Lol its actually interlocking eva foam floor mats good for mach up purposes from home depot I use it as a base for what I build off off and its also what I use to design my costumes. Very cheap an easy to work with, with the use of a heat gun an dremel examples of past things ive done if you would like any info feel free to ask brother you got my number an I hve losts of pics...
(Kits an hoods you would make a mach up an fiberglass over then seporate)
Example of some things you can do









Made useing same materials but skulls were glassed over an dremeled
Example 2





You can get pretty intricate with your design after some practice honestly I never really thought to use this material to make body kits before untill recent ly

This is how it started out








Ok now back onto topic I just wanted to show the types of things that canbe done with materials

>
As far as those pieces go im gonna chnging an evolving those to compliment the hood the finished produc will look nothong like that but will goo well together base off pic in my head ....ohh an merial is sandable btw

Working on hood as I post this cold as hell outside lol

Very minor progress made very minor

Damn this only keeps getting better and better cant wait to see it finished!

Progress was made.... cold as hell...

Uhhhhhh no lol

A bit off topic but how much $$$ do you want in order to make me a bleach hollow mask?

Really though, huge props for being original and using what you have. Companies need more people like you to build off the wall car parts for both the exterior and interior. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Lol weeeelll thats why I made the mask I gotta detail it still then but a freind comissioned me to make him some props including that umm let me make a mold of it first in order to make a glass copy and ill let you man. Moneys kinda an issur right now but in a couple eeeks it wont be.
Ohhh but keep in mind its kinda a mid change ichigo mask not quite full hollow kinda in between. And I gotta order hair to add into as well unless you dont want that. for once I'm working on this car early in the day instead of bed at night lol ummm pics pics pics lol







Finished putting together a good majority of this today but im working on it as wr speak as well...

Sweet deal man, i think im going to try and pick up some of that matting your using and give it a shot once. I have some ideas to modify a stock hood and a preface bumper but i never knew what to use as a suitable start material.

Cool let me know if an when you need anything as far as help probly some things you will need to know definitely before actually cutting or doing any mods umm message me if you need and ill get in touch either by phone or message wise... it is easy to work with but a bitch to actually get to a point to where things start come together....

WOW! dude that is inflippingcredible! you make me want to go out and buy the materials to do this!... but then I remember Im broke as hell right now LOL

so I went to home depot the other day and found out they sell that stuff for like 20$ for just 4 sheets!
on ebay on the other hand you can buy 16 sheets of the same exact thing for like 63$! so technically compared to home depot you get 4 for free and free shipping after taxes and everything.
so as soon as I can, Ill buy 16 of those for sure

Lol yeah

How is such a one-piece body kit reliable when vehicle is going at top speed? What I mean to ask is not about aerodynamics but safety of not seeing the body piece flying over your head on the highway, because it doesn't seem that it could be attached very firmly...

I like your skills though

>
This is just the start after ive got to a point where I like the design. another copy will be made as one complete piece and reinforced with a skeleton underneath an it will be at least a minimum of four layers thick (at minimum) This peice that is made from foam will not be used it will be copied however in either carbon or fiberglass and used on the final construction process. Final product should be able to withstand abuse an tests I put it through if not it willl not be used. Im no stranger to saftey and everything would be a major waste if I disregaurded that aspect of the build.

where is a decent place to get the gelcoat, fiberglass and rollers kit. something really cheap?

Dont know of many lol costs have been rising youll hve to shop around. ..

Sooo anybody got any ideas should I rebuild the bottom half and do a different style on the bottom sections open to ideas people

Keep it as is but add louvered vents that follow the same curve

Wow dude, I just realized you lived in San Antonio, Im in Corpus. When I get back from this deployment I really need to head that way. Great build man, cant wait to ee the finished project. Looks amazing.

Thanks an yeah let me know I'm down to meet up. Man

Umm what you mean lowered draw ur idea out and ill see about including it depending on how it differs from mine im curious lol

>
lol
louvered= slotted

so slotted vents, but not sure where he's talking

something like this?

yeah that's what I was kind of curious about where he was talking about as far as placement and style

oh damn phone I didn't realize it changed what I typed earlier to lowered lol sorry I didn't catch all the misspelling sometimes xD

Ok somewhat like this viper's hood, except minus the bulge and scoop in the middle. Like if those louvered vents went uninterrupted from one side to the other.
I'm my own questionable taste the center "spine" jumping over the large vent in the cylinderhead area is too high and out of place, and the vent itself is too large and open. So the best remedy IMO would be to remove or shorten(down to surrounding hood height, it shouldnt bulge up) the center spine/support jumping the vent and add large louvered vents to fill the giant hole in the hood(visually not aerodynamically). Maybe 3 to 6 seperate fins/louvers following the same curvature at the leading edge of the vent.

If you desire the large open vent and distaste the louver idea, might I suggest using a screen or perforated material at the base of the vent(so applied from under the hood). This way you don't fill in the sexy curve of the vent but you block the engine compartment from view. I think exposing the engine will make the car seem less substantial and make the vent seem more unnecessary(no mystery of whether some monsterous machine is gulping air thru that hole). Id still recommend droping the center support/spine closer to the curvature of the rest of the hood line.
Anyways I'm sorry to sound picky, it looks awesome so far and I envy you fabrication skills.

hey guys its probably gonna be about another 2 weeks or so before I can post any more updates kind of at a stopping point. I gotta finish another other project car im working on so I'll keep you posted if you have any questions shoot me a message and I'll get back to you or post ideas here feedback is always good in my book ^_^

Ok this is I think the final vent design rough version befre cleaning it up sn finalizing... what is the verdict like dislike opinions welcome
