more mad scientist pics lol, fabrication picts hood fenders and front end one complete piece Options

[deathdoakill]

weeeelllll these are just some pics of an idea i had an remember we are thinking outside the box here not the traditional look. so im gonna try to finish this before my next surgery a little before the 14th feed back always welcome here as well as ideas
very rough fabrication pics prepping to start fiberglass mold
and some might notice the fender is cut in half already and recessed in a bit i will be fabricating a new version to go with the new hood which will tilt forward

[Tigawoods]

hmm curious to see the result of this

[kurt95gt]

One peace front end?
Looks like your off to a good start

[yellowchinaman]

OMFG!

[jordisonjr]

Won't your car just shatter if you ever get into an accident?

[deathdoakill]

weeellll lets hope i dont get into an accident lol naahhh right now the car is gonna be down indeffinetly until i swap in the new engine(spun rod bearing ) an yes the it had crossed my mind and im putting some thght into strengthening the finished product i have a cupple rolls of kevlar an about 6 yards of carbon fibr to play with as well but who knows accidents tend to be pretty unforgiving as far as custom cars go or any for that matter.

[Syaoran]

Not to be an ass or anything but I'm guessing this is now going to be a MR-Celica right? lol

[kurt95gt]

Nope pretty sure its staying Fwd/awd if he converts it

[deathdoakill]

lol ill answer that one when i get more into it and have pics

[deathdoakill]

And no not Mr2 celica lol but not something you would NOT normally see in a celica thgh I'll get to that later thigh.

[Lil-Joe101]

Deff wanna c how this turns out. Pretty epic so far.

[deathdoakill]

surgery got pushed back to the 6th so ill be working on this again this week

[deathdoakill]

more pics to come people almost able to walk again lol

[mgnt232]

Cant wait to see the end man, and get better soon

I just bought my supra headlights, and debating between 2 different bumpers. Maybe ill post them up and get some feed back. But i will be able to work on my car in a couple months and create my science project

[deathdoakill]

Ok walking again still painful but doable. so I started getting ready for fiberglass ing tonight an will have updates in about a week or two as money is a bit of an issue at this point in time since I've been on leave from work .so when money is coming back in I'll be finishing the project an making more progress again.

Will start fiberglass by tomorrow after more prep work.



Ok I'm thinking about cutting the bumper in half where the blue stops and having the bottom section stationary for easier. Removal since all that is taped up will be one complete piece plus makes it easier when separating parts later
Or option two front end and hood an fenders all one complete piece but makes the process a lot harder to do. What do you guys think ?





I am also thinking about changing the side skirts and rerouting the exhaust to come out through the bottom section of the side skirt since the engine swap we are doing is a v 6 but not a major fan of that style



Or should I leave these side skirts on there????

[mgnt232]

supra skirts

[njccmd2002]

[1000_needles]

the purpose of the hole in the fender is to let hot air flow out, not cold air flow in....
looking good

[deathdoakill]

yezz sir and thanks... not so much negative feedback with the project im pleasantly surprised lol

[rave2n]

Looks interesting.

My only negative...is doing that to a GT4 hood...could have put some good use to that, and you could have fabbed something unique instead.

[deathdoakill]

actually yes im planing on doing a different hood an possibly selling ths completed gt4 molded piece later on down the line but not at this point im not sure if im gonna have to change the design because of the engine swap were doing or not thats gonna be a deciding facter here but ive got a really cool design im working on though ill show you guys when im at that point though

[mgnt232]

cant wait to see a new design idea, especially some new hood ideas. Ive been drawing up some hood ideas of my own, just not 100% yet on any.
And may sound dumb but what happens to the rain water in the top of a gt4 hood? does it just fall on the engine?lol seems kinda dumb
Cause i got some ideas but the water is the only problem im still wondering about

[deathdoakill]

lol no it has a duct built into it to rout the water out from falliong on the engine an yeah its lotus elise ish hood i was working on lol looks good on paper but we will see ;P

