In the body shop
Alright I haven't been posting recently but I've been around, and my latest projects have been a Chevelle body, and two Rx-7's from initial D.
The Chevelle had it's top chopped off a while back, so I just got some putty and used some ZZ packaging to rebuild a top for it, the roof is a lot lower that the original one, also the front bumper broke off when I first got it, so I made a new bumper, which is a lot smoother. The Yellow RX-7 is getting a new front bumper and side skirt body kit, the front headlights got shaved off so there ain't any more pop up lights, I'll just leave the rear bumper the way it is. The white RX-7 got shaved door handles, mirrors taken off, the front bumper smoothed out, and the rear spoiler holes filled in, also the rear bumper smoothed out.
Here's the pics, sorry if they ain't that clear.

progress of chevelle:
sorry that pictures are so small, if I made them bigger they would take up the whole screen and last time I got cussed out, haha, well here's a link to the gallery: http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpGa ... ?album=141
tell me what Ya'll think about the progress, and any recommendations will be greatly accepted, critism is good too.

Looks very promising there bro. I am diggin the Chevelle. All I can say at this point is sand it smoooth untill you think it's perfect, then sand some more. A great trick is to lay your primer when you think you are done. in. This way you will see all the imperfections, sand/putty and paint again. Great start tho.
