The level of work put into this car is amazing! Keep it up man looks great

Your welds have improved incredibly, and it appears to be saving you a lot of time. For some reason I love watching bare metal being massaged into shape. Keep it up!

[CubbyChowder]

Thanks dudes!

Your rear fenders look so good. They almost appear factory.

You do some very nice work. Definitely looking forward to seeing it all put together.

You are doing a great job on this, seriously one of my favorite builds on SW.

this is awesome! I actually just got my flares and some more por15 in today so next week I actually start the actual fun part of my project haha

btw the extra little bit you left on the flare for the overlap, do you trim that off after its all welded up?


edit- actually now that i think of it, that little overlap would sit in between the two fender skins correct me if im wrong here

God dammit, I want a 2002!! Loving this build! I've only gone through a few pages, but I'm in love so far! Can't wait to see more!!!

Just read through this thread, and on a somewhat unrelated note, do you use CineStyle for your videos?
If do any colour grading in post production, it's way easier to work with files with the CineStyle LUT. Also, it eliminates the rank in-camera sharpening.
Sick car, good work, glad you're being thorough!

Epic build!

To be able to do this at your age is ridiculous. No telling what kind of body man you will be in the future.