[deathdoakill]

ohhhhh hey nic i forgot im gonna be making a prototype kit for the celi. ive been working with this new material that is alot cleaner an easier to use... an cheap i think youd be interested in lerning to use

[mgnt232]

yeah deff just let me know the details about it i reodered my supra front (first order fell through) and may be able to start the project around thanksgiving. even though thats sooooo far away lol.
but send me the details on the new stuff when u got it worked out, thanks again

[deathdoakill]

Ok it's been a long time I hvent been doing much either you hate it or love it or what ever lol overfender is nearly done got a long way to go still








The front is just an idea I'm playing with pay no attention lol

[mgnt232]

loving it

[Special_Edy]

I actually hate bodykits and all things fiberglass, but that is one badass looking car.

You should totally paint it like a stealth jet, And how wide of a wheel will you be able to run?

[mkernz22]

looks like something out of death race! pretty awesome man!

[deathdoakill]

Thanks guys much appreciated glad you like the style of over fenders well wheel size is gonna be a considerable difference I've gotta finish my engine swap first thgh which is also a rear wheel drive conversion that's all I'm saying till it's done lol I just decided to finish the body first thgh before anything else.

[eazy2001x]

when your done.. if you can help with my lil project i would love it..

You should convert it from a fastback/hatchback to a flat back window like the old stingray corvettes.
Keep the pillars though

[deathdoakill]

Fiiiiiinnnalllyyyy my account is fixed I amost had to make a new one eazy yeah sounds like a plann message me any questions I hvent been able to post or reply since december but now its finally fixed l should be working on my car tomorrow ive been pretty much out of it with my surgeries an back still healing but I think im good to finally do some work now. so ill be once again posting pics its been too long an I need to get my front end done already if im going to start cutting off the front of the car to tube an rol cage it for the engine swap im doing so I gotta finally get rolling again.

Good idea but not quite the look im going for consdering iv already done a rear supra conversion plus I like my hatch as this will be an ocasional street/compition car when I deem it necasary...


Excuse my mispellings phones not to forgiving

[TheCreatorOf]

Keep the pillars though

you know that the low pressure point slows down the car, right? that was a problem on my 1991 MR2, thats why people make covers with vent holes like the ferrari F40, to at least reduce the drag created by the low pressure point behind the cockpit

[deathdoakill]

Very rough version still bu progress made...

[deathdoakill]

And this includes the wide body sectoon/flares as well... an yes there were big chunks which will be fixed later ran out of resins and had to go back to purchase more and of course it hardened creating clumps... later

[mkernz22]

Talk about weight reduction, I should do this with my whole entire front end!

[deathdoakill]

Its a major difference in weight but be careful if u plann to do this there are things/ precautions you need to take before doing this message me when you decide if you want to. an ill run you through it...

[njccmd2002]

Dang dude, when i saw the thread first i was like DAFUQ, but now that is see the concept, its amazing.

[deathdoakill]

Thanks man I appreciate it.

[deathdoakill]

Im actually considering changing my vent design on the hood itself not sure if I'm going to do this yet though...

[kurt95gt]

thats feakin sweet
in how many layers do you use ive been debating on trying to make a set of fenders
some input would be great

[deathdoakill]

As far as layers I would do a minimume of 4 to 8 layers being your max unless u wanna strengthen it more.

[playr158]

Mold release wax + vaccum bag setup would be your friend for this.
Should also think about forming ribs to strengthen the system

[deathdoakill]

Yeah im no stranger to that have a vacuum form table already but in this case this was the easiest method for this particular projct. An yes I do realize the need for forming some type of ribs underneath but at this point its to early for that I was considering carbon fiber but not sure about this route yet the design will most likely be changing so worring about strengthening will most likely come later...

