Project SR-Werks GTR Ver. II

[XMDrifter]

so i'm at it again. blackdragon sent me a GTR body that was pretty badly beaten up. after much sanding and re-etching:
this is what it looked like sittin next to my other GTR body a few days ago (also courtesy to BD)


and as it sits right now:





and my original concept:


as it progresses, i'll be updating.
btw, does anybody have extra old plastic cards like useless ID's or credit cards i could use for styrene?

[Blackdragon]

Wow, you sanded the heck out of that body. I can't wait to see what you do to this one. And as for old cards I will look around to see what I have and will let you know. But I may just send them with the other stuff when I send it off but you will know it's coming when I am ready to ship. Good luck and I will be watching this build.

[XMDrifter]

thanks BD.
also, as you can see, i forgot to mention that i've marked where to cut for my hood vent cus i'm making a z-tune style vent in the center

[Howlsatmoonlight]

lookin good man, can't wait to see it finished.

[deckerz]

needs alot of work but i think you can pull it off.

[XMDrifter]

i've started to add putty. pics later tonight or tomorrow.

[XMDrifter]

C&C welcomed

[lol]

Is that a spoiler created from alum can? Rear diffusers need evening, but other than that, coming along nicely.

[XMDrifter]

aluminum sheet. it's about 1.5-2 times the thickness of aluminum can

[Blackdragon]

Coming along very nicely. Love the rear spoiler and the body work so far.

[bnR34]

very nice!! i love the bodywork, nice job so far!

[XMDrifter]

rear wheel well molds removed after basic puttywork. proceedin to fill in.
front wheel well molds in progress, and front canard set completed.
pictures later this week when i get time

[WhiteCharisma]

holy crap your bodywork is flawless lol that wing just looks sick! I'd be a little to afraid of using aluminum just cause I'm not exactly good with sharp objects...i can't wait to see this done nice work! is it going to be drifting? hehehe

[XMDrifter]

most likely yes.
i've added few minor additions to the original plan, so watch out.
i hope to have pics up soon

[XMDrifter]

ok, here's the update:
mean machine:

[XMDrifter]

wow, no replies.

update: guidecoat added:




what do you think?

[lol]

OMG IT TEH SACKS. I love it. Much better than your other one IMO.

[XMDrifter]

most likely because the other one was in worse shape than this one. andbecause i'm more experienced from my last experience with custom stuff.

[ANBUryan]

Siiiiick dude!

[Blackdragon]

Awesome turnaround for that body, you do great work. When you go and design a real car I'm buying.
