post all of your cool or uniquie body,lowering and extra cell mods for everyone to see.

i dont have a pic yet but i took a motorworks yellow suv and cut the body to fit on a zip zap chassie ,then put on a body kit which puts it on the ground and custom painted zip rims.just to start on it.:bdrop:

awsome cant wait to see it

focus/nuvolari/murcielago

they need work

where'd u get that muricelago and escort body? If u don't mind me asking.

Did you get the murcielago from ScaleAutos?

the murcielago is a resin cast of the bit version like this one.
i stretched it out to fit a zip, with some resin and putty.......it still needs paint

u did a very good job.

I might want to start experimenting with putty. What is avg. cost of putty?

I was thinking about adding a full bodykit to my black civic. Any tips?

thanx clearstorm
putty is pretty cheap, like $2 a tube, but takes some time to work on.......i use tamiya and squadron putty i bought at a hobby shop

if you wanna add lips to the body, simple credit cards cut up and glued around the body works well........check out sinned's tutorial

I was planning to use the Tamiya putty.

Right now i am cutting the stock front off the civic, i want to mold a whole new front to it. You think this feat will be hard, especially for a newb to putty?

btw, i am cutting the front with a X-acto. Its gonna take a while :(

be carefull of what you cut off.......its harder to transplant front ends with eachother, superglue doesn't hold good enuff, i use a compound called instaplastic that fuses plastics together much stronger than glue or putty.....

use the putty for the contours and body shaping

good luck and show us your progress

I would show you all my progress, but no digi camera.

How many tubes of putty did u use to make a whole body?

Also, u think maybe i can make a body kit OVER the original front end, or will that look messed up?

you dont want to make a whole body outta putty, it will be too heavy...........also, it might crack if you hit something hard enuff

i chop and shave sections i wont need and then fill with putty to get the shape i want. get some fine sandpaper and maybe a small file set....for the fine details.........

if you have a dremmel, all the better

this is how i made the nuvolari, but you might wanna check this tomorrow or sumthin, ive exceeded my bandwith

ive been working on a clear resin cast of a SSTuner Supra. The car looks AMAZING and fits a zip pretty well, except the wheels and the wells dont match up. So first, i will make a resin, cut the resin in the mid section w/ dremel, resize it to zip size (can't do it on the original cuz dremel wont cut metal of that size), and sand it out. The thing I LOVe about this baby, i wont have to mask this time. The original had windows that popped out, and w/ a lil resizing of the sunroof, i should be able to pop it in!

Oh mamma! That blue RS thing has got me touchin' myself in an impure way! What is it, where'd you get it, how much you want for it!?!?

Hey dr1zz did you ever finish the murcie body I'm still intersted in buying one of the casts plus i just got a airbrush so you dont need to paint it
