man i cant wait to see how this is going to come out since it is looking so sick already.


Dark.

that looks good so far.

thing looks sick can't wait to see the finish product

i love that silver 350z lol looks like the one on my block.... your project looks very good keep up the good work!

I haven't managed to work much on it since school started, but I'm staring at it right now deciding how to make the top cover and a couple parts still.

ok, so I know i've been busy with school and haven't really done much, but I figure its time for atleast a minor update.

UPDATE #5:
Since last I've written, I'd finally gotten the body, and I've started with the first in few minor physical details (cutting/sanding, etc) and the bodies basically getting ready for its new look, minus the next few molding stuff with the putty. In the pics below I took before I started adding the putty, but I'm molding the body kit to the body (giving it the "sealed" look to it), also left are the rear bumper lower decks and the top cover. once thats done, things should take shape into the final complete look. Also, I was inspired to try somethign with the hood and a paper clip off a picture of someones xmods project (I think it was it was in one of the Civic Guys projects over in the XI Forum). well 'till then I hope you guys enjoy these few pics:

looks like you kind of messed up on the targa top.

cool will look better with the paint.

the side isnt messed up. hes gonna use some kind of materials to make the cover for the top. see the veilside conv. z

looks pretty good, time to take the windows off too, and rather than cut those parts behind the doors out like that i wouldve just made an indention if i went into that much detail, looks like you're doing a good job so far though, good luck with the rest of it

yeah, get rid of the windows. so far, looks good

tat gon be a great looking car when its all done

You're not supposed to post in threads that are older than a month, unless you are the person who made it and posting with an update to a long-term project.

Don't do that again.

Thanks for your cooperation.

well i was gonna say, there went a another mint 350z body down the drain, making mine just that much more valuable lol. then was going to add, atleast you have the talent to fix the poor thing and bring it back to a new life and have it looks awesome..

but then i saw page 3 with those jaged cuts.. im a little worried again, hope this turns out good and those cuts get cleaned up. this is deff a sweet idea for a project, cant wait to see it turn out, keep it up and good luck!

the jagged cuts aren't so bad, I've been slowly working on this before of the off and on school schedule, the hrs needed to sand this properly is just too much to afford with my classes. There will be an update soon however, I just want to finish the putty work before then. The windows have been cut but they're going to get a clear plastic one (already made). Also I already made a test piece for the top cover, so all in all things aren't looking too bad right now.

@SPR, There are two different 350Z bodies shown in the project, the first one is still mint and just fine, if you carefully read the project, the silver body that you see cut up I actually received like that, there are adjustments being made to it to make it look the way it does now. (A friend of mine thought it'd be smart to cut the roof and rear windshield off... -_- ) eventually he got rid of his Xmods and here we are, Ironically he did something stupid to a tC, and thats now gonna be my basher body for my lancer when I go to test drive.

Anyways, I promise they'll be an update soon, I didn't think anyone was gonna post in here till then lol, but since you are, I'll add some progress info heh.

oh and thanks again red for moving this here, and also for not closing it on the random post above.

UPDATE #6:

I've deffinately been taking my time with this but hey its starting to look good and the goal line more visible. This updates are on the body and the cumalitive sanding i've been doing since the last update. I hope you guys enjoy as I'm getting to be very excited with this project.

For anyone thats missed it:
Official color will be Candy Red; I will be using the Stock Gen 1 Spoiler (refer to pics below); Hood will also be candy red, and the chasis is the one i have my current 350Z on.

Enjoy the Pics.
