Fourth Time's the Charm - Another Air Hatch

put the number 1 since you are the first

my bum ass ain't afford real door vinyls so I'm drafting up my own that'll be as large as a piece of computer paper, not too shabby I suppose consider the price of free. Not sure what to put in the middle, not going to use any jdm livery as those groups take that stuff seriously.

you got my attention

[Dremetos]

Decided to stray away from the rust / chalboard paint idea. Didn't go very far with it so it's all easily reversible. Looking at the aero garbage I've thrown at the car and the "style" (I dislike that word) I've steered this build toward, rat style just makes absolutely no sense for this car.

5-point harnesses, fixed-back bucket seats, half cage, battery in the cabin, big dumb wing, cut fenders, flares, light weight racing-orientated wheels (ovals), boost, lips, fully gutted interior, carbon fiber (I got the hood back lol) bla bla bla, this car isn't really a rat, I've always kind of wanted it to come out looking like a Kanjo car, I just never put the idea to paper intentionally, it all kind of just manifested in all the parts I grabbed for it.

With that said, I'm going to shoot for the Kanjo / Japanese street scene aesthetic as it just seems to make sense. Going to be drafting up some graphics and a paint scheme. Thinking of going with a Rustoleum knock off of the classic Honda Type-R (Pheonix) yellow, or just a gloss white, maybe some combination of the two.

Here are some visual ideas to give the European car guys an idea of what I'm shooting for lol. Car is still going to air out flat and hit the ground, I did some more notching and test fits look very promising, car will be lower this year than ever before.

pls dont rust it.

It would be so cool painted

It wouldn't be cool either way.


But you're having fun with it and that's all that matters

[E.Myers]

^ agreed would love to see this with a decent paint job

[SnazzyQ]

[kittenpuncher]

This thing would look nice painted.

IMO
Rust > chalkboard paint (all the ricey eBay mod kids in my neck of the woods do it)

please dont rust too much of it, rather chalkboard paint than rust on the entire body

[Imaeechew]

If I can remember correctly you can mix vinegar and water and spray it on bare metal to help it rust. Grind/sand the metal to a clean bare surface and use a spray bottle and just cover it.

Are you doing the Jap-rod style now?

[Clint_McMIllan_95]

ive never hoped to see a car implode and disappear more than this shit pile

Got my momo-wiper all situated, got my front flares mounted. Have GIVEN UP on paint. Half the car is chalkboard paint, I've started intentionally rusting parts of it, it's a mess. I got a new front bumper and have been doing little things here and there. Mocked up the front with my flares and ran into a small issue ....



i need some gat-daym spacerzzzzz

Front goes quite low now, much lower than last year. It's going to clap out flat tucking on all 4 corners which I'm super pumped about. Updates as they come.
