Is the owner a member here? I have some spy photos of some new work but don't want to spoil anything if it is not public info. I only had my cell with me for the pics.
that would be mine. I just got back from Brandons to check out the progress. I cant believe how fast he works, he said it should be done by the end of next week! (2 weeks total)

I have some cell phone pics of the progress, I can post them if you like. He does great work. He had a side pannel done, I watched him make the hood, bend it and then start the side pieces. It is going to flow real nice.

The graphics arent what I'm having done, I've actually had them for awhile. Never really cared for it much......

the really cool part (I thought I got a pic of it, but didn't) is how he extended the flair of the dash onto the side pannel.
He left the side of the hood (last pic) long so he could match the radius of the side pannel but you can see the height of the hood where it sits ontop of the side pannel. and it will taper down in height as it goes forward towards the nose.

Not to get off subject, but I have been looking at the available LED light bars, which one did you have and what sucked about it. Thanks.

took these with my digital today. He has half of the passenger side pannel made and the pannels behind the A arms on the drivers side and welded the section of the hood that was only tacked before. Looking good. These may be enough for you to play with some photoshop too.

Wow quite a difference!
Will the side scoops be sealed off or open?
matt86m
Aug 12 2009, 04:02 PM
Some mesh will be welded in. Also an inverted scoop in the hood is going in.

Thanks for the pics matt. I had someone go by there earlier this week and snap a pic too.
I did a little photochoping myself..............I really suck at this so dont laugh to hard.
this is kinda the look im going for (I think) any photoshop pros willing to do some work on this? I'd like to keep it simple, probably 2 tone.

DTM...that looks great....you just need a shadow under the overhang.
I hope you don't mind me putting one in.
I may have to have some fun with this car.
I'm sure the othrs here will chime in too.
Great looking car.

Looks real nice. You could put cup holders in the edge of the hood that connects to the side panel

Aug 12 2009, 07:51 PM
Who are you going to use for the paint? I have a car that will need some paint and some basic graphics,,,and I'll do the photoshop request too.
I like how he made the hood flow into the dash too.

Brandon said he has a powdercoater and paint guy close by.
matt86m
Aug 12 2009, 09:46 PM
He uses Specialized powder coatings and maybe Color Zone - Matt, he painted my hood and intercooler scoop. I will probably take my car to him for an estimate. Both are in HB. Just wondered if you had someone in mind.

I think he told me it would be done either today or wed. I did tell him no rush though. I know unforseen things come up, so no biggie.
