so i finally got across to beginning the body work on the car. i gota it stripped down to a rolling shell so we wont miss a single spot with paint. Here are some pics of it while it was stock and pics of the progress

 

im always wonder why people mold their body kits in...once they start to crack it looks terrible and if you need to the the bumper off you are screwed. is that deltreezen's front bumper and light kit?

 

Looks like the headlights are broken in the 5th picture

 

im not molding the front, because that is obviously gonna come off more than once. i mold the sides and back because i like the clean lines and if it cracks, big deal i can redo it. and yea i was never a fan of pop up lights which is why i chose to go with this kit. although i must admit the fitment of the front bumper was horrible.

 

Looking good omee. cant wait for it to be on the road again. I miss her

 

hahaha everyone says that when someone purposely put their headlights like that

if you start modding your car your going to start hating life with the molded kit. but if you dont do anything, guess it could be ok.

 

got the fmic installed and the moldings shaved off today....

 

I knew it Omee what the hell why isnt this thread filled with pictures...lol sorry i had to do it

looking good bro now all we need to do is match the motor with the looks and terrorize the tracks of central florida

 

well ur not terrozing any tracks until u get a rollcage put in ther buddy ehem ehem

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhh snap!! BURN! AHH HA

 

true i dont want to get kicked out of every track in central florida for my fastnessss

 

so did you weld in strips where the moldings were or did you do the cheap way and mudd it up

 

edit

 

it wasnt me who did them but i beleive they were fiberglassed up. i kno they werent welded

 

hUH. TO EACH..

 

huh what?

 

I think your car looked nice before... I always thought the Dz kit looked a little like a stepped on frog or something.. Cool that you are putting that much $ into the car, just interesting to me that even though you have a pretty sweet engine setup you feel the need to aggressivley modify the outside.

To each thier own, I personally like the kits that accent the cars original intent, not try to transform it into something else.. Looks like a tiburon front end on a 7 rear..

Cool project though...

 

i liked the stock body too, but ive always been the kinna person who tries to be different, so when i saw this kit it caught my attention and i even waited 2 yrs for the kit to actually be made and sent to me. ive also never really been a fan of pop up lights so i kinna killed 2 birds with one stone. thanks for the comments tho.

 

Yeah, I am glad that he finally took care of all the people that were sending him money.. I'm sure your car will look sweet. You painting it back red?

 

nope im goin with a blue similar to the yamaha blue im not sure of the proper name for it sao i jus call it yamaha blue painting it inside and out ther wont be a spot of red anywher on the car

 

hows it getting molded? using aheasives and fiber glass mattingg then body filler or rivets and body filler?

 

rivets and body filler

 

ok cool justt one recmondation if u dont mind is to use expanding foam or something where its molded in under carriage. It reduce vibrations and twisting from the molds cuasin it to crack or seperate. Last think u need is to resand the panel back down and have redo the body and molds.

 

yea i thought about doin that thanks for the info bro

 

well shes all primered and almost ready to go. jus waitin on my roll cage to come in so it can be color matched
