Developing a concept ferrari/ lamborgini design. JZ COBRA STEALTH

A full size concept for the streets. Here is a speed up time-lapse of the JZ Cobra - a Ferrari/Lamborghini hybrid Concept car for those that requested it. This JZ Cobra Concept was designed and built using clay sculpting or clay moulding to get the shape. The JZ Cobra concept uses a Toyota Supra chassis to build upon and therefore is sometimes referred to as a reshell. All clay work and design done by Russell Dennis. JZ COBRA CONCEPT
Total hours to design this concept and build it ready for paint was 1545 hours. That is all the exterior work from the front all the way to the back and includes all the design work and all the clay sculpting and all the fiberglass and carbon work.
If you like this design I can build a copy for anyone interested. I made a set of moulds for this build and so can send you a fiberglass Shell/body so that you can build one or I can do the whole job for you.

[@jago-archiecarter5967]

the supra was 10 times better looking than the final product... my thoughts

[@S1KRYD]

We all have a different taste in different things. I had estimated that 80 percent of people would love this design and 20 percent would hate it. When I look at the likes to dislikes ratio I find that my prediction was right. Lamborghini and Ferrari have never been able to get above 85 percent, and so I think I did not do too badly for a little fala in an obscure town building his own car in his small shed with no formal training what so ever. As for using the supra for a donor car - what else would one use? It has an excellent motor and gear box that is hard to beat even by the exotics. It also has a good over all shape to start with for this kind of work. But the standard Toyota supra is very ugly. It was only after the veilside body kit was invented for it that it became a good looking car. Since then the Toyota supra body has been the most modified Jap car ever with over 100 different kits made for it.

[@jago-archiecarter5967]

I totally agree with you but i just don't like the combination of ferrari and then jdm and then Tokyo drift.. But you did a great job of how you wanted it too look like... so i respect you for that :)

[@raufjaleel8317]

Please in your next video convert Lamborghini or Ferrari to Toyota Supra.

[@ykchannel2391]

@@S1KRYD great work buddy

[@MCFishNuggets]

jago-archie carter agreed, but the work done is incredible

[@manoman0]

Although I do not like the outcome I do like the work process. Fantastic.

[@S1KRYD]

@ Not Spodermen - I improvise all the time. All I need is some sketch's on a bit of paper and I can build from there. But the more drawings you can provide for me the better. This will help me create the car you actually want.

[@chantreasing2836]

OMFG THE BEAUTY AND ART

[@S1KRYD]

Yes that is normal food grade tin foil. It is used to keep the wet clay separate from the fiberglass materials. I have a video up called "How to make a panel from scratch step by step" which will explain everything a bit slower in a step by step fashion.

[@S1KRYD]

It goes very well thanks. It is only 450HP at the moment but as you would know it is relatively easy to increase to 600HP or so with the 2JZ vvti. The rims were all I could get in the configuration I needed, but you are right they look pretty good anyway. I think it is the large lips that make them unusual and very cool. It gives it a hot rod look.

[@elalesitoreal3638]

Man your job is AWESOME..you share knowledge that others hide, you give what others stole.I only can say RESPECT

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks man

[@Lukanater7777]

Now that's a real tuner-car!

[@PorscheMonster]

Truly appreciate the input. I recently viewed your posted video of the roof modification and have a better understanding of your workflow. Many Thanks!

[@jjohngreen8395]

the vid is not sped up that is how he works

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks mate! It is people like you that help videos like this get the views. There are a lot of people out there that would like to watch a video like this but how will they ever know about it unless they stumble over it?

[@sterling215]

You. Are. BadASS!! Great Work.. This video in my opinion should have 10,000 times the views!

[@donkeyface123]

you are on a level of your own man! very inspiring watching someone so well versed in what they do. I got zero experience and i'm about to tackle a rocker panel repair job on 98 VW. Watching you turn nothing into a whole lot is a great before getting out there and poking at the rust.

