Nice....

 

I was looking over the pic and noticed that you went with the aftermarket HID headlights instade of the popup's. I'm not one to judge another mans project, but just curious why you didnt want to keep the stock popup look? Just gut feeling or like the solid light look better?[/QUOTE]

uh, pop ups? gross. j/k! naw, i prefer the sleek look. i love pop ups during the day

cuz they look mean and all when they're down, but i hate it at night when theyre

up. you gotta keep the body lines smooth at all times. whats missing in the pic

though are the headlight covers. dont want to scratch them up. they make my

headlights look 110% better.

 

Well done.

 

Looks very good. Do you have any pics from underneath that show how you mounted up the FD suspension? Front and rear please thanks.

 

The suspension is still the stock FB's.

 

I know a lot of people didn't like this idea at all in the other thread, but WOW...very impressed with your work.

I've actually been looking forward to this update!

 

More pictures man! Im loving it so far. Keep up the nice work

 

This one deserves 2 thumbs up.

 

we need more pics!

 

Yeah, I had my doubts on this one, still not my style but it looks like you got the problems worked out and it looks very well done. Did I understand correctly that you are going to do tail lights/rear end from a FD? I really can't support that one, you'll look like the kids that make their Civic look like a Skyline, it will just make everything too different. But whatever you do, keep up the good work.

 

I want to hug you. My favorite car (FB) crossed with my second favorite (FD).

 

I'm with him^^^^^

How did you solve your fender gap issues? IIRC, you had some nasty fender gap above the wheels in initial mock up.

 

Very nicely done. I was going to do that with mine when I decided to go CYM with the paint, but didn't have the time (or the initial funds needed) to do that. I cant wait to see that in person.

 

we STILL need more pics! cmon!

 

The simplicity of the FBs design, with the exquisite look of an FD.....Thats totally where its at in my book. Cant wait to see the final product. That car is gonna be killer!

 

It's looking real good. What are you going to do for doors? Yuo leavig them stock or are you making them wider also?

 

 

well, i started working on ther rear fender and deck. those of you wondering how

i am going to make fenders from scrach, ill let you guys in a little secret. first you

make your design using............................................. .............yeah right!!

took me a while to figure this one out so i think ill keep it to myself for now. ill tell

you guys when im done with my car.

anyways, here is a pic of what i have so far. i've only did a rough shaping. its not

completely perfect and smooth yet but you get the point. oh BTW, this is how i

solved my fender gap issue from a while back. yay for me. live and learn guys!

 

i guess.......

 

I don't see the point. Might as well get an FD.

 

i dont like the yellow car. also, i may be mistaken, but isnt that an eclipse front end?

B and T----cant wait to see this thing complete......i know your secret for the fenders...maybe, dont worry, i wont tell anyone.

 

this is like a couple feet shorter lol
it all counts

 

I think it is awesome!! Reminds me of when I first saw them put the 'droop snoot' on the Porche 911's (930, 935-K3, etc). Looks totally cool. I can see that you are doing an amazing job of tying it all together. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it done!!

Because he doesn't want to be one of the guys who has an awesome car and don't even know how to change the sparkplugs. (Read: People who buy awesome cars cuz they have $$$ but pay someone else to do all the fix'n. Funny how you ask someone like that something about their car and they answer, "I don't know, let me ask my mechanic."
Truly Sad.





Later,

That is a kinda insulting thing to say, there. What do you mean, you don't think he could change the sparkplugs in a FD?

The car looks good and will look even better when it has the power and handling to match. What's the next plans for that?

 

Are you doing anything with the interior? I would kep it stock.
