Building A wide body for a 1000HP S15

[@mikejoseph1782]

That was a very convincing demonstration of the structural integrity of your creation. I can appreciate a person who trusts their handiwork. Excellent build

[@malreynolds9591]

You have done some amazing craftsmanship here sir. I've done fiberglass boxes, etc. so I appreciate your efforts. Well done!!

[@theresedignard4267]

Great video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. This will absolutely help me with my kayak build.

[@doubledown2422]

Stigz is simply amazing and inspiring. He does super amazing work. If I had the money, my first car in his hands would be my 88 Mazda MX-6. For now, I will just continue to absord his knowledge and wisdom.

[@MasterMindWC]

I like how the whole kit is custom made and nobody else but that car owner will have that design. Perfect.

[@savagepickle0443]

Absolutely incredible work!! Definitely a huge inspiration to try something yourself instead of settling for a body kit that you don’t like

[@omfgsomental]

Damn perfect job. Lots and lots of work. I feel bad for all the downvotes on this video from people who mightve thought that the clay stayed or didn't watch the video all the way through.

[@jeanfresco5667]

Was thinking 'wow, a 1000 HP, wide body pick up truck', then I see a Silvia. Still cool, just not what I was expecting. Congrats on your ride, enjoy the hell out of it.

[@Quesadila21]

Jean Fresco Exactly the same boat, man. Friend's got an S15 and was gonna send this to him. Saw it was a Silvia. Lol.

[@jeanfresco5667]

+Moises Padilla, glad I wasn't alone!

[@midassandahl5076]

A truck guy that has respect for cars like this? This gives me hope for humanity

[@samuelgoodman2989]

Jean Fresco Me too

[@chad9160]

It's not his lol

[@uruzchubun8081]

You perfectly contour the clay to the cars shape and here I am having a hard time making a smooth play-doh snake....

[@1godaboveALL]

That explains your profile pic. 😂🤣😂

[@Shadowband72]

Can you make a follow up video after paint ? I would love to see the finished product , and you should make some forms so you can duplicate . People would definitely buy your kit if it was available . Great work as per usual !

[@S1KRYD]

Yes I will. Waiting on the owner to paint it.

[@garyrobbins4562]

I agree forms would have been a good idea not just for other people but for yourself. When the guy drifts in to a wall or somthing and destroys his custom work.lol this way you dony have to go through all that to make him new ones.

[@mathewhaines3351]

@@S1KRYD I have a question. I hope you see and reply to this.

[@ZRJOmega]

Excellent work on the project Russ, I hope that one day I'll be able to do something like this.

[@theo_angelos]

This is the real way of making a wide body! Props to you guys!

[@missionDan]

Wont be too long till we can 3d print this shit. Then the world is a car guys oyster

[@KableTac]

you already can if you have a large enough printer

[@lemmetellyousomething679]

Who asked for your advise anyway asshole

[@blahber222]

I can't even properly finish a half of a 1/5th scale car clay model, and you're out here doing this? Major props dude

[@nathankoroush7918]

Great craft, that was fun to watch.

[@rivenmotors7981]

Always enjoy watching your process and results. Very inspirational, keep at it!

[@jamesscott4613]

Nice job true craftsmanship brilliant

[@jeremyholland7555]

Awesome job STIGZ! Hi from a fan in Christchurch :)

[@grahamsmith6474]

Incredible work. Thanks for sharing.

[@igqfresh]

you gentlemen can shape a pre-peg carbon fiber into surf boards. As always, i greatly appreciate your sharing of your awesome talents. 😎

[@S1KRYD]

Yes I can build surf boards out of carbon fiber if you want.

[@S1KRYD]

You would lay the carbon over the top of a Styrofoam core like a lot of surf boards. It would float just fine. But it would look super cool!

[@clutchnz4417]

good old propper kiwi garage, getting put to use. good job you done

[@meradu2]

Nice work love the look on the car . Love your videos

[@marknowakowsky5439]

Very nice clay work, guys got lots of talent

[@StanleyKubick1]

Man, that's some impressive craftsmanship

[@colsinclair7793]

Class' first time iv seen that done' that's a form of Art 👍🏻

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks mate. You are right it is art!

[@vettari]

unreal. what an art and hours of work

[@latebloomers9410]

This is amazing, I had no clue this was even possible

[@JOEGGGJOE]

one of the best videos to date on how to clay shape/fiberglass. wow, great job. love seeing you put so much pride in what you do.

