrutiny for this project. Even if that happens, cars on higher-res templates will be made on a case-by-case decision.
All posts will reference the changes since the original releases of each car back in the day as well. And please, if you notice anything off in the renders of the cars, don't hesitate to mention it. I've been know to sometimes miss stuff, and I appreciate people posting about it so I can correct it. For example, one of those mistakes originally was having the wrong outline color around the roof number on the #19. Can't believe nobody called me out on that back in the past and it took me till 2013 to notice said error.
Alright, I think that's enough chat for now. I'll start showing off some of the overhauled 9/11 cars here in this thread (and maybe some other stuff in the future, who knows) that are pretty much ready for release soon.

Here is where I'll put all of the mass credits that will be universal over all the cars posted in this thread unless noted in an individual post for my 9/11 set:
Templates:
Pontiac: Jason_RSC's template with a few custom modifications
Chevy: From TFR (at least I think it was from there) with some custom modifications
Ford: Original BS template
Dodge: Original BS template, but the front-end heavily modified by me to convert it from a 2003 Dodge into a 2001/2002 Dodge with his permission (originally posted @ Masgrafx Racing, last publicly released revision: v3 ).
Logos:

and many more that I can't remember unfortunately (this set has been going on for ~20 years, lol), but I do appreciate the help in the past.
Renders:
Done by myself, using a modified scene from 'SMK-CTJP' (I customized it over 10 years ago, forgive me since I don't remember the original site it came from, just the file name part that was left intact, lol).
