    The quality and precision of your vision is what I one day hope to achieve.
    Just amazing.

    Are you going to leave the quarter panels carbon fiber? I won't post a picture here, but if you google image search "Lexus IS Aimgain kit" you will see a VIP style kit that has a carbon fiber quarter panel, that in my opinion, looks awesome. Aggressive and classy.
    Can't wait to see what else you do.

    I've seen stuff like this done in person and it's amazing how easy people who know what theyre doing make it look and how incredibly hard it is to actually do. When I was ~12-13 years old I watched my dad build two quarter panels for my grandfathers 65 gto vert, this was before they made replacement panels. I watched him measure and weld and measure and weld and shape and fit and he made it seem so easy. Now that I'm 26 and have been been in the industry for a while I can put it in perspective of how skilled you need to be.

    This is really really good craftsmanship. I always loved when fabricators do countless hours of work to make this amazing car but at the same time it looks as if it could be stock. Like if someone who has zero idea of what a TT is looks at it they'd just go oh it's low with big wheels.

    The grid was created by taking measurements from key unchanged parts of the body. I simply have to take the same measurements on the other side. It actually doesn't even need to be as thoroughly marked. My contour gauge is 15" long, so if my end point falls on the same point as the grid, I now have checked the entire contour of the opposing grid line on the mirrored panel.
    Sounds easier than it must be, I thought you were going to use some mad 3d software or something

    I have rough shaped the passenger side, and taken over 30 key measurements. Tomorrow I will basically be playing "sanding by numbers". haha Nothing picture worthy today, but I should have a decent update soon.

    a whole lot of ass!

    It was. haha I wasn't satisfied. I couldn't use any "off the shelf" wheels as it was, so I figured I should make the best of my custom setup. It will be the only one in the world like this! That has me smiling.
