Re: Wide Body RX-7

Here is a little update, still needs some sanding and I need to scribe bumper lines, but other then that I should be able to start on the engine and interior soon.

I made the vents in the front bumper smaller and I'm going to put these Racing Hart Type CR's on, they're a bit hard to see in the pics though.

For my S2000 I used masking tape to make an edge for the blade of my exacto knife to follow. Just lightly go over it several times and once you have a decent line, use the back of the blade to widen it a bit.

Re: Wide Body RX-7

Just finished opening up the passenger door, I'm going to take a stab at making some vertical door hinges, so far progress is good, but I'm not sure if the styrene is going to be strong enough, and fabricating the parts is also a hit and miss because there are very few pics of the hinge's individual parts.

Don't worry I'll have a tutorial on how to make the hinges... if I can get them to work that is lol

Re: Wide Body RX-7

Good luck with those hinges. Your wideboty looks great on your 7, reminds me a little about the old Fujimi Super aero kits. Oh,in my opinion i think it would look better with a aero fin on the rear, looks a little weak back there.

Re: Wide Body RX-7

Great to see it take such beautiful shape. Can't wait to see the doors finished and the whole body painted. Nice choice of wheels. Are you going to add a spoiler to this monster?

Re: Wide Body RX-7

WOW! This is an amazing RX7. It totally shits on mine! I wish i could do something like that. I like how the wide bodykit goes onto the door. Very cool! You have great skills! Sorry if this is a stupid question but that yellow putty, what is it and is it easy to use? Anyway great work! And good choice of wheels
