got some mud on the fenders yesterday. about 2 coats so far.

they're starting to take shape. LOTS of sanding, then will be followed by some evercoat Rage Gold filler to get it super smooth

few more pics from last night. ran over the duraglas with a layer of rage gold. got it smooth now. still have to attack the bottom of both fenders, might get after that tonight.

its finally taking shape, so i'm gettin pretty stoked.

This week after i get the fronts figured out, i need to talk to my body guy to figure out the front bumper. might have to get that pulled out and fiberglassed so that it will match up with the fenders

so did you mold that hood yourself... or is there somewhere to get it like that... the hood is the best part of your car in my opinion, well besides everything else

I had the hood custom made last year. theres nowhere to buy one similar as it was custom welded/shaped to my liking out of sheet metal.

thanks for the compliments!

maybe you should take a look at the stock fenders and compare. its an inch wider on each corner. if ya saw it in person you'd def be able to tell.

Umm.. just look at the front wheels and the placement. They sit about an inch or so indented toward the frame lol. With the pulling and rolling of the fenders, the front wheels and the rears also, will come out a bit more with some spacers. He said he was gonna get some 25mm's so that'll push them out a little bit more. Expect the rear wheels to be out a tad more, and the fronts to be pretty much flush with the new rolling of the fender I'm guessing. Overall product looks great. With that new fresh coat of paint broski this ride is gonna be looking sick as always. I wasnt too sure about the audi logos on the front 1/4 panels either, but after that paint job, I think they're going to add some nice texture to the car.

PS. Nice flames in the dust on the windshield :P
