Haha, looks like a matchbox car!  And yes, this is the process which also built that crazy red G50.

Oh my Gosh! That thing is crazy. I have only seen stuff like this on the TV!! This guy has guy some balls. I don't know if I could have done it. But the risk that he took paid off what a beautiful automoblie!! Is that the Maybach coupe grill? I love its crazy and risky but I think it paid off:yahoo_101: Great pics man

I remember when that W215 was a WIP on one of those back sites.  Props to that guy for how much work that takes. Interior is pretty tight.  315-30-30 is no joke.  Nonmetallic red is so-so a nicer paint in the future would do wonders.

Yea pretty crazy car.   IIRC, this was like 1 or 2 years ago or so when it debuted.  It was a while ago I know for sure.  It was a hot topic on a lot other forums I was on back when it first came out.

WTF!!
damm the mob must be doin good to be waistin a car like that lol 
 
but seriously thats pretty cool but not my style i guess.

dear god!!   30s in the rear?!  

wow

Not my style either, but I dig the work and dedication...and yes, it's not new (2008).

props to a lot of work done to it. the front end doesn't do it for me though, but that's just my .02

Wow I loved the car more before he started but hey I can definitely appreciate the time money and dedication he put in he's most certainly a master craftsman...nice find Mike

i'll be the black sheep, that thing is hideous, no no no beyond hideous.


If Gottlieb Daimler & Karl Benz saw this they would cry.

i remember readin bout this somewhere before and my reaction now still the same as then..... :cool2:

good skills bad idea......he should of did a model car first.......
pretty gross....
not my thing...but the jacket is fly -I_I_I

Usually you're the black sheep if no one agrees with you..yet we have..haha.  We appreciate the work..but not the look.  Now if you say you don't appreciate the work..then yes, black sheep you are (and crazy).

not my cup of tea, but its amazing how he turned that car into such a different design, and looks like a quality build.

Wow!! How can I do this? Im gonna have the first RB1 stateside.. Ill turn the RA1 into one....:pat:

words can not describe what I felt when I saw the end result.  Thats a lot of hard work and it doesnt show in the end.

Talented guy....
 
I'd still like to beat tha crap outta him!! 
 
 
 
 
 
Cocain is a helluva drug:pat:

Choose one:

:slap:

:smiley-rofl:

:koolaidwall:

:yahoo_68:

:thumbsdown:

:break:

:eek4wtf:

ugly car, but def cream on the inside.

Exterior.....NO
 
Interior.....YES especially the pillars.
 
FURCOAT......HELL YES!

I will echo the sentiments that most of vsc members present, but I will choose to be the black sheep (no pun intended)

That car is hideous to say the least. I do not appreciate the work put in, more because the artisan used p-foam and that hideous front end.

As someone who loves kit car builds, I have seen better cars.

two thumbs down for ruining a perfectly good car.

Front end is iffy looking for me, the grill and headlight's don't match but honestly..that's a ton of work. Mad props to that guy. It came out looking sick.

Wooooooooooooow

Haha busting my chops, in that case i take that back.

Then you'll also hate the work that was done to this car..as it was built along the same lines (even though I hate the car..I can appreciate the work/effort):

[IMG]http://carview-img02.bmcdn.jp/minkara/photo/000/001/545/767/1545767/p8.jpg[/IMG]

I appreciate the work and effort, but this is just like american idol...some people think they can sing, but that's far from truth. This guy thinks he's a great designer, but that is also far from truth. Car looks like shit, nothing on it really works for me...well actually I do somewhat like the back end of it. The front on the other hand is tasteless. He get's an A for the effort though.

I like the rear. Had he not done such big wheels, or and used some different headlights/grille, it'd be a totally different and MAYBE better car. But, it is his creation, and I can dig the work put into it. 
 
Question, what is or isn't wrong with the foam he used on the car? How well does it hold up? Should he have fiberglassed the parts after he built the panels? Like how they did on the NSX=>50 conversion?

This is an exact proof that money and taste don't necessarily go hand in hand....
