Good work. I used to like that kit but not any more. Shaving looks good but I hate it too b/c if you curb or bottum out it cracks it and your up ***** creek! But other then my opinions its good stuff

I think it looks ultra-sanitary. And the wing is interplanetary

But I would be worried about curbing that thing- I already stress about my lip spoiler enough!!!

i agree with the no wing idea, but its your opinion that matters for that. I am however very impressed with your body work being a bodyman myself.

Nice job. How did you fill in the area where the side markers and molding were located?

shaved door handles rule. FC's shoud have came with them. Shitty design used the rubber gasket and if you paint over it your stuff will crack and it you leave it unpainted it looks like ***. I think if you will be happier if you went with another nose piece before you paint it. That old FC one looks like a 3000gt way to much. Good work tho

HEY HEY i didnt get flamed that bad...lol hey about the body line and all the shaved spots and mouldings. I took the door off and used fiberglass matting and resin after you grind all that down with 36 grit. Put some fiberglass filler to build it up sand that with 36 just to knock it down then use 80 grit when you get down smooth. Last thing is to use bondo for all the pin holes and (LITTLE) building. Also using 80 grit too sand. As far as curbing it i am leaving it in primer to see if it is going to spider crack out <im 99%sure it wont. But if it does i know a good body man that can prob fix it. And it also would be cool to do the dukes of hazzard thing but i have door poppers. Thanks for all the replys shoot me a pm and i can go over the body prosses in more detail. And can somebody put that first pic in photoshop so i can see that thing in color (BLUE) C_YA JT