[@cygnusa3772]

subscribing ! I have been toying with engineering my own super car and was researching how to develop the body when i found your video.

[@henryzimmer]

Speechless! =D I think allot of your friends where jealous of you, in kindergarden, when you made sandcastles! =D

[@johnstratairious7936]

NOW I SEE the problem with Ford, Chevy, etc...they don't have you working for them. Trust me my friend, your design is OFF THE HOOK! you are multi- talented and it's a damned SHAME you're NOT working for a major or custom car company. If I owned a custom car company, you would be hired in a second. Just a thought for you. Build a portfolio, show what you can do like you did here, then get some investors and raise money for your OWN car company...you would make the other car companies LOOK STUPID! It's easy to raise money with the right people, I've done it twice, once for a film once for an invention, total of 80K$. You just keep doing what your doing and don't listen to the asses out there, because if they say anything negative about you, I'll SLAP EM! Take care brother...you did a fantastic job, really great...oh, and I loved your music by the way.

[@S1KRYD]

HAHAHA thanks mate. I would work for them if they wanted me to and if the price was right. But they don't seem to pay much attention to the little falas like me.

[@BradSaintGeorge]

▌ I think most of the viewers are not understanding that the clay is removed, there is no clay on the vehicle when it's driving! lol

[@S1KRYD]

Yes you are correct.

[@rattedbug5003]

Thanks for the advice

[@artsculpture1024]

Cool, I added sculptures to my car

[@S1KRYD]

A supra was used as the donor car. The Supra was an excellent donor car because of the high HP that the supra engine puts out and because of its streamlined shape. It is now an exotic called the JZ Cobra. The name comes from the shape of the front end which looks like a King Cobras head.

[@midhunogirala6282]

Marvelous man, I you left me speechless . The back bumper of the car is so very awesome . But the front bumper would look good of you had used Shak eye shape headlamps . Rest of the car is very very impressive . You know I want to grow up and become a car designer in Lamborghini. I can provide you with car sketches on drawing sheets .

[@GasserGlass]

Good Job Young Man

[@S1KRYD]

A one of a kind that could be turned into a business can be worth a lot. The type of person that would buy this would not think much of spending 250k

[@MrPanePlus]

SICK music choice klaypex is awesome

[@wciflanker7]

what are limitations to clay molding. I wanna build a body kit similar to the veilside fortune for my rx7. can I go as wide as I'm legally aloud? and I'm assuming I just scrape away the clay once the fiberglass has hardened?

[@S1KRYD]

An altezza project would be interesting. I recycled the clay in the front to the back. By doing this I only needed half the amount of clay. But in saying this I used about 400KG of clay or so.

[@Artybayt]

Wow guys, awesome car!!!

[@rajonrondo78]

Wow that was amazing

[@kenposnake]

[@highlitetracks293]

How much clay do you think I should use for a one seated Pretty small car. It is 8 and a half feet long, and like 3 and a half feet wide and about 3 and a half feet tall. Any and all help is wildly appreciated. Thanks!

[@dragonfire661988]

How long did it take u to make the car? Im making a custom kit for my mx5 about 2 months into it alread made custom tail lights turn signal and fabric of the inside diamonds stitch leather

[@bigsalo8598]

Not my type of car but love the work you did! real nice, dropped a like!

[@yananRamirez]

good efford and lot of work..!!

[@RealDynamite]

So after you formed the clay and sculpted it, is that aluminum foil that you are putting on it? I can't tell what's going on, it's going so fast. What was the purpose of putting the foil or whatever that stuff was on the clay?

[@zeNUKEify]

That looks so real dang amazing

[@mizawesome3650]

i am impressed sir i am also planing something like this on datson y120 then i see your video you me so much confidence and allots of ideas...

[@buddhadebsarkar1708]

what is that.. clay .... and by which thing you make those body part... i think its not mettal...

