'Lost Birds' Time Attack Build

Post by **GroundForceOne** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 8:34 pm

put one of the fenders back on and took some pics out of the garage. also made the pictures a little larger because it's kinda hard to the whole idea when they are small.

...and then the 'sad' side of the car. that's not rust at the bottom either, just dirt I didn't clean off yet since the other side was priority.

Weeee, coming along!

Thanks for the update!

So sick. Your girl has some real talent. Can't wait to see the finished product.

+1 on the clear bra idea. I'd see if you can get a roll of it so you can do everything around the fenders to keep those stone chips out of your clear coat.

this thread is so insane! lets hope that thing never sees rain until you get the clear coat on lol

wow that is beautiful. it is cool how the design dose not seem to compromise on the shape of the car that must take alot of time to just think of what to put down on the car.

this could definitely get in a magazine when it's all done

Post by **kozanatos** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 9:02 pm

probably look even better faded (imo)Would make it look like not tryhard just styleSUPERCLUTCH

Post by **GroundForceOne** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 9:13 pm

it's not going to fade, i clearcoated everything that was done so far two days ago, and put it back together yesterday.. just gotta get the rest finished up which will resume on Saturday!!! What do you guys think about the rims?? just stuck it next to the car for a quick look myself.

Post by **TJcars2** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 11:31 pm

I don't like the white rim. I like the ones on there better. They go with the car better.

Post by **raremotive** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 12:16 am

see if you can go with black/gun metal and something with less spokes..

The reason the one's on the car are coming off is because the offsets are too high. they are +30 or something like that. I'm not decided on the white myself either. I picked these up specifically because they are pretty rare. They were made by Enkei for GT-Rs only. around the center cap area it's stamped BNR GTR

I like the rims, just not in that color

Post by **kozanatos** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 7:51 pm

I think your original rims are fine, the white ones don't really look better, but not bad though. Stick with the ones you got!

man like i said on the other forum ,your car is one of the sickest R33 that i have seen in my life. great details . keep up the good work

Post by **youngmoney** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 11:40 pm

i think the new enkei's are sweet. reminds me of the endless r34 gt500 car

Post by **TJcars2** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:39 am

If you wanna use the new ones at least hit them with a black powder coating. I just personally don't like thin spokes unless they're meshies.

we'll see how it goes. i mean rims are 2 minutes tops easy to change so if they don't work out.. on to the next set...

Allison came back yesterday and started on the hood.

Ya know, I am usually a big fan of symmetry on paint/vinyls/etc., but for some reason, this art work flows together really well. I am liking this a lot and can't wait to see the finished product.

It's just my opinion and not at all important, but the only thing I think is a bit...off...is the katakana Skyline on the wing, but, hey, it's not my car.

Everything about this paint job is EPIC!

Post by **kozanatos** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 7:03 pm

I keep thinking you have a fake front plate *sigh*

thanks! As far as the writing on the wing, it's there, but the car is so wild, I can't ever focus on one thing for too long. I like how tight the design is, too, because at a distance it almost just looks like a solid color.

Hood is half done-

Pic with no hood and a friends Stagea in the back, haha

Post by **USsil80** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 5:40 am

thanks!, it's feeling like the home stretch now...

hood is done with 'Lost Birds Racing' logo, and there are some birds on the hood. see if you can spot them, rear bumper is next!

That hood looks great! I think I see a bird diagonally to the right of the "T" in the "lost". Are you going to do the roof too?
