Wings West 300 ZX

im working on my own 300zx Wings West front piece, so its going well, it will be pretty easy i think, and if it goes well, ill just cjop off the front piece and put it on my next 300 zx

the one im using is an old one i built a long time ago


heres a pic of what i want it to look like


and also if you are going to talk shit to me about it, dont, cuz im tired of it

It looks good in the pic, and if yours turns out as good as that, it will be great. Give us some pics when you can.

i cant get any styrene in my area, and parents dont believe in using their credit cards on the WWW


the main structure of the kit is cut off palstic from a Mitsubishi GTO kit

the silver area in the pic is where i placed it on the kit, making the frame then i just started adding a lot of Red Putty im gonna have to wait to fiberglass it before i can sand it, if i dont, the whole thing will come off:(

hey bud.... looks good but yeah... needs a whole lot of sanding!
have u finished ure other projects yet?? pics?

Looks good for a putty monster.

im at a point were i have to wait for the ITR to dry, and ive given up on the pojntiac GTO

so im just doing this on the side

Did you know you could get away with using old gift cards as a cheap source of styrene sheet?
So, since your parents don't want to use their credit cards to help you, use the credit cards as styrene sheet;)

Doesn't surprise me you gave up on the GTO, you did say it was a difficult kit.

Show us some more when you have shaped the front of the putty thing, right now I can't make out too much(and it ain't the camera).

the kit doesnt fit together at all, nothing does, it says theyre are piece that arent there, and i didnt lose the pices, makes me mad!

im gonna try to mess aroung with it and try to get it right, and besides that, i cant read those directions

You use fiberglass??? I would think that that would heat up and distort the plastic to much?? You should try using "Pro-weld" it bonds almost instantly and holds VERY well. I just can't believe all the people that use real body shop materials on their models, isn't that an absolute pain to to work with??? Putty, styrene and Pro-weld= all the tools you need for any body kit.

If you are patient, I am sure your front end will turn out nice.

uh... the fiber glass doesnt hurt it at all! and u can sand it, i found that out after my bro got fiber glass all over my ITR the otehr day! its almost done!

hes gonna fiber glass the 300 tonite, tried to sand it yesterday and it just comes off, so prepare to see some blury pics of the wings west 300 by friday

If you are sanding fibreglass, be sure to wear a dust mask......or wetsand to keep the dust down......that is some dust you don't want in your lungs;-)

SUPRATUNER FEERS NO DUST< PAINT FUMES< OR SPRAYING IN ROOM WITH NO WINDOWS OPEN< THEN GOING TO BED 10 MIN LATER

heres some new shots, it has been sanded some but still needs more work and a little bit more fiberglassing

its a little bulky though, so i plan on some major side skirts and back piece! and prob some 20 inch wills if i can find some on HLJ
