  originally i had planned to use my lancer body as my beater and the porsche as the pretty show shell, but if you could see the state of the porsche you d piss yaself laughing! 😀 so i m gonna pretty up the lancer.
  i m aiming for simplicity again, but i m aiming to make it look a little meaner. it s the body that i use with the camera and i thought a “stealth” theme was fitting. i won t be doing any real body reshaping, just a little ventilating. i could fix the windscreen but i quite like running this body without the windows so i probably wont bother with it at all.
  so here s a little progress action for ya ll.
  
  gotta love the “before” pic:dead: :8ball:

  …betty did you drop the paint off that or is just sprayed? STEALTH is good…stealth works for me…This body works great on the monster too 🙂

  the bottom pics are of the under coat stage. i did think about a fancy spoiler but extremities and me don’t mix! i’ll just stick with the stock one.:8ball:

  …good one betty…let me rephrase my question…Ok i got you thats it the undercoat 🙂 How much did you sand? Or is that a straight spray over the yellow shell which is in the shots above? I just want to know how much work you did BETWEEN those two shots 🙂 sorry for being cryptic…

  it’s cool:D i didn’t really label the pics. top left is the before shot, top right is after a hole filling and heavy sanding and at that point i cut out the bonnet holes and the grilles from the front. and the little groove in the roof is for the camera aerial.:8ball:

  i’m gonna do it this colour
  
  ran out of clear, so i’ll have a chance for it to harden nicely before continuing. it won’t be as stealthy as i first planned, i found some cool decals i wanna use:p:8ball:

  some more progress. i lost one of the tail lights and wasn’t able to make a convincing match so i made some outta tackle box plastic. and i screwed them on so hopefully they stay like this. i got the decals on and i had to have a sneak peak of what it will look like on a chassis. more to come…..:8ball:

  aaaaaaaaaaand we’re back! there’s a couple of things i really could have done better like the crooked front grill and those tail lights just aint quite right. but stuff it, i wanna trash it now!:p i threw a blue led under the hood to light up the chassis so it shines through the grills in a pimpin stylee! making plates was easy, print them up on marker paper (non bleeding). then i smeared some super glue on a tackle box (super glue won’t stick to this stuff) and placed the paper face down in the glue. smear more on the back and allow to dry (about 1 – 2 mins). peel it off, cut em out and there ya have it, poor man’s laminate!:D
  i staged the crap outta these first pics by removing the shocks for that lowrider look and used some stealthy black wheels and nuts to finish it off.
  
  and this is what it looks like for real
  
  so not as stealthy as i first planned, but these things always take a few detours along the way!:8ball:

  Just a thought why don’t put neon light at that shell where the side skirt is so your car would look cars in 2fast2furious with blue lights glowing from below
  
  But anyway top stuff i love it!

  That certainly is the final coat of the standard Betty.K paint job.