[@mohammedwalidhossain4557]

unbelievable

[@user-lw8jk6nv7l]

totally gonna experiment on small scale to get my design

[@takeitaway1709]

What kind of clay are you using please, I want to build a concept car and I got some natural clay, but I dont know how to mix it and what to add to it for modeling

[@MrSlowpokee]

Nice work!!!

[@deonmiller6906]

quick question how do u mold the door could u please make a video on that

[@GKOBE]

Nice one!!!!

[@Didilebarbu]

I love your work! That looks amazing! Bravo!

[@71Merc]

Very interesting! The rear reminds me of a 458...

[@mikesavio66]

I'm curious. Is it street legal? like, if you were to be pulled over in this, would the vehicle registration be under a certain make/model?

[@blu3daw9]

What sort of clay did you use? I know some resins hate clay with suffer in it. I'm planning on modifying my Hummer H3 grill and using the clay method with the fiberglass seems to be the best option for me :) Thanks! - Tiffany

[@FallinAssassin]

What would you say would be easier, and less costing..working with clay or foam?

[@S1KRYD]

Clay - on both accounts

[@coltonc4762]

Okay question? And I hope you will reply, I'm wanting to wide body my 01 Accord coupe, what do you recomend, clay, foam, or metal work, it's an every day driver, I want to give it an R34 look without taking away from its actual honda roots.Thanks

[@S1KRYD]

Colton C Clay is your best option

[@TCreatorO]

Damn man, I dont get tired of your car, its awesome! cant wait for you to start working on that nice white celica GT, that as of now looks a lot like mine.... stock lol, today I finished opening one of the bmw headlights, im going to open the other one and paint everything gloss black inside, then rewire them, and get rid of anything im not going to use(i.e. the auto leveling function and things like that) I dont have to computers to control that, nor I have any hopes of getting them, so

[@istharsolis9325]

that the material used to mold the car? Que material usa para moldear el auto?

[@kanecain1981]

How did you make a mold after you've completed the project?

[@GTASAModder1]

Perfect to plant my garden in ;D Awesome job man!

[@vrilthisc368]

What was the silver wrap you used and what paint did you use to stick to it?

[@frankcordoba6109]

How does something like this cost? Let's say, a BMW M4. full all around clay sculpting on the entire car. How much would that be?

awesome !

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks. The rear was strongly styled from the Ferrari Enzo

[@sylv1du71]

The rear is awesome! the front is not my taste... But i have to admit that's not my car lol You done a great amount of work on that supra! Well done ;) and if you love it the way it look, that's awesome! 👍 Your car is the only one in the World!

[@chriscursed2924]

S1KRYD...I will be building my own wide body kit for my car here soon and have some question's... 1...have you ever used foam in your sculptures?I was thinking this would be a fast and easy filler of larger area's... I planned to do the foam only for the large spaces and spread the clay over the area's and form my shapes...if I lay the aluminum and tape over the area after the clay..will the fiberglass resin still get to it enough to ruin the design? 2...how did you match the left with the right? For example:completing the left side skirt or left bumper...is there a technique to reversing that area?

[@S1KRYD]

Sounds good. Would like to see what you come up with. Yes you can use the foam to fill in the large areas and then put your clay on top of this in order to sculpt your new design. As for getting your design symmetrical on the left and right - have a look at my new 90 min video hat explains this process in detail. Let me know if you have any further questions :)

[@LawnWrangler323]

How much do all the materials cost? I mean as far as clay and fiberglass mainly?

[@pineapplepin6525]

That is so cool

[@jasonmichaelfarrant7808]

looks good

[@cotymahar9213]

hello what are all the matrials you used to make that ?

[@alextheromanian]

all tjat work man and your paintjobs look like they came out of a spraycan on a windy day.

