i finally have both side symmetrical and started to fiberglass it.

 

im also finishing the front. i added more to the lip and it really brings out the front the way i wanted.

 

heres the latest pic so far

 

I'm still not done with the front I just paint it wile i work on the side of the car. This is a really big project for me or anyone and I have to change it up so I don't get bored and stop

 

hey let me know what your thoughts are about the exhaust tip??

first i made it out of card board

then i cut it out


then i start the bending


and last i used four rivets to hold it together


how does it look? its not the final i just quickly made this one up so i'll have something to put there.

 

This is a great build thread, not sure how I hadn't seen this before.

 

Well I was posting pics and I wasn't getting replies so I stopped for a wile

 

I wanted to know the same thing. So you hot glue styrofoam to the car and then shave it. Then you put fiberglass ove that? How does the fiberglass connect to the solid parts of the car so it doesn't fall off? Also, what is the blue tape for? I think that is tape, is it?

I think what you're doing is amazing and I am extremely impressed by all of your work. I can easily see you getting a job with an automotive design team in the future. Keep a portfolio of all the different iterations of your design and they will see how creative you are.

 

Yeah I use hot glue to stick it to the car shave it then I cover it in blue masking tape to protect the foam from the fiber glass, the foam isn't fiberglass safe. The body kit is held to the car on the edge of the foam. It's still a every good hold I mean I'm about 180lbs and I can sit on my front fender. (premade wide body kits are held on the same way)
Thanks for the comment. its been a **** load of work and I still have a lot to go.

 

What are your future plans for the car? Any engine/interior work? Looks like it could be a little lower
