3ds Max vehicle editing for legacy 3DS export

I need a 3D artist experienced with 3ds Max and legacy-compatible 3DS export to edit an existing car model and return fully working source files.

What I need:

• change the vehicle body color using the existing texture/material workflow,
• create and integrate cyan glowing lightband design based on reference image provided,
• make the glow look strong and clean using legacy-friendly materials and/or geometry-based methods, not modern renderer-dependent solutions,
• prepare everything so the model can be exported as a texture-preserving.3ds file for use in older visualization software.

Deliverables:

• edited.max source file,
• all required texture files.

Important requirements:

• textures must remain correctly linked after.3ds export,
• avoid unsupported modern material systems,
• experience with old/legacy 3DS pipeline limitations is preferred, such as short texture names, standard materials, and clean mesh/material setup. Budget: USD 10–30 Skills: 3D Rendering, 3ds Max, 3D Modelling, 3D Animation, 3D Design, 3D Visualization, 3D Graphic Design, 3D Art