[@Alfonsebrowncapone]

That's seriously work of art

[@arronblake6821]

Now THIS, THIS is a real WIDEBODY. Not just fender flares pretending to be a wide body. Excellent, excellent work sir! I really would love to do something like this but man the sheer amount of time would be my only issue. Very inspiring sir!

[@radekwysocki7875]

I havent even watched to the end yet, and mate you did one hella of a job there :)

[@thatautomotiveblog]

Seriously confused by the dislikes. This is some extensive work! Love it!

[@Montenegromfg]

That cough! i thought mine was pretty bad. Excellent job my friend.

[@AlteredCarbons]

these clay making videos are so great , i love it

[@squishydafishy]

thanks for the great acid flashback! great job!

[@luiginetstar]

Wow you are a artist..!!!!!

[@Avoid467]

crazy skills. looks stunning

[@morecarstuff]

great and informative video like always Russell! also I'm planning on finishing my fenders (the gills on the mercedes if you remeber) this summer! so I'll definetly link you to the finished product once I do. and I'm doing some welding as opposed to clay and fiber glassIng due to time constraints for some parts.

[@S1KRYD]

Hey man I look forward to see it! Cant wait

[@ayashhobeika5194]

Hello guys. Please i need to know what kind of Clay you used? And from where I can buy it?

[@douglasmcclose7773]

gorgeous work brother

[@sexistlexus6183]

Wicked video!! Pure talent

[@JTECH7766]

Not a bad end result but you certainly made a lot more work for yourself than needed. You had a nice smooth surface to lay glass down and then stuffed it laying cling wrap and foil creating wrinkles everywhere when you should have used a release agent then gel coated then layed the glass. Then pulled it off and used it as a mould to make a flawless copy that would have required next to no filler work at all. Time= money. You also added much more weight using so much filler making that 1000hp engine now work much harder to move more weight!

[@manuelpavan1647]

Veramente un bellissimo lavoro!!

[@alfeovaldez8066]

Beautiful work

[@MitchellGuyon]

Gorgeous job! Spot on

[@Tracks777]

I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!

[@jamesbew6906]

Very smart work

[@DIYTech21]

0:18 Nice girl in the left corner. Loved your work and neatness but the car is begging for a spoiler now :D

[@S1KRYD]

haha nah mate that is a guy with dreads. He works for a panel beater in the town I live it. He is doing an apprenticeship. He is good at what he does.

[@DIYTech21]

Hahaha i was kidding man :D Will you share with us when the car is done with the paint job and all ?

[@клептоман-л2е]

a huge respect from me, big work, btw nice car

[@HJCars]

Holy Moly thats a nice widebody s15!

[@qykofx.8788]

so clean good work

[@myvizn8387]

Wow you guys do a great job!

[@need4speed0069]

Awesome work

[@giovanniarellano456]

Your s15 looks awesome

[@toddk7913]

No way thats 1000 hp. 999 maybe, but not 1000. 😊 Good work, cheers.

[@thethepete731]

I really thought you were going to use them as a buck/mould for laying the actual fenders. Wouldn't have been that much more work and you would've had a quick way to reproduce one in the event of a crash. Great work either way. Looks awesome, and tasteful lines. Certainly a professional job no matter how you slice it.

[@KaneBannanas]

So cool, love your videos man

[@Godzillah]

Awesome learn lot of things from ya. Like brushing primer and using packaging tape. You need a lavalier mic buddy.

[@HEKTIC458]

Nice work bro

[@audiguy8555]

I would love to see what you could come up with on my 370z!! Magnificent work.👍

[@hectoraastacio-ocasio7747]

you are simply next level this is amazing

[@kaleyfantastic]

this one needs a dope trance track like the others. silence is deafening

[@jesteris25]

bloody good job the only dislike I have is the tail lights don't match with the wide body.

[@garyrobbins4562]

Right easy fix though make vents right there functional or fake would atleast make it look better

[@christopheralexzander4861]

Friking epic really very nice work :)

[@TheHoviat]

great video mate!

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks mate. I like your tie

awesome work!!

[@Kpop-4_life]

Love your work man!

[@realjiver2]

Amazing work!

[@s13jr32]

Man looks good one of my favorite cars..need somthing like this done on my GS300 but not so agressive maybe like a 25mm wide.....great job

[@Alps6408]

Wow! long time no see! awesome stuff as usual!

