One more side shot

 

I'm liking the side profile on that!

 

Fantastic. That car has a nice ***!

 

Looking great!!!!

Your vision for this body work must of been reasonable clear and focused, because to be honest I couldn't see it being as good looking of a shape than it is!

The rear makes much more sense with the colour on it, and the front is just PHAT!!

 

That is one gnarly looking car man, congrats on the work so far and good luck with it!

 

Sick looking sides and rear are dialed.

 

I have to get the diffusers done for the full effect.

 

Somebody get me a tissue!

 

Thanks for all the kind comments. It's going to be nice to be able to work on it for a change without having to wear a respirator!

 

Love it. The rear vents look so menacing! Look forward to the rear diffuser completed.

I can't resist posting more pics. This is probably my favorite angle of this car so far. I'm putting sound deadener in the main passenger compartment. I did get the mirrors and headlights back in. I need to get the rear diffusers done so I can get the full effect of the body work.

 

Looks mean. You might have mentioned already, but what color are you planning to paint it?

 

I think the white is working.

 

Nice project

 

Rear end shots are the best!

 

Yeah I agree. I was hoping you'd keep it a subtle color and not go overboard with some kinda bright candy yellow haha.

 

I'd agree with this. Makes it stand out in most crowds and roads, as well as isn't terrible to keep clean (like black or dark gray). White seems to work well on the FB's body lines for the most part.

Not that your FB has many of its original body lines anymore, but that's for the better

 

You mean like my first widebody? 1973 VW Karmann Ghia. Porsche yellow.

 

Open mouth, insert foot... lol my bad. Just not a fan of bright overstated colors. That FB has enough attitude already

 

Personally I like "Happy" non-metalic colors. Red, Yellow, Blue....etc. That said white racecars have a clean/serious look to them.

By the way, my RX7 racecar is a shade of yellow (Chrysler Prowler Yellow single stage) that closely matches a common Rustoleum color and bright yellow duct tape. In my world, crashing happens and ya gotta be ready!

 

It's cool, really. If the car had been any bigger, it would have been too much yellow. Those pictures don't come close to conveying the real color. It glowed in the dark. I, like Mustanghammer am a fan of the happy primary colors.

I'm actually color blind so a lot of the fancy, show paint jobs are kinda lost on me. Besides I will ding it up. I've already got some spots I will have to fix just from working on it. I don't know how those guys like the show Overhaulin paint the car in pieces and re-assemble them with no scratches.

 

I paint my cars in pieces, usually put some tape along edges as I'm reassembling etc to keep things from getting scratched. I try not to be too uptight about it though since my cars are drivers and as such get stone chips and dings etc anyway during normal use.

Whatever you choose to paint it will be cool though, you've put so much time into customizing it you can do whatever you want

 

couple more with the headlights and mirrors. I just have the rear diffusors but I think I'm going to modify them slightly before I put them on. More fiberglass!!!!!

 

Amazing work! I love watching your car come together! I'm looking forward to seeing more progress.

 

Got the sound deadener in and started on the carpet. I think it might be a little cold in my garage because it isn't wanting to lie down very well. I have to admit I have never laid a carpet in a car before.