[TheCreatorOf]

lol no it has a duct built into it to rout the water out from falliong on the engine an yeah its lotus elise ish hood i was working on lol looks good on paper but we will see ;P

you should post pictures of your concept art too, that way we can see faster where youre heading with this . I cant wait to see it finished!
I too plan to do some koenigsegg type deal with the front of the car, ill be using BMW headlights tho just to try something different since most people here just do subaru, supra, and dodge neon headlights. what I liked about the MR2 is that people werent limited to like 3 different headlight mods, they have over 30 different headlights they install and custom make for the MR2s... the FTO headlights were my fave. anyway back to topic,
I have to redo the whole font end, to make the body go with the headlights otherwise it wont look right, and this thread is very inspiring even tho im allergic to fiberglass :'( every time I mess with it days later I get like little water blister/pimples between my fingers. so I guess you should consider yourself lucky that doesnt happens to you too and props to you for the project so far its coming along very nice, and hope to see some lotus styling on the celica soon

[TheCreatorOf]

more pics to come people almost able to walk again lol

what do you mean "walk again" and "surgery" what happened to you? I hope you get better soon

[deathdoakill]

Yeah had surgery on my back bout 5 months ago and im scheduled for two more surgeries on my knees in a few months also... was at a red light an some nune slammed into me going 50mph never even hit the brakes. Did a number on me hence I was attacked by a flying nun lol...... il try an draw up some concept art for you guys later tonight at work as I dont see myself working to hard lol lol

WHAT!? thats horrible man! one time a guy went to the dealership and he told me the same thing happened to him, and the drunk driver after hitting him flew, hit a tree and died. damn man I hope everything goes well and hope you get back to being 100% and thanks for dedicating some time to give us updates

[deathdoakill]

Ok here some concept drawings just to give an idea these are by no means acurate I didn't use a ruler an drew this in 4 mins so no bashing I didn't have much free time at work today... these will possibly change depending on feed back will do better drawing s later....





This is just to give an idea I realize its a bit crooked lol xD

[deathdoakill]

Ok point of no return ive started to reshape an cut the hood for modding...

Either ill likt the finished product or I scrap it an start over again lol trial an error trail an error...

[deathdoakill]

Ok definitely liking this now I know ecactly where this is compared to what i pictured in my head and how im doing it an no I didnt actually put this on paper till u guys requested it

cant wait to see the finished product man

[deathdoakill]

Ok I tried a shorter version of vents and it looked horrible completly defeated the purpose so after some redesign ing this is what came up with....

[cheela]

that's looking pretty badass. keep it up!

[mgnt232]

damn you and your skills lol. what in the world is that stuff your using? and where did you buy it?
I could deff use something like that for some of my projects.

[playr158]

everyone has their own taste...but those arch things needs to go

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

[deathdoakill]

[img]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g28/deathdoakill/Costume%20designs/20120926_031809.jpg[/img









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

[deathdoakill]

everyone has their own taste...but those arch things needs to go

credit for the unique use of floor panels

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

[deathdoakill]

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

[deathdoakill]

Very minor progress made very minor

[TheCreatorOf]

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

[deathdoakill]

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

[diegohiga]

[deathdoakill]

Uhhhhhh no lol

[cyberblader1130]

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!

[deathdoakill]

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...

[cyberblader1130]

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.

[deathdoakill]

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....

[TheCreatorOf]

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

[Nihil]

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?

[deathdoakill]

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

[deathdoakill]

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

[Special_Edy]

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

[Lil-Joe101]

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.

[deathdoakill]

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

[deathdoakill]

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

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

[smkr3w]

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?

[deathdoakill]

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

[Special_Edy]

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.

[deathdoakill]

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 ^_^

[deathdoakill]

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

[mgnt232]

like i said interested to see how the hood turns out. any plans on it being done soon?

[deathdoakill]

Yes it should be done soon body wise two to three more months then ill paint the whole car but it won't be back on the road for at least another 6 months after that the engine swap it I'm doing on this car is complicated to say the least... that and I have to also get it roll caged and I have to the front end tubed for the engine swap I'm doing then redo the suspension. So long way to go but I'm hoping to have it completly done an back on the road a few months into the of 2014 the engine swap thread will be started soon but its staying under wraps until the thread is started (nick you know what im talking about kinda mentioned it but its still a secret buuuuutttt I will say this in case u forgot twin turbo brotha lol
