Top secret project unveiled

This project is so top secret, I don't even know exactly what I'm building yet :confused:

For you Supra lovers, sorry i butchered this one.
For the kids that want to learn body modifications, this thread is gonna have many pictures on the progress of the body modifications. Its gonna show the use of styrene sheets and putty.

Some of you may notice the hood/bonnet being very low. Where's the engine gonna go? :confused: :D

You murdered a supra!:D Looks all in pieces.... I would be confused ;)How is the engine going to fit?!?!?!

LOL, I'm guessing the blue marker line was the "instructions," which you seem to have ignored... ;) :p

Actually, they're limit marks to show where I should stop sanding. I'm probably going to radius the corner or hmmm...... I don't have a clue yet. TOP SECRET remember? ;)


i hope you guys don't think this looks like one of Laurents projects. You know....the chop top/ fender flares.

-Walter

is the engine moving to the rear or to the store room???:flamer:

I see, the engine will go where the passenger seat would normally be. A ngle seater cockpit surround will enclose the driver with F-18 canopy over the top (including HUD for all engine functions)...or maybe not!

Hmmmm, interesting project. Can't wait to see more pics.

I like what I'm seeing... that's gonna be a BRUTAL looking supra
Are you gonna put *ahem* "wheels of 19 inch" on those?
:D

put a ferrari engine in the rear :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I second that.

It will be intresting to find out what it looks like...

I know! I know! A longitudinally mounted Subaru EJ20T boxer four with a converted AWD drive train, that ought to fit. :D

A transverse Celica 4 banger?:eek:

Actually a longitudinally mounted Toyota 4 banger like the 3SGTE might still fit, like Top Secret of Japan's Supra that's hit some insane speeds. They're getting over 700hp out of this 4 banger!

edit: damn geocities, exceeded the hit counter already, try this one:

Some serious mods going on there Walter! Looks great!

Is this based on something you have seen or is it more of a fantasy project?

Aha! This isn't really a top secret project so much as a silent plea for help cause now that he's hacked up the car he has no idea how to salvage it. All the posts we are putting here are just ideas for him. Sneaky...very sneaky.....

j/k

whoa!?!? kewl conversion, but can you fit the engine? :cwn27: hey jus a suggestion, make it into a supra roadster? huh?!? huh!?! looks tight without the top!!! :cool:

I little bit of both. I'm pulling ideas off concept cars, a little of my own, and maybe a little from you guys. Like Jarrod Li said,".....a silent plea for help." ;)


After posting the thread last night, I took the hood and rear fender arches apart to reshape them. There will be a lot of that going on with this project. The hood was redone so the curvature doesn't dip down so much. The rear fender arches are going to be re-cut so that they sit higher and then the flares added back on. The body will be completely widened with the flares as a guide.

Right now I'm considering the Ferrari v10 F2001 engine or the Porsche GT1 flat 6. Twin turbos are also in the mix of ideas, but I don't want to cover up the induction system with a large box. I'd like to put some polished aluminum velocity stacks that will be visible with a clear rear cowl. Well, as you now know its gonna be mid/ rear engine powered. <---SECRETS OUT!:D

Yo that thing is hot so far. I can't wait to see what it looks like when its done. I love th fact that your trying new things. thats great and keep it up.

What did you use to cut the hood out?

Is it finished?

haha thats was what i was gonna say!:D

LOL
i thought ure makin a TOP SECRET Supra....but its actually a Top secret project

Awesome!!! Please keep the "pic-torial" coming! As Pman said - will be watching this with very keen interest!

well, this is an interesting proposition-evening out the weight balance of the supra by stuffing a new more powerful engine into the back and lopping off the roof in the process. I'll assume the rest of the body will remain mostly stock? maybe a small 70's style lip on the back? and how do you plan to get a new roof onto it? a convertible ferrari could be used as a donor for several pieces. VERY interesting stuff!

That is starting to look like most of my projects right in the middle of them, I love seeing models chopped up just to imagine the end result.:D
Good luck on this as I know it will be a PAIN to make all that custom work look flawless.

Look is awesome looking...good luck with this I wanna see it finished

cool!

looks like something out of MONSTER GARAGE!!

WOW!! cant wait to see it come out alive

GOOD LUCK!!!!

WHEN ARE WE GONNA SEE SOME MORE PROGRESS ON THIS PROJECT? IM GETTING IMPATIENT!

Nice progress, its great to get a little crazy every now and then, hope the end colour will be wild enough to match the surgery. :bigthumb:

Can't wait to see what this beast will look like:D

Ispiration is a bitch :sly: Hopefully, he's doing fine; he's working as a model designer/engineer/builder (?) for the movie industry. He's still building, just for a much larger audience now. He checks in from time to time but his work keeps him busy. :sunglasse
