Lucky Update #7:

Ok, So basically after many many hrs of sanding, I'm getting closer and closer to the final goal. The body has now been completely sanded and there are some imperfections, basically the passenger side is being a pain in the butt, also a couple little mess ups on the driver side. Here are the pics I hope you guys enjoy it, I think next update will be starting with the painting process.

Almost There ^_^ Enjoy

man that thing is SHWOOT!

That looks mean. Looks very nice. Good sanding job. Hope the paint turns out as good as the body!

Yea... The putty I used on the front passenger side has to be reapplied.... I stripped the whole thing off the body because it had so many gaps/air pockets in it. I cleaned out the sideskirt fender and bumper and such and super glued it for now, once I re-apply the putty i'll resand and then finally go into painting. I'm thinking now of using a silver base for the Candy Red, thought thats also not official just yet.

UPDATE #8:

Ok ok, so I know last time I said next update would have paint on this, but I couldn't resist sharing this with you guys. I've first off had to strip the putty I used on the front passenger side as it was very screwy (air holes and such). Anyways, I layed down some more putty there and resanded it and it looks great.

As I was laying down the putty though, I thought about something in the design of this kit. If you guys look closely at the real kit you notice that the nose of the air**** is extended more than the one RS modeled for the BK. That's right, you guessed it, I extended the nose of the BK to match the real veilside kit.

Also, I mide the back cover for the convertible where the top goes down into, and its even hinged!, its currently held in place by tape but i'm gonna putty that off soon too. Anyways, enough talking I'll let the progress speak for itself (and yes its sitting on a chasis, its the 350Z chasis from the first updates all fixed up with a Team Redmade Rewound Motor).


just down right smexy, don't you think?


Look at that front end, its not even done yet but looks so good!


Side view, see that front fender reconstruction?

and finall a piece of irresistance, a comparison photo between the look i'm going for, and the project!

[WhiteMKIV]

[Stampedekid]

[drofants]

i like ur attention to detail. what is the back cover for the convertible made out of, clear plastic? going off the real car picture it seems that the cover is raised a little when it heads twords the seats. also i bet with your talent you could create some small headrests to give the apperance of seats if you are going for a realistic look . other then that it is comming along real nice. good job .

[stang_racer]

ya i havent been here for a while and its nice to see that someone got something done lol what are your plans for paint silver, orange, mabey black???, two tone posibly

[xmodkidd33]

Wow, nice! All I could suggest is to get some 2mm LEDs (The ones in the CL kit.) and stick them in the bumper holes.

[stang_racer]

no i think that that would take away from the raceing look at my cause im gonna kill you look and make it look too ricey

[Titantaw12]

nice! good luck!!

[Lowrideit]

Wow Kaze,
That thing is really sick!
Cant wait too see it finshed and painted man!
Good job!

Yes, I've been making the back cover out of the upgrades packaging. I've been using the plastic from the bodykit packaging and cutting/bending them into the proper shape. In the picture it sticks out a bit becuase it's actually hinged. When everything gets put in place i'll be finishing the shape for it and an actual cloth top for it. I've already bought some cloth to make it so we shall see.

I'd hate to make you read through all the updates, but if you check through, the official color will be Candy Red, there well also be some black highlights here and there.

That is what I'm doing, I already modded a CL kit for fog lights

Thanks all for the support so far.
