Dayum... thats pretty close to whats going on mine (as far as metal widebody with rear vents) but im getting front vents as well...

My body shop is doing the work and he said he's very much up for the work...

Hoping to get it done this year... Will keep you informed of course

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

no no no....get drunk first, the lines might end up better..

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 ...

Be prepared to get ask if your car is a Supra ... lol ...

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

next thursday night, i should have work but i can meet u guys at clive peters at mt gravatt at 9:30?
bring the drawings anyway
and i cant bring my dremel, well i can but good luck finding a power point hahaha, i'll bring a knife and a stabby attatchment for the screw driver (u know the pointy ended one)

and just bring some blue tack , cheap and easy, and if u have a clay scalpture kit (u know with the funny shaped knives etc)

...i'm so technical lol

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...

tiny pod filter lol

yeah i was thinking of buying a model fto as well, but i could only find gpxs, so i thought.... nuh not stylish enough lol
