FXMD Widebody Kit

Love the black top, with the widebody, it really gives the appearance of a canopy...

yes !!!!.....One more day :biggrin:

Thanks much...

; +1 on keeping the black top. I agree it keeps it looking more track associated. Definitely a nice job with the guns Coz. The end is near!!

When ever you want :biggrin:
We need to get together anyway, it's been awhile.

I'll be taking it out to the Modified Tuner Shootout on April 10th at Firebird.

Going to run the TA and either TTU or HPDE 4 with the other NASA instructors. I will most likely be instructing in the Hyperdrive part of the event or HPDE 1.

Come on out !

WOW! looking gooood! You know me I like the red!:wink: can't wait to see it in person! Hey...speaking of that....when?
 
Looks great, make sure and get a good photo shoot in once your finished. I would love to see some professional shots of the car.
 
It's gonna be beautiful when you finish Jim. Can't wait to see all the super pics once it's all buffed out and put back together. You will have one of the finest NSX widebodies around! Great work - it's all been worth it. I'm really glad you kept the black roof too.
 
Wet Sanding....

It's getting there...
There are a few area's I don't like which I will re-shoot, wet sand and buff out again this week.

This is the first wet sand and buff and will give you an idea where it's headed.

I am proud to be the first to say....... well done:eek::biggrin: it was worth the wait for all of us!

Fist Bump :biggrin:
 
I can't wait to see this thing in person in October. I can now see some of the more interesting lines for the rear quarters. I'm still not sure about the front end, but I think it has to do with the angle of the front shots. Take some photos from normal standing height. Looking good!
 
This is one of the only few widebodys that I like.....most widebodys look like ass.....good job on painting it right and not overpainting parts that shouldnt have been painted the rear looks awesome!! and does the front......

This, the cantrell one, nicos car, Bryans car has been my favorite looking widebody.....Its clean looking and not all transformer robot gotti looking...
 
Thanks...have a coupe of things I want to re-do, put the wing back on and then give it a good cleaning...

Almost done !

Nice job Jim. Looks great all painted up.

See you soon :-)

LOL....Those are normal standing height pictures for me, I was standing when I took them...LOL...I will stand on a create and take some for you tomorrow in the sunlight :-)

I will have it out to the track part of NSXPO as far as I know at this point working as an instructor and driving in it the advanced group if nothing else changes between now and then.

I finally took the time to get certified as a NASA instructor 2 weeks ago and signed off for NASA TTU. So it's about to start seeing a lot of track time on a monthly + basis. That's what I built it for as well as driving it on the street :wink:

April 10th we'll be at the Firebird NASA Event burning up some tires...

Thanks Juice !....I look forward to seeing you too in October.

Hopefully at least a few months before I have to go back to Europe...setting up shop in So Cal so I will be there at least for a little bit.
 
Jimbo,
Want to see that tail on there - I kept saying what am I missing here at the rear - well of course I could see the wing wasn't in place - it looks so odd with it off. Love the rear! It looks like it's gonna take off - probably could with the right "wings" on it. The only thing I'm not completely sold on are the clips on the front lid. I'd rather them be off or chrome and maybe smaller - like the other one I checked out a second ago - same color as yours with a real tall wing on it - which I'm sure works - but I'm not a big fan of tall wings myself unless it's a total track car then it works and makes sense - sure it works anyway.

I like it a lot Coz! Can't wait to see it later this year! I'm sure you'll have that paint just right by then....lol.
 
Tuesday, when I finish somethings I'm working on I will put the wing back on and the front splitter and post a few more pictures of it...

more pics please! :)
 
Man your car looks awesome. Fellow NASA AZ member here in HPDE 3, I missed the West event but I'll be at the april night event running some TA also. I'll come and say Hi and drool over your car :biggrin:. I don't own an NSX yet but i will be in a black Integra, name is Eric, Cya there.

Hi Eric...
Thanks and great seeing you here...!

The West event was a blast, but then again, they all are...

One of my sons, Ryan has an Integra R that will be starting to come out to our NASA events. My other son, an Eric too, is going to start coming out and start his corner worker training and driving his S2000 next month at PIR. It's a family thing :biggrin:

Yes, please come by and say hello. I will also look for you as well.

I may be instructing in the Hyperdrive and will have some Paddock duties assigned throughout the event, so I'll be running around quite a bit in between driving in the HPDE 4 Instructors group or TTU, but let's make it a point to meet up. If you have the time, I will take you out for a ride in the NSX during one of my sessions.

I'm going to run in the TA as well.

See you out there !
