1. Flare the wheel well, and bend to the desired shape

2. Place fiber and resin on top of flared metal, then place the wheel arches on top. I used 5 sheet metal screws to keep it inplace, then use fiberglass hair for the bonding, don't forget to scuff up with 100 grit where ever you are bonding.

3. The body work begins.

 

Some more pics

 

As you can tell it started to rain. I'll take some more updated pics when I can.

Been pretty busy, sorry so late.

 

Still working on it. I am doing most of the work outside, and the weather has not been all that great.

Completed a little more work on the arche, but also mounted the rear spoiler. Cut about 10lbs of weight from the trunk lid, every bit helps. Then bonded the spoiler to the trunk lid. Spoiler was cut to save weight as well. Stock lid weighs around 22lbs, with the spoiler bonded to it, it weighs in at 23lbs.

Few more

 

so where are you located? doesn't look like the USA to me. you in England?

 

Yep, logistics is a b!tch

 

Tony,

Wow, very cool ( and gutsy) work! Must have been hard to start cutting on a GTR like that?

Looks like you are making good progress. I can't wait to see more pics! That will be one very unique GTR when finished!

I like your signature too! After driving a lot of cars at the track, the R32 GTR was my favorite as well. I really liked my C5 Corvette but the GTR was just so much more nimble. Mine was a 1991, so I can only imagine what it must have been like when it was new. If I go back to Japan, I'm definitely getting at least one more...

Cutting was easy, I was already at the point of no return when I bought the shell

Unique, that I what I am shooting for. A muscle GTR if you will.

I have said it before, when you just look at 1/4 numbers, and what the car will do on the dyno, it just does not give you what a complete pleasure it is to drive one.

I'll keep updating this site, from time to time.
