For sure I'll be checking this project!

White will be the base. Of course since its a drifter and I will drive it, its gonna be sticker slapped!!! If I could find the right D1 decals they're going on it for sure. And thanks!

Thanks man it means a lot coming from an amazing body work specialist like you!
Small update today. I got some wheels yesterday from Faze on MZR. They're the Silvia S15 wheels!!! I've wanted them for sometime now, and they came with drift tires installed, which were a HUGE pain to take off, had to put them in a vice and tap them out with a hammer. 2 got stubborn, so I did a trick by microwaving them for a bit then they tapped out as well. Took a good 25 min though.... At least they look good!!!
For today, I plan on doing gearguy70's MA-010 wheel stub mod. I wanted to do it for sometime, but I didn't have a dremel
Or so I thought........ I realized, a drill with the right bit on it = dremel (fail....). So! I went and found this!!! Perfect!!!
After testing it out on a stub, I felt the need to do it for my 350z chassis which it shares with the R32. I took my time luckily....40 min goes by.......
And I'm happy
What I noticed was these wheels have a slight offset to them and it really looks flush like a real drift car!! LOVE THESE WHEELS!!
The drill bit was perfect!! It made the stubs look so factory...
Thank you gearguy70!!!!!!!! One of the BEST mods ever!!!!! Now I don't have to cut up MA-010 wheels just to put them on my cars........
I plan on doing this the rest of the day for my other cars and skipping the body work for now. Its a great mod you only have to do once, then you can finally use MA-010 wheels!!!
Take your time though...and remember to grind, and wait for about 30 secs or else it will heat up too much and bend/move like this and end up crooked. Luckily I only ruined on stub. I wouldn't have anymore to replace if I messed up on the other ones....
2nd try on my last stub and it came out great!
Tomorrow I'll do some more putty work. Today I'm going to cut some of the putty off and clean it up a bit and I'll update tomorrow. Thanks for the comments guys keep 'em coming
