Here is some work in progress. I still have plenty to do including chassis lowering, filling, sanding, painting, etc. All the usuall like exhaust and stuff. Looking for some nice racing color paint to slap on her and some numbers, etc. Any suggestions?

That is looking good. Should look killer all lowered w/ a race theme.

For racing colors I'd just say go with something bright. Cool thing to do, is pick a sponser, and mimic their colors.

I didn't even think about the sponser idea. Might have to try it. I was thinking along the lines of orange or red with white stripes or maybe reverse.

I have planned to do that from the get-go. Right now, I'm working on the body work. The drop will be done on the chassis with tab lowering.

Here is where I'm at so far...
I stuck the body on a chassis I already had dropped. I will do a wheel mod to this chassis. I went ahead and painted it to see what needs fixin. I will shave off a little of the side skirts and try to contour them more. I removed the hood intake, because someone had stated that Skylines don't use hood scoops, and all the pics I reveiwed did not show any.

I used two sheets of .030 styrene, cut the skirts to shape and stacked two pieces to get the tickness I wanted. Now that I think about it, I may add a third to get closer to the ground. I can't lower the front anymore without interfearing with the steering arm.
