Yeh, 4 sure ... I was thinking of getting some dented panels to practice on as well..

I've got too many plans going through my head at the moment, but once I get this done, I am thinking about going for exaggerated front wheel arches as well to complete the look

the wide body idea is good to allow you to buy some decent deep dish rims ad make it look hot...the standard shape doesn't really allow you to do it...

lol thats actually what got me started on this whole thing.

wasnt looking for deep dish as per say, but wanted 255s, did a quick measure up and realised a blind man will probably still be able to see them sticking out

and michael, if i dont get too drunk tomorrow, i'll try to draw up something on what i'm looking for, and we'll attack it with a magic marker on the night cruise

Don't really wanna change my wheels but I guess I might have to ... esp if I widen the rear wheel arches by a lot... I would seriously consider getting some spacers though..

if u dont it will look a bit spastic... deep dish suit the wide kits...in fact many people do it just for that reason. Dish for the win.

Deep dish would look hot on an FTO ... Esp with the wide kit ... BUT ...

Mine is just stock, and people still ask if my car is a Supra ... I mean c'mon, they are totally different cars ....

ah yeah... still a bit harder to imagine the concept on paper... I think I might just bring my Rolling Shell next time we're out (Model FTO kit) & some sculpy ( or plasticine cause its cheaper

).. will be much easier to work with..
I'm gonna plan out all my modifications on the kit first

oh & bring your dremel! gonna need to be hacking into it a bit

mmm, you can't sculpt blutac very well, it just stretches & goes all mong, crazy clarks plasticine = cheaper anyways ... I have all the sculpting bits & peices ... so yeah ... if i get some time during the week I'll have a go at sculpting it anyways, might even have a go at carving it up & doing the rest of my planned mods...
