Starting NEW Body Kit from scratch (Page 1/14)
Mailmule SEP 21, 10:37 AM
Just a test here. If anyone is interested to see more photos of my progress, just pm me. I don't want to just start throwing pics up that nobody wants to see. I decided to go ahead and make my own body kit. I am starting with just some Construction Grade Foam and Balsa Wood for the form. Surprisingly the foam seems to be resilient to everything I have thrown at it (ie..crazy glue, resin, body filler etc...) So I am hoping when I go to actually start glassing my mold, it will hold up and I will be able to get more than 1 usable panel.











This is where I am at now. After spending hours designing this side scoop, I realized it was to low for the actuall drivers side intake, so I am trying to figure out how to keep it in place and make it functional on the other side. Any suggestions or comments?

Lamborghini style,...I like !



I often wondered how that would look on a fiero. Looks great IMO.

Good luck and keep those pics coming.


P.S. Might take a bit of tweeking, but couldn't you build a channel into the underside of the sidepanel that flows down to the lower intake that could make it functional and still maintain the asthetics ?