[@KingVin712]

This is so much cooler and more aesthetic than putting on a widebody kit. Takes a lot more work, but it's definitely worth it. 👌

[@nemominca122]

Amazing job 👍

[@shadowblack1987]

Modern way to do it is 3D scan and then have the mold made or even 3d printed and then cast fiberglass/carbon fiber parts.

[@alynicholls3230]

there is a metal and body man in bristol england who does wide body mods and rally arches, but metal sometimes aluminium and sometimes he just seems to slice cuts in the rear quarters, pulls out the metal to where he wants the arches and tigs pieces of new metal in, a real artist just like this bloke. only i suppose doing it in metal is more permanent, but very similar end results.

[@johnbrevard5966]

BRAVISSIMO!!!... Bella !!!... Love it!!!

[@joestro7826]

I saw the white Celica in the back at the end. What did you end up doing to it? I have one and I want to custom the trim and flare the fenders.

[@ScottWakeman119]

Looks great! Considering the same for a Prelude project. Not quite as wide. How do you recommend attaching the panels to the original rear quarters so that the physical mount points are never seen?

[@S1KRYD]

I have other videos showing how this is done. Check out the 90 min video on the RX7 veilside build

[@zubbytv6179]

that is awesome..got any ideas for a sienna??

[@joshifyed9855]

Hell yeah, NZer's in the house!

[@d-e-a8209]

just wondering how much did you spend on that wide body project? not counting the clay just the rest?

[@Iddno-q8u]

Hi really love all your works!! Really amazing!! Thank you for the great videos. I have a question. How many pounds of potting clay did you use to model a back bumper?

[@morecarstuff]

glad you are back!!!!!!!!!! missed you man

[@bradbeining3341]

amazing work.wow

[@thomaslovell6087]

Job well done

[@kontradictions]

Awesome video and amazing work and talent! A critique if I may? Perhaps add some music to the video?

[@S1KRYD]

You tube hammers me for doing that

[@kontradictions]

Bummer :( Guess I'll just have to play my own tunes. Love your videos none the less! I'm currently half way through the Fortune RX7 one!

[@rattedbug5003]

Awsome skills Stigz. So what did that cost all up for the fibre work? What was the name of the material that you pressed in the gap of the bumper after taping the body first at the end of the video. Where would i get Gel coat from. I want to give this a try on my old dune buggy body. Would love to do a couple of classes with you. Great to learn these skills.

[@S1KRYD]

Gel coat is from any fiberglass outlet. The bog is called New Tech. It is a 50% carbon fiber and 50% alloy mix

[@rattedbug5003]

Thanks

[@markbaker8604]

Beautiful work as always Russ. Maybe one day I'll be able to produce something half as amazing as this.

[@S1KRYD]

You will

[@davidmitchell5638]

You are indeed a living legend! sooner than later i'll come over to NZ and pay you some good money so i can learn from you! Do you have any way to contact you personally other than KZbin?

[@mikejoseph1782]

My lord I can't wait to see these in the states :'(

[@sean2119]

Amazing work ! What the key to mount fiberglass fender onto metal body? What did you do to the border between C pillae and the fender ?

[@angelffalcon3134]

looks like a grand prix from the back.. great work though

[@maikeru01]

really cool bro

[@adamsgrace2012]

It would have been awesome to see this painted.

[@MrJonnyp107]

from the thumbnail I thought it was going to be some god awful expanding foam attempt

[@KnightDriveTV]

Entire bucks in the automotive industry are made from foam. I've done entire custom car bodies with expanding foam, followed by thin layers of clay. Foam has its place. Not the spray home depot bs, but pourable mixed expanding foams. I've used them extensively. I'm about to do a vid on my other channel of a full custom widebody on a Corvette using that method.

[@MrJonnyp107]

Yeah I'm thinking expanding foam that comes in a can usually preferred by the French 'modifiers' I look forward to watching your video tho

[@WelcomeToMyDream]

This same STIGZ guy sometimes uses expanding foam covered in clay if you watch his other videos, exactly like RC00E said.

[@TheRealObamacide]

@Ed O'Neill dipshit

[@ohshititsmicky654]

Nice now u can use your pretty "1000 hp" car to make it to the super packed car shows on time. 👍🏼

[@mikejoseph1782]

Keep that ventilation my man, dust ain't a force to mess with!
