after seeing this carisma built tvr i had to go with the suggestion that i had a carbon square box, just to be different, much more fun than following the crowd

well the new colour of my car might be red now, but only because i have no skin on my fingers anymore and am bleeding all over it
 nearly done, gonna take a million pics of it as it is to prove how much work has gone into it, as paint has that horrible way of making 20hrs worth of work look like it never happened  but in the same sense im happy its gonna get a coat of primer coz then its closer to paint time

Re: Just started Converible wide arch RX7
Looks nice, as you said you have some impurities in the putty, but nothing like a little sanding to do the trick huh? I have a ? for you. To make it easier on yourself, why don't you start out with 60grit to shape, 150 to contour, 240 to smooth, and work your way up in the paper till its smooth as glass? That's what I do and mine comes out descent.

I was looking at the pics and there was something that I didn't like...
I think it's the fact that there are no panel lines!!! In real life,even the most massive bodykits have some panel lines,some structure...The fact that your widebody is literaly all over the car(you can call it the one-off car  ) do no justice to the hours you worked on the car!Think at least about having some lines between front bumper and front wings and the same for the rear!!! However,it's a good work! Just my 2 cents for the hours spent on this model! P.S:Also because of the very smooth lines your body kit has the car might look better without a wing!(Something commonly done to classy RX-7s)

Its looking good, like you said it has some impurities but thats ok, nothing big! I do agree with Mythos though and maybe you should scribe in a panel line for the front and back bumpers. It will give the car that extra nudge toward perfection! Good work so far!
Can't wait to see it painted !PS: i really like the exhaust its a nice different touch!

Hey chris,
This car is sick!!!!! I think the exaust is a little to big tough because it stiks out to much at the bottom. Anyways thats just my opinoin and keep up the good work!!!

i always do my panel lines last of all, that way i can guarentee that the depth is always the same all round and not different from over sanding.
so there was always gonna be some just not at that stage yet. the exhast is meant to hang down a little as i wanted the rear to have a diffuser look, there was a slight miscalculation on my part when building the exhaust, it was meant to be 20mmx5mmx20mm, but i ended up making the top pieces the total size and not the inside size and now its 20x7x20. oh well. i dont think this is gonna be my last custom exhaust so expect them to get better. There is a rear wing on there i just didnt want it to be too big as i wanted to keep a gentle smooth look to it, im sure the final colour will bring this all together. i used a very heavy grade paper to shape it initaly but in the final stages it does more harm than good in the smooth flowing parts. i start with 60 grit heavy grade oxide paper. then when im happy it goes to the wet and dry paper. its all good stuff.

just a suggestion, but you should do something with the rear wing... don't know about you, but it just doesn't add the feel to the widebody car... it looks a bit out of touch if you know what i mean
