wide body s14 , i hate cars - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

gsracer · 12-23-2007, 05:05 PM

So i cut my quarter panels, im thinking im gonna do a mini tub as i didnt like the way it would have coe out if i had welded the inner fender back to the quarter.

I still have to straighten the cut a bit as it was getting late and i was running out of light.

What do you guys think is the best option?

tiresmokes13 · 12-23-2007, 05:13 PM

i hate to see perfectly good panels get chopped up haha

nissan240sxkid · 12-23-2007, 05:20 PM

it looked good before but good luck on new tubs...nice wheels

1CLNS14 · 12-23-2007, 05:34 PM

Wow scary., i wouldnt have the guts to do that. Good luck, cant wait to see how it comes out.

tt99ol · 12-23-2007, 05:37 PM

yeah tub it it will look cleaner

20 til 3 · 12-23-2007, 05:43 PM

ballin

molding the 1/4's... or just riveting them on?

Overdose · 12-23-2007, 05:44 PM

get some wide body Quarter Panels to slap on it now. and some candy paint

Matej · 12-23-2007, 05:45 PM

You should cut way more than that.

gsracer · 12-23-2007, 05:48 PM

i havent decide to mold or rivet yet.

this is not the hood going on the car lol

sfljdmej2 · 12-23-2007, 05:57 PM

looks like it gonna come out great. cant wait to see it on the street or at the next event down hear.

SoCal-s130 · 12-23-2007, 06:00 PM

That loooks wayyy better then a huge pull!

projectRDM · 12-23-2007, 06:09 PM

Tub, just take a flat sheet of steel and roll it to the contour of the inner wheelhouse, weld a bead and you're done.

On another note, Kouki front? Why? You ruined it, I always liked your car.

thetopcow · 12-23-2007, 06:12 PM

Take it from a body guy and a man who molded his quarters on. DON'T MOLD THEM!!! Just rivet them on. Seal up the metal really good then paint the quarter, then paint the over fender. Then rivet on the over fender. My reasoning is that: You will then have good corrosion protection underneath the new quarter and water will drain through the over fender rather than pooling in between the old and new quarter.

midnight zenki · 12-23-2007, 06:42 PM

I second the why kouki question, but either way it's gonna look sick. What fenders front and rear did you use and are you happy with the fitment?

joefresh · 12-23-2007, 06:46 PM

those tires are rediculous...i would cut the fender about 1'' above the body line

Full-Lock · 12-23-2007, 07:08 PM

shit looks AWESOME!
what rotors are those?

thanks

ms!3 · 12-23-2007, 07:11 PM

looks good. please don't mold.

*kingkilburn* · 12-23-2007, 07:32 PM

You could use trailer fenders for the tubs. I think I saw that on Muscle Car on SpikeTv.

gsracer · 12-23-2007, 07:57 PM

I think what im gonna do is glue them on then remove the rivets and fill up the holes so the panel is smooth but bonded on. I dont really want to mold them.

As for why i went kouki, i really liked the whey it flowed as a zenki, i just really hate the foggy look of the zenki headlights , even the german ones. I wanted to update the look of the car a bit so thats why.

Gumballf355 · 12-23-2007, 08:04 PM

If you're planning on competition or tracking the car hard... just rivit the overfenders on. Molding them on is only for show cars and ballers with cash to burn. (Alot of extra work)

gsracer · 12-23-2007, 08:11 PM

Yea no molding, just smooth panel bonded on with epoxy, that fusor shit

sbanzer123 · 12-23-2007, 09:07 PM

gsracer i love your car so much. everything about it is awsome. + rep for you

muddafakka · 12-23-2007, 09:10 PM

When you get the chance, I wanna see more videos of your car!
