[Andrew Bohan]

[HaLo]

[SimpleS14]

haven't seen this before....but that is an awesome job

[ob4]

haha that's a typo... sr s13

[mrmephistopheles]

me no like - lack of ANY aero, rolling of fenders AFTER paint is applied.
Other than that, clean car, clean build.
Why do Florida people keep their pignoses when the do full build like this (*cough*estevan*cough)?

[Dutchmalmiss]

wow, all that body work and paint was nicely done. i like the white/gold combo

[wootwoot]

im another florida with a pignose....
the build was all super nice until the end when i saw the front bumped with it just cut out huge like for the fmic. that was really disappointing to me for some reason

[TheTimanator]

Pignose rocks!!! :rawk:
I really like it the way it is ... but he should get some sideskirts JDM or Canadian

and what is orange peel?

[AKADriver]

pignose pride! hahaha...

I just noticed something on that car that I didn't mention when it was posted on the whoretex... the roll bar doesn't have a full diagonal in the main hoop. That's kinda sketchy. I wonder why he did that two lower diagonals setup. I guess for rear visibility? But the main diagonal shouldn't be in the way if it's done right.

rolling fenders after paint is weird too... but he's in florida and he used a roller, not a mallet or baseball bat, so it should be OK.

orange peel is when the paint has a texture like the surface of an orange. Most brand new cars have it. Orange peel is pretty much always going to happen if you use modern environmentally safe paints and don't wet sand between coats. So basically, unless you spend $5k on a paint job, it's gonna have some peel. No big deal for anything but a pure show car.

IIRC, that's Estevan's brothers car (or cousin, or something...).

Hence the clean build...once you've done it that way once, it can only come out better then next time.
