Heltom Fab Offroad Bluebuck (Gamblerbuck)

This mod was started on May 22, 2023. Together @BDR_Guy and myself have completed one of our favorite mods of all time! We truly hope you enjoy this one, and future modding challenge entries from us!
This is a heavily Gavril Bluebuck. A rust bucket of a car, a truly capable offroad machine!
We include 7 different configurations, from movie references to real life replica liveries, complementary wheel and tire included as well!

Originally started its life as a 1962 Gavril Bluebuck that the Heltom shop bought in the early 80s to turn it into a race truck. Originally built using most of the stock frame to race Class 6 (old sedan offroad racing class), then it slowly got built up to compete in Class8 (Full size truck). It was until the 90s when roads got too rough and technology got more advanced and the team deemed it not competitive anymore. After sitting in the shop for some years the car got sold to someone in Mexico where it got raced, rebuilt and beat on until the 2000s.
After that there's not much info of who owned the car, but there's rumors of the car racing in Australia for a couple years. But it was until 2010 when the Heltom Fab owners got word that the bare frame and suspension parts were found on property in the high desert, it didn't take much for them to acquire it and bring it back to their shop in Orange Country.
After this the parts were cleaned up with hopes of rebuilding it one day, but the shop simply never got around to it (around the same time they were developing a four seater pre-runner buggy). When in 2018, a relatively new employee noticed the car sitting outside in the lot and thought it was worth asking about it. Long story short, he got the frame and all the parts for free as long as he rebuilt it and got it running again. He noticed the car was setup to be driven one handed, this is why the steering coulomb is off center.
It took 5 years for him to get it up and running again, just in time for the HooptieX Mint400 event where he raced and DNF'ed due to a electrical issue. Since then the car has been used as a toy, driving it to desert trips and even to the sand dunes.
