LOOKS GREAT
Just wondering, are you going to remove the side molding when you paint? I can give you a couple of pointers on that if you are, let me know if you want that info.

Thanks, I am game for all the advise, tips, and help I can get.

I never really understood mechaphilia before, but I want to fuck your car in the ass.

(this is a joke)




(maybe)




(no really, it's a joke)

yeah me too!baby gots back! (im totally serious)

Thanks...........................I think.

You'll need to cover your exhaust pipes with the female rubber, just in case.

LOL jack!

hmmm...as i see? you allready lost the moldings on rear bumper..would be a bit weard? if they still stay on front....it would be ok on sides i guess..could loos the ones on front bumper...and if would want tottaly clean then on sides...but...for 'safety' would better keep the side ones...there are allways some bastards on parking lot's who keep hitign ther car doors against other cars...

The molding on the front will be smoothed just like the rear.

I was looking at some other posts and saw some in-process photos of the interior. Is that finished? I never saw completed photos.

In addition to your modification skills you are going to need to be a professional photographer!

My rub strips may have stopped a few door dings but there's plenty they didn't stop. They may be too low to stop truck doors. Best defense is not to have the Riv where it can be dinged.

amen!

i want my name on the list for the first set of bumpers you make

I can't work on the interior until I get the car back from paint. Then the focus turns back to the audio/interior build. Your right about the need to be a professional photographer, I wish I could take a descent picture. In the end the most important thing is to document the progress. In particular the parts that will not be visible when the project is finished.

We all appreciate what you are doing. Keep it up.

Thanks,
The build is taking a while and it still has a long way to go especially the interior and audio system, but I am having a blast.

Thats my GTX smart ass. Currently being fully shaved, coilovers tucking 19s, and a fully built L32 spitting out 400+ FWHP

Want some

I gotta admit, I was very skeptical at first. I did not like how I thought it would end up looking. But, I've got to say, it looks pretty good.

It would be cool if you could do a series of pics that circles the car, then we could get a better sense of how it looks in relation to the rest of the car.

(I wonder what the shipping would be on something like that to send to canada...)

You and Corey are doing some serious body work on your cars! Can't wait to see how a Riv with shaved bumpers looks...

just a tip since your doors have groves, make sure you weld in filler plates. that thick of body will will crack. do to the different strenghts

I am not getting rid of the molding on the doors.
