Re: quick question: how to make new body lines?
When I did my 240SX coupe, I just used some aluminum tape. First I lay the tape over a non modified body, and burnish the body line into the aluminum, then cut it with a hobby knife. I then lined up the door lines on the modified body that didn't get filled with putty with the newly cut out aluminum "mask" I simply then followed the aluminum tape lightly with the back of a #11 blade until the scribe was deep enough to carve it out freehand. once I was satisfied with the depth, I matched the lines up with the existing lines by chasing the new scribe line as well as the existing line with a sharp triangle file.
The end result turned out so well that once painted you could not tell that the body was hacked in 3 different places.
