Been a while so thought i'd through up some pictures of what its looking like now.

Cheers guys. Working on some wiring and aiming to get it running next. Then a lot more finishing touches I think!

so i guess no one cared about my update?

Just an update of what i been up to lately with it all. More progress on the wide body. Painted the motor parts and dropped it in. Fitting oil cooler and radiator and some other bits here and there. Cut up the boot lid. Cut up front fenders.Also started molding a roof scoop from more clay.

Yeah I guess it'll be like a more aggressive gtr style but built to suit the body lines of the 4 door. Thanks for the positive feedback so far!

I've just been using a heater lamp and taking layers off. It's slow but has been doing the job so far. That sounds like a pretty good plan. I'll go suss it out. Yeah I've just found a local modeling shop that have been able to get a hold of it for me. And I see using like a pinstripe tape is a good way to follow my body lines and help as guide for the shape I'm after?

I'm from Perth and the 3D design is the closet course I can find to industrial design. It's very much based around product design and I think has specific units for transport design but that's the best I can find in my area. Yeah is chavant clay I'm using. I'll swing over and have a look at your build and I'm sure I'll find some useful stuff!

That's awesome. It's my first project but I would really like to get into car body design as a job so I'm going to swap from studying architecture to 3D design and hopefully that'll get me on the right track. So any tips and tricks would be great!

It's industrial modeling clay. I'm going to shape it all up and once I'm happy with it I'll take a mold from it and remove all the clay.

Got a bit more of an update. Started to design my wide body.

so here's some photos of the build so far.

First post and new to the forum game. I'm new to skylines and turbo cars and all this stuff so getting a fair bit of help and guideance from a mate. My plan is to build a race car and do some track work and really wanna have a go at Tarmac rally here in WA. So anyways went out and bought my self an rb26 to start with and have since done a bottom end rebuild and got my mates old man to cut the diff off the sump and got a hold of a tomei baffle and organizing an oil return at the moment. Also bought lots of other cool shit here and there for the motor. I got a garret t04z all ready to go for it as well. So now I've gone out and bought an r33 4 door and starting stripping the engine bay and trying my hand at a bit of stitch welding to strengthen that bad boy up and getting ready to lay some paint hopefully next week at some stage. Got a couple of other bits with the car like tein coilovers and an orc twin plate clutch. Got a few pictures here and there but not sure how much stuff people are gonna wanna see till it all starts to come together. I'll search through and maybe take some current progress snaps and post them up to show whats happening with it.
