RBS in-Limbo (extreme makeover) (Page 21/158)

Today Clynt came over to work on his Harley parts and then we played with the body parts.





Started mocking up the front end, widening the front fender



The front end will look similar to the Gallardo, (I like the two front black boxes)

John i absolutely love everything you are doing, but ,........i do have to ask, why go the route of a near lambo clone ?

What i am referring to is the nose. Why not do something different and unique ??

i think it saps the creativity of all the work you have done, and will make non-fiero people think replica rather than something different.

Just my two cents.

At any rate the project is still spectacular !

I understand Exoticse's concern at making it look too replica, I have nothing against anyone who wants to build a replica. Some are incredible copies and can be more difficult to produce a faithful likeness than interpreting a theme.

It's just my own personal taste. We have a Mclaren dealership 3 miles down the road and I see Lambo's and ferrari's nearly every day... What would give me the biggest kick is a Guy who climbs out of his Lambo, looks over at my Fiero and says "Wow whats that?" Oh I just designed and built it myself!

John you are a man af great resource and I'm confident you will produce a stunning design without it looking like you have just bought a kit car and followed the instructions.

I am following this thread with great interest and my brain is working overtime on a design of my own when I've finally got my current project finished I'll be making a start on the old girl.

Now how can I build something similar in style to this?..

Heck yah! looking amazing! Here is a picture in black of that kind of nose
So I don't have to photo shop the color later



Or maybe go back to bumper pads

On second thought, .....why do i even bother doubting John's vision ?? He always ends up making us all look silly by whipping up something that simply makes us drool.

I agree.

Its all gone a bit quiet... Is Dr Frankenstien rigging up a lightning rod to the roof of his house and about to put jump leads on RBS' genitals?

You're absolutely right about that Tony thank you for "the wake up call "
I'll be changing direction a bit and making something unique again

Look what RBS got from Santa...

John that is just looking SEEEEEEXY !!

i have been looking for a set of those led lights and have them down to a couple of companies. I would be interested in how much those cost you as the ones i am looking at are around $250 to $300.

BTW is all this awesome modding giving Clynt a little itch to do some more to his ??
