Thanks all! After a weeklong of bondo chewing we are finally close to our final shape on the front end.. the bumpers and fenders are almost done alongwith the upper half of the doors. As soon as the lower part of the doors are done we will get to the rear end. Keep the feedback going!

Im curious. where are you located at??? those peeps around the car look like illegal immigrants at a body shop.in the US.! LOL

inperfectdarkness · 09-22-2007, 06:06 AM

yeah. it's looking more and more like a corvette; but i applaud your efforts, and the skill you undoubtedly have.

RebelExtrm02 · 09-22-2007, 06:20 AM

I'm not liking the sharp edges. I think it would look 100% better if all of the lines were smooth, especially around the wheel wells. Your doing a helluva job none the less. Kudos.

I like where its going. The front was looking too angular but I see you're using those lines elsewhere as well. I REALLY like the fender flowing back onto the door panel. It somewhat resembles a Corvette but so do a lot of cars. Are you going to have clearance issues with the door opening?

Moich · 09-23-2007, 02:52 PM

i like the creativity but being bodyman i question the application,yur going to have problems down the road, the coldfill will crack,but i do like the concept.

SmoothGT · 09-23-2007, 03:58 PM

FREEESSSHHHH..loving the door panels, the wheel wells not so much, but the rest of it is fresh.

^Zo6 but still a good look. i thought the first bumper pic was clay. Damn dude first speed bump crack, or the whole thing will just fall off. Mardi glass is much stronger. How many Gallons of body filler have u gone thru already?

100% agreed. the curves are what separates the 3/s from every other car it competes with. look at the fenders on a 350z, look at these. same style. i firmly believe that anything aftermarket for the body of a 3/s should further distinguish it from the competition; and not emulate it.

and 80% of the population can't tell a z06 from a regular c5. why would you want a 3/s to look like either?
