180sx with s15 half cut PROGRESS!

[TougeMonkey]

Here's the other version you are doing. I guess you'd call it a 180-15?

looks pretty good so far, heres a pic to help you out its my 1580 i cut it before the wheel well . i just thought it would be kind of hard to mold the two hoods together perfectly if i had went and made the cut above the wheel well but either way is good

K style/msports have a s15 with 180sx front, Looks pretty good actually.

I am thinking of that too.....and seeing that all half cuts are userly done from the front window.....

1580 I do believe. It goes back to front if I can recall. But damn, the lines of that just flow so friggen nice. I have never seen a 180 front on an S15. Looks so good.

Today i did a bit of cutting! lol.

Used a saw that i picked up from my LHS:


I Decided to cut the 180sx first so i cut on the red line:


First i just scored the surface:


Once i cut all the way through the 180SX i took the front end and placed it over the S15:


The used a marker to mark were i will cut:


I was very happy to find the cars mached almost perfect!


Next step will to be to glue the car's together and start the putty Process!

Here are the 2 cars matched up!




what do you guys think so far?

Cool progress!

Any of you Sleighty heads know where I can find pix of the 240 vert?
I bought the Tamiya kits to build one years ago and forget about it till I saw one on the street last week.
