Widebody progress

-Jan 6th 07-

Well, I thought id share my progress so far... I received my widebody panels afew months ago and did nothing with them.
tonight I decided to get some work done and this is where i got to.





And i picked up these badboys a couple days ago

usually i would have walked away from these just because im more into drift, but they were so cheap i couldnt refuse ..$40... not to mention they are almost new.

most of the body line is there, i had just filled it from the center of the wheel arch to the door because i had to match the height of it to the door.

as for filler and materials, yes it will be very hard to remove them when someone crashes the car lol. the panels were fitted, outlines, drilled and marked for rivets, then the panel was taken off and the surface was prep'd, then panels were then bonded to the car using proforms panel epoxy. then sanded flush on the edges, and overlaid long strand fiberglass around the edges. then using bondoglass i filled the rest in, lol, and thanks

as for wheels, i honestly dont know yet, i scooped up some nissan sentra 17" SE-R wheels for now though... but im keeping my eye open for some 10 inch wide wheels
