I don't want to bring too much negativity into your thread, but regarding the spoiler.. I have a concern about your tips on each end. I see you bonding them pretty much with what looks like duraglass. I don't see that as a structural adhesive, holding up. What type of material is the spoiler? Is it a fiberglass spoiler or metal? I'm gonna guess fiberglass just because most of them are, but a simple design like that could be made from steel quite easily and welded in place for the results you've got and are looking for, so I'm not going to make a stupid assumption.
I think if you're gonna glass that together, you're gonna want to wrap it with mat, but I'm not an expert by any means.
You also said you were looking for a place to upload pics of your whole build. I see you have a photobucket account, which works, but cardomain.com has been around for a LONG time now, and it lets you post your pictures and you can document your build in the form of a web page.
There's another one out there like it... I can't remember the site though. It has Chris Hansen from overhaulin promoting it, but I can't seem to recall the name of the site. Maybe someone else will.
oki tanks.. nja lika negativity to yes all is glassfiber. light.. and no not the firts time build glassfiber.. 3 yers ago build volvo 740 glassfiber body all over end 350 lt1 and t-56 :P and yes found galleri and have upp load allot of pic of projekt.. thanks for tips but the body ir redy for paint now så little to late..
personally..I think it looks like a twisted up thirdgen Camaro...BUT...the craftsmanship looks outstanding. Good Job Man!

imo paint looks great, not a fan of the body kit however the craftmenship is outstandind from the pics i think maybe the offset of the wheels is off or maybe its the angle of the pic, i think the rear wheels need to be wider and sit out a little bit more out, of course imo
I think what everyone is noticing and not liking about it is those ground effects. The widebody itself looks good, but the ground effects stick out further than the widebody and wheels. Here is another example of a widebody and how the guy molded some ground effects to the widebody. Notice how this cars ground effects flow with the car rather than attach at a different angle.
That is what i'm going to go for when I purchase a 91-92 Formula.

you sure put a lot of work into it, but like someone else said you should have gotten the gfx to flow better, but to each his own. good job never the less.
hehe yes. my project cars always sitck out. dont want to be like every else but yes im think to is is litle to wide. but need the space to the weels and the car is far awey from finish.. like to read what you think god ore bad.. =)
Love the wide body. I myself will be going wide body sometime in the next 10 years. Might just wide body the GFX, IDK I have a lot of ideas on what I'd like to get out of doing a wide body on my Maro.
-Take care
