Title: Tell me what you think
Post by: 4bangen on January 24, 2008, 05:01:07 PM
I have been working on a scale model of sasha to judge wether my ideas will look good or not, so tell me what you think so far.

The model looks great and I really like the garage scene you put together. I don't know about that giant hole in the hood though.

That's kind of something like I was going to do with the FMIC and fab up some ductwork to basically route the air up and over the car.  Not sure I'd have enough room now once the I6 is in place.

I understand the purpose of it and it makes perfect sense, but aesthetically when combined with a cowl hood, it's just not right.
On a stock hood fabbed up with the right kind of louvers, it would look awesome.
I know that it's just a mock up model though.

hahaha!  I didn't even notice the garage scene in the back!  That's killer!

Model looks good, but I agree, the big hole is no good.  The wheels and stance look pretty sick though!

And just a note, there should be a mode on your camera for up close shots.  Check your manual, they will come out crisp and clear!

The camera is realy old, it is on the close setting!lol Those are as good as it gets. I'm getting a new camera next month.

The hood will be a little shorter in real life about a 1 to one and a half inch cowl. The extractor will dip deeper, and I'm still designing a scavenger box that will catch air going under the car and rout it up and through the hood.

I think you should sell your car and build more models. JK. I agree with the others. If the hole in the hood was a little smaller, it would probably look pretty cool. I'd practice on a s hood though, don't cut up your TC hood.

Yes...it looks odd with a cowl hood....

Oh dont worry, I'm waiting on a plain hood to do this, my TC hood will stay unmolested! Infact it's going to go on my livingroom wall, and everytime I run a faster time It's going to be written on the hood with a paint pen.

thanks, I have it in my head, so I have to build it! I think the real one is going to be realy slick, and I am realy going to get a kick out of it when people ask where I got it from:)

man I kinda like the hood too but with some kind of mesh I think it would look a bit more complete.. as for the model garage sceen background that's pretty freakin killer, and as for that huge ass shop that your actual TC is in, wow, I wish i had something like that to work in.

I should also point out that It's not often on this board, quite rare actually that someone's doing any sort of body modification these days, so kudos to you.

Thanks, I'm actualy learning from one of the best body men in North texas. He's taken me under his wing and is teaching me everything he knows. I'm realy lucky to be friends with this guy. Got the doner hood lastnight $40 not to bad of a deal.
