It wont be hard to do just some bondo and an evo iix wing cut down a little and that should cover the body. On the other hand paint will be the problem.so what color do ***YOU*** think would be nice?(cause i can't make up my mind)

[Kaze]

I'm curious how well this'll turn out, good luck on this project. I have a feeling it'll take a while. As for color, I like the Red they have for it and black looks good too. If you went for a darker silver I also don't see any issues. It's your choice man, can't wait to see pics.

I wonder if Xmodification can give me some pointers cause he done something close but i think candy red would be cool what do you think?

Is that play-doh? lol. It looks like it. I like the idea. I think you should make it gunmetal metallic silver.

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Yeah my dad is getting me bondo on his way from work and thats just to get the design right.And maybe a grey undercoat under the clear coat red........

[XMODification]

I wonder if Xmodification can give me some pointers cause he done something close but i think candy red would be cool what do you think?

I didn't like my result on my G35 too much - that's why it was designated as a basher/beater body -lol. I think aslong as you get the Play-doh/bondo in the right places and everything is all smooth and clean - once you drop the paint on there's no dought that it will look good. :nod:

bondo is super hard too work with, I have it, and it doesnt work too well,
I mean, Dont let me stop you, It just takes wayyy too long too dry, And the Harder doesnt seem too help,
Best thing I can tell you Carbon is too shape it, then Set it in hot sun light, Or under a heat lamp for awhile. then sand.


Anyways,
GT-R sounds pretty sick,

Its not hard to work with, I made my half scion half vette with bondo. And no actually it dries too quickly. It starts to harden in about 15 minutes so you have to work fast, or use less hardener.

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

no im going to do it at about 3:30 tomorrow.

nice work thats quite a project, any plans for the paint? and how do plan to do the rear lights?
Yeah i know but the paint will be glossy red with transparent red clear coat.As for the lights idk what do you think i should do?

[Scionbeave]

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

Yeah i know but the paint will be glossy red with transparent red clear coat.As for the lights idk what do you think i should do?

ummmm...maybe if you have an crappy model cars with lights you can use, or holepunch them out of some packing material...glue them on and fill in the extra space with body filler...sorry man got no ideas right now, i'll have to think abot that one

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Ok i have a question for you but which is the better glue?

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

the stickier one :) i like to use the jb weld stuff but i hate the smell but i never used the other one so i cant say for sure

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Okay another question:How should i cut down the headlights to be flat?
Thanks in advance,
Colin

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

flat where? the bottom part cuz its curved on the g35? i would probably use a file and again fill in the extra space on the car with body filler or sumthin

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

[Kaze]

Hey, any pics on where you stand?, I think I know what you're talking about the headlights, but if you show me a pic I could prolly figure something out for you. Also I might have an idea for the tail lights, but that would involve a GT-R34 Tailights

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

No i got grounded for a while but ah i have this picture:

file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Parent/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpghttp://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj153/xmodscarbon/GTRproject001.jpg?t=1207849684
And i had an R34 but it got ran over a year ago..........:cry:
All i need to do is make the bottom flat like the bumper.

[Kaze]

hmm I'm still not sure what you're asking about the headlights then... as for the tailights, if the GT-R body's in bad condition, then cut out the block where the tailights are on both the GT-R34 and the G35 bumper, and place the tailights from the R-34 onto the G35 bumper, then mold the shape with putty and sanding, i know its a lot of work, but the more work you put in and the more effort you put in the better things will turn out.

Goodluck

[Sweed]

So were's the pictures?

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

[Donziikid]

Leave it unless you planned on putting something else there. Otherwise it'd just look awkward having two large gaps. Just my $0.02.

I thought it would look like a race one but ok i need more thoughts.

[Lancer_Man]

Leave it. Even with something filling the large gap, it would look strange.

That's my opinion. :D

[xmodscarbon's_lost]

Okay i got an update on the front fenders.They look pretty good for now and should be done soon.
Now for the pictures:
