DodgyRog Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) This is a couple of days after I bought the Supra on 15/08/07 Then the 1st combination of body part to look like this 2nd Look as she is now Had to run down ShellShocked (the bodyshop) today, so got a couple of pics Sorry they are not great photo's as it's my iPhone This is still very much a work in progress and I went down to have a look at the general shapes that are coming together It has had a coat of primer to show the shape we have at this point, the idea is to get this side right and then copy it to the other side A big thanks goes out to ShellShocked who have been great so far, keeping me in the loop, especially to Jason, who has been the one man band doing all the work They are taking lots of photo's as they go with a camera, so I will do a proper thread through the stages at a later point This is just a little teaser Edited April 2, 2016 by DodgyRog Title changed at OP request (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 looking good mate. nice arches Yeah a big thanks to Ibrar (Speedwells) for getting these made up and to me in record time just hope it dont crack. looks like they know what they are doing though! I did ask about cracking and they said they have never had a problem with it. ShellShocked are the same bodyshop that did Blackies and his is fine, as far as I am aware anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 This has the potential to look pretty special It's definatly going to be different, I have search a lot and not found anyone that has done this combination, so fingers crossed that they all come together well Looking good Rog:cool: Thanks JP, I am all ready happy with it and they still have another weeks worth of work before they think about paint apparently. The problem I have is the Dragonba11 is getting very close, but I really don't want to rush them Jason is a diamond though, he said today when I mentioned the time element, that he will work the bank holidays and weekends if he feels it's going to be necessay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I think ditching that front bumper is a great step, I have never liked that front (bar cols doluck original) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) does look great. best of luck, you deserve it this time round Well ShellShocked are already miles ahead of Speed Culture in every way possible Looking great mate Cheers, fingers crossed I think ditching that front bumper is a great step, I have never liked that front (bar cols doluck original) To be honest I liked my Supe as it was, just got bored and fancied a change, but I still feel it's a massive gamble to rip the old one apart and try something totally untried, even after seeing it today I am still very nervous to see the final look It's sat in the back of one of the units and the one side that I photoed is against the wall, so you can't stand back and get a proper over all view, the other side is all together and blended, but they have not started to shape it properly yet, so really gives no clue Edited April 16, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djg99 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looking good mate, bet you can't wait to get it back. Finished your wheels yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriella Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Getting there. What's the next step Rogie are you keeping it silver or change it for candy red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 looking great but as already said brave man with it blended, but should give a stunning outcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looking good mate, bet you can't wait to get it back. Finished your wheels yet?? I really want it back now, but I also don't want to rush them, so I have just left it as I need it for the Dragonba11 and they seem confident with that As for the wheels, due to other commitments I have not had a chance to get all 4 done and the bodyshop wanted them today, so they can get the edge of the arches perfectly in line, so I have had to allow them to paint them for me:innocent: bit of a cop out in the end, but time isn't on my side anymore Getting there. What's the next step Rogie are you keeping it silver or change it for candy red? It's staying Silver, I did consider a custom paint job, but my funds won't allow it this time and while it's still a daily driver it's a bit pointless maintance wise Candy Red (PINK) was never an option:p looking great but as already said brave man with it blended, but should give a stunning outcome! I realise it's a risk, especially on a daily driver, but the decision was taken out of my hands in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrar Jabbar Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looking really good Rog, I would have blended in the top line of the spats to give it an even cleaner look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am in 2 minds on that to be honest Ibrar, the rear bumper is not being blended, as I am not sure what I am doing in the future with the rear, so the idea was to leave the spat line to give the rear some shape before it hits the rear bumper line, but after seeing it today, I am thinking the same as you The other thing no one has said about (surprisingly) and was the first thing I saw and asked to be sorted. The sideskirt rear bulge is a bit square and lost it's stock curve, it's to annoying to me, so it's being played with on Monday Edited April 17, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looking great already, will look fantastic when finished. Fingers crossed for you that she's completed for the Dragonball We're already short of 5 cars out of 30 for the trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing the end result I bet it will look stunning. Hope you have it for Dragonball. Thanks guys, I am really pleased with it so far, I was really apprehensive about putting this mish-mash of bits together, but it seems to be working okay ShellShocked seem reasonably confident of it being ready by the end of the month, so fingers crossed it will be just out in time for the Dragonba11, although it doesn't help when I keep giving them little extras lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Looking really good Rog, I would have blended in the top line of the spats to give it an even cleaner look. Just spoken to the Jason at ShellShocked about the top spat line and they are going to have another look at it, but he's not sure about doing a complete smooth and blend, due to the fact that I am not blending the rear bumper. He is a bit worried about how it will look on the joining line with the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
