Cool.
Have you worked with fg?
Have you build a body kit before?
Do you have any pics of your previous work?
That front looks like it would weigh 200lbs and need another 100lbs in bracing to support it.

As a real car designer, I have to say, that looks like total garbage, whoever designed it didn't know what they were doing...now, the front end, kinda neat, but id just use a s14 front and call it a day....

thanks, yeah i know, its going to be done on a hatch s13
but its something different from the rest
i know the hood line should be changed to make more sense for a 240. but the reason for this front end was to drop a dodge srt10 motor into the 240 we needed to extend the front end to fit the v10. this would be something unique with alot of power.
i have made custom body kits before, as well as custom fiberglass seats, interiors, for lexus ferrari, and a few others. ill see if i cant find links to any of my work
im pretty sure we will tube frame the front end. make the first body kit out of foam and fiberglass. mold it then reproduce it out of cf.

If you are tube framing the front, I highly doubt yo will need to extend the front, and if you do extend it, it will look strange proportion wise to the rest of the car...if it were me, and I was going through the trouble of putting that engine in, I would modify the firewall and tunnel, and sit the engine back further than stick the motor forward. By moving it back, you'll make the handling better.

That will NOT look right or flow on a s chassis.

I know but my friend wants it, and we will see how it looks
personaly i think its like chopping of the camaro night rider front end for the new comaro's and putting it on the 240. and if we put the motor back the shifter will be in a weird position
