240Zed Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 That reminded me of this one I saw on classiczcars.com a few years back. (yeah its just a photoshop, not a real car). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantagon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Looks like the front end off a RA28 Celica, doesn't look too bad. Looks remind me of a Jensen Interceptor also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filmjay Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well I put my first layer of filler over everything, I am using my brothers advise and using spackle mud. It sands fast be easy to remove after I am done with the template, but is slow drying. here are some pics. Looks like the front end of the new Dodge Challenger imo.

240z8 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 That reminded me of this one I saw on classiczcars.com a few years back. (yeah its just a photoshop, not a real car). To me, that photoshopped Z looks like a c110 Skyline. BTW Master Mechanic, your front end looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnosez Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm thinking to the wind, it looks like the side of a brick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I'm thinking to the wind, it looks like the side of a brick. The 240Z is a brick to the wind...I doubt this will hurt the aerodynamics much Besides, it's nothing that a little HP can't compensate for anyway Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 will these be for sale, would make one hell of a drift front end, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 What makes it a good "drift" front end? i think it would just look awesome, its kinda like doing a s13 front end swap, its just drifter style to me, idk, im a stupid kid haha, i think lots of stupid things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caen fred Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 That reminded me of this one I saw on classiczcars.com a few years back. (yeah its just a photoshop, not a real car). Yes it's mine... it's just a cliped Skyline front end to a JDM S30. It was just a Photoshop quicky for the fun of it, but if you're going the full scale way... I want one!

MastersMechanic Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well I haven't worked on it alot, the spakle mud doesn't work very well I had to sand it off and start over with glazing putty But It is amazing how hard it is to perfect one side to be the same as the other.(time consuming) anyway I am not making any to sell I will make two and if any one wants the mold (if it holds up) they can have it and make their own. Don't want to bother with any "It doesn't fit right" or "It broke During shipping problems", anyway sorry It is taking so long, my wife bought my bmw back for me and I have been spending sometime making it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastersMechanic Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oh, and about the brick part, think of it as a 1850lbs brick with a 13.2:1 500+hp power plant, with a 200 horse nitrous backup. I think it will push the wind back. remember the highest speed limit I know of is 70 mph and I am a cop so you know i wouldn't exceed the speed limit by to much (hehehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastersMechanic Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 New Pictures. Some pics of the brick. a pic of the wind mover. and pic of the time waster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan5138 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Definately interesting and unique. Great work done so far... only one thing bugs me though. Are you going to transition the flat part on the bottom into the rest of the front? Like a little bit of a bevel, and maybe transition that flat part into the fender a tad too. Just suggestions and my 2 cents, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 But It is amazing how hard it is to perfect one side to be the same as the other.(time consuming) any art societies around your area? if you can find a sculpture artist around, they do that sort of making-things-look-good for a living and can probably have both sides identical working just by eye on a first pass than you can with hours of time and effort and a lot of measuring jigs... Might be worth getting the side to side matching done by a pro sculpturist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