[@blacklungs23]

where did you get all that clay to work with and how much did cost you

[@bryanjaurez2418]

The first time i saw this i thought its just a normel build like if nothing worked just the doors but when a saw the car move when you were inside it i was amazed. Oh yeah awsome work dude keep it up 👍

[@S1KRYD]

Bryan Juarez Thanks. I have video of it on the road. Here it is kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6m4f2yuaLiMms0

[@bryanjaurez2418]

[@gg20001000]

how much clay do you actually need to make a whole car?

[@kylesaintjohn]

great work....

[@nicksonmello]

What material and what was used to model, always wanted to know what kind of material this was.

[@LucasVanBeneden]

What is that silver stuff you're putting over the clay. Also where did you get the clay and how expensive is it?

[@S1KRYD]

Lucas Van Beneden Tin foil, Get clay from your local potter, Its cheep

[@chepeb12]

Good Job, thanks for sharing, im going to make my own front lip

[@kjbreaux16]

Is that gelcoat on top of it after the fiberglass?

[@clist9406]

That Supra left in stock condition sells for 70K - 100K in the US

[@IdEk5627]

i love the time lapse tutorial but i feel like ur mixing different body curves and style that dont match. the front looks jdm and the back looks italia. i doesnt fit the car all together. as a car lover its a very confusing concept. it was great u did this but i feel u didnt keep the same style whole car its very all over the place. love the way u did it an all the hours and hard work

[@PorscheMonster]

Thanks friend! I'll give it a try. I'm most familiar with automotive styling clay, but it's very expensive. Do you have issues with the potters clay drying out or shrinking?

[@S1KRYD]

Yes the stuff car company's use is super expensive and is out of reach for 99% of us. So I turned to potters clay and come up with a method that works well. No issues if you don't let the potters clay to dry out. After you have finished for the day cover it in food wrap until you are ready to work on it again.

[@zerohunter64]

Your work is amazing, the front is superb but the ferrari back doenst go quite well at least for me. But you sir are an artist good job

[@limp-orange]

I love all your videos! You are so talented. I would love to see in depth videos, explaining how to do them (With your voice), little tips and tricks, how you measure parts so they are equal or if it's by eye. I found your channel because I was looking for a Veilside Supra, becuase Supras are my favourite car of all time. I must say that Supra has to be one of the best I've ever seen, it's visuals are amazing, how does she go? I strongly dislike chrome rims, but your supra gets away with it!

[@bengalirudeboi]

That's nicceeee

[@Elavity]

Is the clay light? Or is it harder on the motor with all the clay on the body?

[@S1KRYD]

The clay does not stay on the car. It is just used to make the original panel. Then the panel is pulled off the clay and the clay is taken away.

[@JS-xv2uh]

Ok very cool car ;)

[@lukeleighton3134]

We'll done for the effort, big respect but you needed to spend more time on the surface quailty in the clay, that's why all the highlights are puddling on the side of the car. Do you have any clay modelling experience? Have you took fibreglass moulds off it or painted the clay?

[@S1KRYD]

Thanks. The idea is not to get the surface of the clay perfect. This is only potters clay and we do not make a female mould from this like you would if using Y2 clay or equivalent. The idea here is to make a rough panel which you then sand to perfection. It takes more work to do it this way but the average Joe has more time than money and cannot afford 10s of thousands of dollars for the types of clays that car manufacturers use. You cannot paint potters clay because it is wet. To separate the wet clay from the fiberglass materials a layer of tin foil covers the clay first. Then a layer of packaging tape is put over this. Doing this causes imperfections on the surface by its very nature. Then the fiberglass materials are applied. I have much clay modelling experience. But the idea is to bring this kind of clay work to the average Joe and this can only be done by using cheep materials and skill. This is why I have pioneered the potters clay method.

[@teddyclayton6714]

after you have done all the clay work , do you make a mold so for the back and then fill the mold with what ever the back is made of so that the back is the correct size that you wanted and i love your car , i want to do something similar but im still working out how to do it all and need a little help
