You may have already gotten many responses, but here's mine anyway. First
of all, don't mess with your original car set. Load up your nascar game
and then exit from it to dos. You should have the nascar directory
prompt. Think up a name for your new car set. Any name will do, but
let's use "cars95" for this example. Type "paintkit cars95". It will
tell you that this car set does not exist & ask you if you want to create
it. Type "y". It will ask you one more question. Type "y" again. Then
your computer will click away for a couple of minutes as it creates this
new car set. Actually its just copying the original set. Once it's done
it will put you into the paintkit for the new set. You'll notice that it
is exactly the same as the original set, but this set you can change. To
put new cars into it that you have you'll need to go into windows to your
nascar directory. In that directory you'll see a bunch of .pcx files.
Those are all of the cars. If you have a viewer that will show you these
files it will help, but you don't need one. Look at the names of some of
the .pcx files and then change your new car files to those same names. if
they're already in your nascar directory then you'll have to delete each
car file before you rename your new one to that same name. Remember the
name before you delete it. Write it down & only do ONE AT A TIME. After
your new cars have been changed to the new names your almost done. Here's
an example: You downloaded a good skoal car, and you want to use it
instead of the skoal car that came with your set. In the nascar directory
you'll see a car named skoa_1.pcx. That is Rick Mast's car. Delete that
file and then rename your skoal car to skoa_1.pcx. Then put that file
into your nascar direstory if it isn't already there. Once your done go
back into "paintkit cars 95" through dos. Once your in paintkit go
through the cars until you reach one that you wanted to change. It will
still show you the old car so go ahead a click on "select". Then click on
"import". There you go! The new car should be there now. REMEBER to
save it before you move on to another car. Otherwise it will not be there
when you go back. You can always import it again though. Good luck!
