G35 to GTR conversion

Alrighty guys, today I began taking off parts of the body that i dont need. Hood, bumper, rear bumper, side skirts headlights and taillights. Fenders will come off as well but i will need them on for when i scan the car as a reference. I need to take off the rear spoiler too but its glued on there pretty well, anybody know a technique to get it off? tomorrow, i will start 3D scanning the car into a 3D model, that process could take a day or a few. The parts that i dont need are up for grabs if anybody needs them.

Take off the trunk lining u can see all the screws/bolts and clips that need to be removed, you will also need to heat up around the spoiler with a heat gun to soften the 3M tape that's holding it on as well.

cool, i did take the bolts off but the glue is keeping it on there pretty solid. ill try a heat gun that should work well, thanks.

Day 3. I prepped the car for scanning by masking the edges of each panel for definition, as well as adding lots of dots for reference points. I took 14 separate scans all together and had to stitch them together at the end using a program. Overall the scan is good, i will have to compare it to dimensions from the actual car to see where the deformities are and make adjustments. After that i can start 3D modeling the new body to fit the car.
