updates, and teaser pics....
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 9:00 AM
I got some updates for you guys, I primed the car the other night with a product thats called z chrome, its very very expensive, but I would highly recommend it for anybody that is doing panels that need to be streight, its basicaly sprayable bondo. Its made to block down and fill, I will have to prime the whole car again once I sand this down.

This was the BC2 kit, I molded the hole in the back bumper just to change the kit a little bit and it fits with the theme of the car-



This picture shows how i rounded the top so that their's not a sharp line


I molded the fenders to the front bumper, looks so much cleaner-


Side skirts are molded flesh now with the body, plus I filled the holes in the sides.....


fits 3 12"s (all new audio equipment was bought, went with the brand Hifonics) and they sit in their countersunk----






lovin this look--





trunk and spoiler is molded....


and yes the color is changing... heres a teaser...... house of kolor......

Wow, this car has really come a long way. I'm very impressed.
Are you planning to shave the firewall and clean the engine bay up as well?

i like some of the changes (filled in holes in the kit, front bumper molded, etc) but i have to ask-how will you change your tail light bulbs if you need to? i see the big hole behind the subs, but it doesn't look like you'd be able to reach them from it. overall, looks very nice. very simple and clean and i'm really curious what the new color will be.

It looks like you carved it outa clay now .

Man this is pimp. I've been in a toss up lately. Do I keep my car, do I sell it, do I mod it still...Seeing your work makes me want to start on another car myself. I miss doing the work.

Keep it up Mike. She's looking great.

BTW. where are you mounting gauges? You have the cyberdine ones right?

LOL. that thing looks exactly like the clay models used by car manufacturers to create the molds/tooling from.

Looks great man. I'm not sure about some of your ideas, but your skill has come a long way, and it's impressive. I'm sure the car will look killer with paint and back together.

thanks for the comments, i forgot to mention the seats are at the upholstry shop getting done now as we speak.

big poppa-, i know exactly whats running through your head, im the same way you are..... your car inspired me to fuc* my car up and re-do it, so i blame that on you... your costing me a fortune lmao. so do me a favor dont change your car because you will make me re-do my car. As bad as it sounds i think i enjoy working on the car more than i do driving it and taking it to shows. I like to push myself to get better each project i do. As far as gauges..... im going to leave it with out any as far as now since it will be a show car, and later down the road im going to make a panel that sits Flush lol with the dashand wrapped in fabric that will house the gauges.

and as far as weight i have no idea............ looking for a supercharger to put in their to help make it move lol

Why not make a portable gauge cluster that just suctions into place? Just a thought....might save you some money that way.

Why not step it up a few notches with a V6 swap. You've already gone to the extreme in body mod, why not get the engine going for the extreme too? Although, SCed I4 vs cost of V6 swap....?

I know its a show only car.. but does it see any street use? If so.. I'd be very worried about cracking. Shaving the front is dead sexy, but as I have done on my car.. shaving the front I've already noticed slight stress seams.. Its the ultimate in shave work for sure, but I love driving the @!#$ out of whatever I build.. so lets see how long shave work can last on a daily. Haha
