Glex25 Official Build thread
One point of advice.... pull that masking tape off the headlights and use blue painters tape. I had my headlights taped up while doing bodywork and getting normal masking tape adhesive off once peeled was nearly impossible, almost ruined the headlights.
Shaving the door handles? Cuz that would be hot.

WOW.. .awesome build. Reminds me of the custom widebody I was having done on my old car. The bodyshop ended up getting into financial trouble... my car was seized by their bank for months as evidence and all they did was a little bit of bodywork and told me to come pick it up half ripped apart in the middle of winter... boy was I pi$$ed... I ended up scrapping the project since I lost interest... and was out a good chunk of change, parted out the entire car right down the the chassis.
Glad you found a new bodyshop!
I would love to get back into the showcar scene with my G. I was building my car for NCCA competition. Sh:t like this is right up my alley. Id love to work in a bodyshop that does extreme stuff, especially with my bodywork experience and prototyping/machining experience.

I haven't gone to a car meet or show because of that.
I had so many bodyshops that said they would help if I pulled it out
and when I did they all closed their doors on me.
I was past the point of depression and was just going to let the car sit in my garage and possibly just find another shell(either a G35 or a 350z) later on down the road and move all the mechanical stuff.
Not shaving the door handles.
The car is being built for track purpose
hence why we went with sheet metal instead of doing a FG widebody.
Some little things the bodyshop decided to do on their own
like encapsulating the wheel well so there is not that much gap between
fender opening and wheel.
Haha lmao!!
