S13

[_WIDE_LOAD_]

Sounds like the same problem i had with my S13. But i buckled the left A pillar and warped the roof trying to fix it!
The from bar looks sick, and the widebody idea sounds excellent
Later, WIDE

Damn nice progress you have in there!!! I think you are faster complete your s13 that my own s13 project.

Nice Front end, I wish I could do something like that to mines.

Got a chance to finish one of the sideskirts. Made an attempt at exaggerating the bolt-on look for the bumper as well as the sideskirts. I think it looks good for a first attempt

your bodykits look so nice, first attempt looks excellent, any progress on your 911?

[DJ RaYgU]

ur bodykits are phenomenal!! Keep up the good work.

[SchuberT]

Holy crap that's one CLEAN kit. Great job so far.

[mrceej]

very impressive work. nicely executed.

Whoa! I am loving the way you made the plastic from the car and the styrene flow together!!! Those are some serious skills! So when are you going to build a Honda?

[sneiser]

... you beat me to it lol .... but man your kits is mint ... nice and smooth ... hope your paint turns out nice! what colour are you going for?

Thanks guys. I've finally been able to fix the warped panel that was bowing out. What I did was tape thetwo body panels together so that there was tension on it and then applied some auto lacquer thinner to the offending panel's pillars. This sofened up the plastic and when the thinner evaporated, the body panels held enough to correct the bowing. That was the only reason I started the sideskirts. If I had to do that now, the putty might crack from the body. Definite no no.

You guys are way ahead of me in terms of color. I haven't even decided on wheels just yet. I don't have very many to choose from. I have a set of the 19inch Aoshima TE's and CE wheels. They just look too big on the car. Almost monster truckish. A nice set of 18inchers would probably work out. I might even go the route of some wide 15inchers that I have bought from way back.

I'm thinking of maybe a nice black or a silverish blue (okay... I have this nail polish color... ) but really undecided until I figure out the wheel situation.

Hmm... the 911, to be honest, I don't know when I'll ever get that one. I typically have alot of models that I start but never finish... (and one of them is an NSX which I don't know when I'll get to) That Porsche really doesn't have much appeal to me right now thus the quick how to on the rear flares.

Thanks again for the interest!

You have some of the cleanest bodywork! Very good!

[Trial_Style]

And I thought the front looked awesome... Ur skirts are fantastic. Everything flows so nicely, and to think it's ur first time. It would probably take me 2 yrs jus to get the bumper right!
