HYPETODAY // DTM MEETS JDM - The #W6666 project

[Earl]

I really meant to bump this one. lol I want to know what ever happened to this project too=/ Hoping that he gets the emails saying someone commented in his thread so that he can come on here and tell us what is or isn't going on

Earl replied on the wrong HYPETODAY thread I think...

gibsch a bissle gas, ge this has so much potential

painters tape doesnt hold on foam. we want to create a perfect surface as possible now to have less work on the final mold!



some 3d shots: http://seene.co/u/markusbruhn/ i love this app!

Wow looks great! Why not use painters tape or aluminum insulation tape, then lay fiberglass?

[hypetoday]

yes! and thank you, buddy.

because then we could not easily test different shapes. also merge different rounding roundings together would be rather difficult.

Ahhh I understand now, You're seeing what is aesthetically pleasing to the you before final casting of any molds are made. I respect that route also.

Why not sheet metal fabrication instead ? seems like a lot more work to do the foam method

merry x-mas, happy new year, happy something and happy shut the fuck up. after all this stuff and an infection of my jaw we war back with some updates.

after mor shaping we tried out the first filler. it really fucked up the foam - so this was one-way street. there you see why.



so we tried out some plaster. okay for the start but not good enough for sanding.







here you can see the different test to get the lines in shape.



however, we were too wide at the end. we had already 10 centimeters track plates under the rim. so we were already wider than the side mirror. when you consider that the rb gt86 kits are "only" 4-6 centimeters wider... in addition it has a further problem: the farther the wheel is outside, the farther it moves forward and backward when steering. so we decide to reduce it a bit. then we got another filler who works perfect for us. smurf sperm.







in the next xs mag (www.facebook.com/xsmag) is an article about the coming up season 2014 in germany where the widebody will be featured - so we take some pictures for it. all mags for free online: http://issuu.com/ristaumedia!

Yeah, that's the Lorinser kit I was talking about. The AMG ducktail won't give you that JDM style lift you are looking for,but that style is sweet. Check out the ends on a Ronal MK1 Jetta heckspoiler for an idea if you're going to stay one piece. The curvature would work well and it wouldn't touch the paint.

something like this was on my mind... because i prefer 1-piece. we will see.

i just googled the lorinser s-class (do you mean the w219?), saw it for the first time. yes, everything should be bolt-on, also the wing. at first we started with a 3-piece idea, now we think about 1-piece without the small caps on the side fenders. do you know the amg wing for the w124 trunks? i love it, so we also thinking about a 3-piece solution. it's a progress, so i can't say anything about the final version.

thanks for your interest!
