Thanks guys. It is really appreciated. That's coming from Allison.

update for today! :-)

It started out with nice weather today for a change!

But then it started to get cold so we had to take it inside the Lost Birds Garage. Snap-On tools and 8 hydraulic lifts FTW.

This is as far as it got today.

[istdercollen]

Went back to the Lost Birds Racing Garage today to get some more work done.

Donnie showed up in his R33 to tackle some jobs before he headed back to the track as well. Also pictured is an R32 hoping to see some renewed glory.

just the doors and roof left now.

So after 5 hours today, here's where we got. gonna fill in the wings more to blend them in a little better tomorrow or some other time.

[Craig SLO33]

are the wings finished? they dont really tie into the rest of the design do they? looks mad apart from that

[PM-R33]

Nah he said he was going to do the wings more.

Also, get some series III GTR headlights for it

[Craig SLO33]

you mean the ones with HIDs? I found a new old stock ones (original equipment but never sold by the manufacturer) here for 1600 US dollars. That's a pretty penny!

Yeah we are going to put the design into the wings and help them look more subtle. they really stand out alot as it is right now. For shits and giggles I drove it like this to the grocery store, and there were people looking through the glass from inside just staring. it was pretty weird.. haha

i can just imagine bro, good work..

[Daz305]

the little bird outline thats not filled in under the door handles looks really good.

good work allison, u deserve some compliments for your efforts

just curious how many hours do you think its been once this is finished? and how many texters lol

she should sign her name hidden in the art work somewhere

[istdercollen]

It's at 140 hours right now with one door and filling in the wings remaining. Her name is already hidden on the car and is in the pictures somewhere if you can find it. It's about 6 inches long. So far it's used up about 25 chisel tip sharpies.

[FLN75S]

Looking really good dude.

Is her name on the front bar?

[istdercollen]

There's three sets of initials on the front, ALCKDH for the three people that worked on the paint job. Allison LaValley, Collen Kelton, Darin Hughes, but on the wing underneath the spoiler she put her whole name into the design.

Wings filled in. Looks better, no?

[PM-R33]

Yep WAY better

[mad082]

we should send the pics into today tonight and tell them there has been people going round drawing over peoples cars. see what sort of bullshit story they come up with.

looks good now that it's finished. very nice work.

[BeEnAr]

^^^^ lol!
