build to drive

[calibornn1979]

Hell yes!

You've put some awesome work into this. The colour works so nice with the chrome trim pieces. The widebody build will be cool!

I've recently bought a compressor and spray gun with the dream of painting my own car, and reading your thread has got me really excited about doing it

Whoa that's gonna be bitchin. So how exactly does the wide body work? Will that rendering become a mold of some sort or will you be shaping it out of metal?

Moar!

Thanks guys. In preparing to get the car rolling again, I had to install 72mm extended studs to mount the wider wheels because of the thickness of the centers.


Also messed with some carbon and made these slip on headlight covers, not as functional in hawaii considering we don't have a track but i figured these would be a nice touch to a more aggressive look.



These are the first rough concept models i have so far and hopefully soon will become physical plugs.





They still need to be refined but this will be the general shape of the rears and the new duck tail spoiler. Thank you for the support!

Car is coming out absolutely beautifully. I'm stoked to see it with those wheels mounted!

Love your car man. Seat is a nice personal touch. I thought I was the only one who works on my car barefoot!

[FunfGang]

I am excited please continue.


Love the color and the fact that all of your cars are the same!

[hawaii911]

sorry for the lack of updates. Been extremely busy keeping my hands moving and improving my craft.
After my last update with the wide wheels, I had to send them to BBS America to get the centers inspected and fitted for proper hardware, because of how old they are. Great customer service on their side. In the mean time I had to catch up on side projects and getting my friends and I color matched.
Worst excuse of a booth, but made it work




Got a quick shoot done before the porsche is downed for fenders



Last night being able to drive the porsche for a while sucked because of the excess amount of cops lingering around, but no one got any tickets so we cant complain


Back to the wide body

225/45/15 Hankook Rs3 is the biggest street tire available, so this is what I will go with for now



quite satisfied with how they look on the car, I apologize for the phone quality pictures. More to come later as I continue designing the fenders. Thank you for the interest and support!
