U could get a mustang one and make it fit using rivets to cover any modifications to it. Not cheap though!

Got to say the rivet effect is looking awesome!! Starting to remind me of the twisted metal games on the old consoles. Keep it up

 

I could, but with it being a lot of money, I'd be scared of cutting it up. I don't mind messing around with cheap bits and bobs, but over £200 of kit would put me off :( Cheers dude - I loved those games :p

 

 

Bonnet needs some more.. Up the centre or something. Even better a Perspex window surrounded by rivets!

 

I'm going to put more on the bonnet later one, once I've worked out where I'm putting vents.

 

 

i hope i dont see this anymore,ive got the sudden urge to pick them all off :giggle:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw that on your Facebook page - it looks frickin awesome

Nice! Army style under construction!

 

Gotta say those studs have come out much better than i expected! well done mate

SHOOT. ME. This job is depressing me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Near side, front bumper and roof left to do. 2/3rds done...

That. Is. Awesome.

That is looking superb. If you were a bit closer I'd offer to give you a hand

Looking good bud labour of love !

Thanks guys Trust me DH, you want no part in this - I feel I may need sectioning soon!

 

And would you believe it... I'VE RUN OUT OF STUDS AGAIN

On a positive note though... I'm really enjoying this Saharan sand that's been landing on everyone's cars. It's been working a treat on ratting up my paintwork

I think some of that window netting stuff racecars have wouldnt go amiss here, im loving this so far though

Great minds think alike - I was playing around with that idea in Photoshop yesterday :p

 

Here we go again...

 

 

 

They dried in time for me to get another 60 or so on the car. In the meantime I thought I'd finally get a skull put on the bonnet - decided on using a stencil to give it a "burnt in" effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a bit bright at the mo (well, it is fresh paint) but I've already begun wearing it in. It should flatten out of the next couple of weeks and I can hopefully blend it in a lot better, particularly round the edges

Love how this is coming on mate!!

I've been driven to drink.

 

 

 

Second side finished.

 

 

 

Started the front bumper.

 

 

 

 

Rear sunstrip added to compliment the front one.

 

 

 

 

Roughed up the bonnet skull - starting to look a lot more "merged in" with the rest of the paint.

 

 

 

 

Cleaned baby.

 

 

 

 

...and I've run out of studs. IT NEVER ENDS

 

I've got the front bumper to finish, roof, wing mirrors and spoiler.

This is looking awesome! Keep it up

Did you sort your lights out or just not got round to it yet?

I've had a look over them, but can't work out what's responsible for the direction. I need to do some more research.

 

I might just buy some beam benders and stick them on...

you need to put a v8 in this

you need to put a v8 in this

 

If I had the money... I probably would lol.

 

The noise of a V8 is my favourite engine sound

 

 

 

Such awesome.

I'd love to, but I work Sundays and my **** of a supervisor has booked the whole month off, so no one else is allowed any holiday

reading this thread someone might get the idea all you do is work and stick little round things to cars :giggle:

That's a shame. You'd love it.

P.s that's a nasty cough you have

You need one of these next

The sad thing is, that statement is true. Working nights has destroyed my soul... I need a new job... one that pays well so I can actually put decent hardware on the car!

In my dreams. I'd be lucky to get this thing to Stage 1 :(

 

That's a shame. You'd love it.

I saw some of the motors during the truck racing at Brands 2 years ago - really want to see more of it, but there's nothing I can do. Will have to wait until next years one. On the plus side, I've managed to get time off for the BTCC (touch wood) for the second time this year... silver linings

Haha - I'm sure I've seen that somewhere before. I'm just worried some divvy schmuck would look in my window, see it and call the police (yes people in my town are that dumb). I've had to put the arm away (one hanging out of my boot) because too many smokey bears were following me around town and it was starting to get annoying.
