so "Talon" everywhere else is "blankboy" here?
weird.

anyways. so far it looks okay. I hope you plan on sanding stuff down to smooth it out. I know you're in the "making of" stage and all, so it's hard to constructively criticize at this point besides hoping you smooth stuff out and fill some stuff in.

Yeah this was my first name before i got Talon . But mabey you can change it to Talon for me cause your like the creator and stuff... But speaking of smoothing stuff out I was getting really anoyed by that little dip i made ( you can see it in pic 3 ) so i used some bondo and straightend up both sides

Looks WAY better now and more relistic ...... And it is so damn slamed cause the chassi accutallly is higher than the body line

But ill get that figured out some how .. Mabey with my old convertibal top i have for my eclipse if i can find it

yea you're right - I could - but I'm not gonna for posterity sakes.
looks like a great improvement.
keep us posted on the progress.

by the way, are you as annoyed as I am about the 'mis-modling' of the headlights on the accord? (as in they sit at different levels, especially the side 'blinker' light.)

Hey that's looking like it's starting to take shape. The only things I would suggest before you paint, fill in that back wheel well to fix the radius, and it looks like you're using a fairly coarse sandpaper to sand with, I would finish it up with some 400 grit before I painted.

blankboy · Post by **blankboy** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 12:41 pm

.... I think i have some 400 grit sand paper.. Accutally it is made for wet /dry sanding for cars

.But at the moment im using 80 grit

And crazydave... The flames are gonna be dedicated to you

Black shiny car with silver flames on the hood and sides

Wow! 80 grit? That's like sanding your car down on the sidewalk.

Yeah that 400 grit is the kind you want to use. A light wet sanding after you lay the primer and let it dry, will help out too.

Since you've used such a coarse grit, you might want to start with something like 200 or 350 grit and work you way up to 400 grit. Since it will take 400 grit longer to take out the deep scratches.

Thanks, can't wait to see them.

Eh, definitely needs more work. Do not rush man. Take the mask off and work on getting it smooth, like yo mama's ass!

If the windows aren't already clear, don't try to clear them, and if they are clear, don't sand them. Seeing as how you've sanded them, I hope they're black.

And one more thing, the rear end doesn't look to hot. I hope you're done some work to it since the first pics.

anyway, keep working.
