Modeling Software

Not sure if there is, but I thought I would ask. Does anyone know of any software that would allow me to customize my truck before I actually do it?

Turn off the lights in some quiet room. Lay back in your Barcalounger, or maybe your bed. Envision what is is you want to do. Now, take a screenshot in your mind, eh? Now, do that repeatedly, over and over, till you finally say “ Pizz on it, I’l drive it as is and save a bunch of money”.

Good man . . . You really asking us dinosaurs a question like that?😆

I use a "free" photoshop program, which is nice because you can start by altering a photo/photos you already have or will take. If you wanna go next level, Adobe has an Illustrator that let's you start from the ground up. It's easy to go down the rabbit hole with this software.

If you have a good side view -ish photo I would be happy to drop whatever wheels/tires you are thinking of in there for you. I've been using Photoshop for 30 years.... Hit me up.
