I've been having exams lately which make me a little bit stressed out. However these videos of you working on the stagea really make me cheer up and be happy. Thank you Tofu Auto Works!

[@user-cu2ix2cs5b]

너도 최근에

[@martinm4961]

Excellent work! I feel like your design style has evolved so much for the better from the Mazda. Your choice of lines and the width of the flares keep it very tasteful. Looking forward to the next episode! 😃

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Yeah I definitely feel that too. I'm putting more thought into the functionality of the design rather than just "Let's make the widest widebody I can" which was my design philosophy on the Mx5.

[@southpineshooligan]

Lesson's were learned with the miata, this has to be functional to drive, and legal.

[@markh4426]

You sir, are an artist!! I also don't know if it has been said before but, you are an example to the youtube community for always using safety equipment where needed and taking your health seriously!

[@Titantitan001]

Absolutely, so many people are willing to do the wrong things and somehow thinks it makes sense to upload it and act like some sort of teacher. Theres a few guys I watch that still take it seriously but many dont. Heck I’ve been seeing videos where the comments get spun up because they are doing it wrong and the next video they are mocking the comments. If you are gonna do the wrong thing just dont upload lol.

[@wasabicars]

Seeing such skills on display like this make me wonder what I'm even doing with my life

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Haha, mate you're out there inspiring thousands of people everyday. Not to mention you have a proper grown-up job on top of all the amazing content you put out. I mean this when I say it, if it weren't for you and people like you out here showing what the car community has to offer, I doubt I'd be where I am today and probably wouldn't have ever bothered with KZbin.

[@Luba_z_mesta]

Man! You are absolutely the guy to go to for a kit! Your attention to lines is what a lot oh the modders are missing! Great stuff!

[@TofuAutoWorks]

Cheers man! I really appreciate that!

[@scottm6130]

Loved watching you sculpt the foam from an ugly block into something that just looks right on the car. I don't think I'll look at an M35 Stagea the same way again after seeing this come to life. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Duvstep910]

That little trick for drawing where you are going to cut is the coolest thing ever. 🇯🇲 big up.

[@kizirayukio281]

как же она бомбически выглядит в этом обвесе, желаю что бы ты остался доволен симметрией, когда будешь делать вторую сторону, а ещё, слушать звук работы инструментов очень приятно

[@byronbynoe5526]

Really enjoy this type of content, where your work does the talking. No need to explain what’s goin on, clearly articulated. Great Job!!

[@tilly0191]

When you spend a looong time doing 1 side knowing you'll have to do the other 😅😂. Love this build, been watching from the start. Bravo 👏

[@c4membert760]

How come there isnt an easy method to flip the molds.

[@tilly0191]

@C4membert he does em separate, he uses basic tools to do his work. No fancy computer gadgets, he's certainly talented either way 👌

[@hakimhawae7123]

I watched all 22 episodes and really enjoyed it.

[@_autoverse]

I like how you’ve incorporated existing body lines into the design, they emphasise the extra width.

[@Gus247365]

So amazing watching the process... Easy to take for granted when you see the finished article but the amount of work that goes in to the design process, the shaping etc, let alone creating the moulds and everything else that goes in to producing the final product!! Massive respect! :)

[@Keasbeysknight]

Great use of the existing body lines, a laser and a long bending ruler. Looks great!

[@kamvladi620]

Колоссальный объем работы! Молодцом!🤝

[@911fabien911]

Whaou, what an amazing job! It is fantastic, congratulations!!!!!

[@matthewgibbs1079]

Bravo man....just wow, so much work, so much skill, and what an amazing design for the widebody.

[@TheRSGarage]

Mate you are so next level with all this it's insane. Total inspiration

[@LuRyLaMa]

I just Binged watch the videos for this series! Man, i wish i had your videos when i was building a fastback for my Miata back in 2018. This thing is going to be amazing!

[@southpineshooligan]

It's looking fire! Can't wait for the next update!

[@i.am.adrian]

Love watching you work, finding the right lines, refining, adjusting, refining again. It's fascinating. I always look forward to your videos!

[@chuxfd3s]

This video was worth the wait. Excellent job!

[@bebturboz]

You're doing a masterful job. So nice to watch. Keep it up. Don't get tired 🤘

[@benjaminkruse8305]

Mind blowing as usual! Such great work and excellent eye for details 🙌🏽

[@Mr-ut7nj]

Epic!! Widebody looks awesome!

[@pete1973x]

It looks incredibly cool mate. Love watching you work - can’t wait to see the final product.

[@dovydas.linkus]

33:08 Ayyyyyyyyy!!! There it is 😂😂 The progress you've made and the information you give out is phenomenal! I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for that, for providing so much learning material. Thanks again Sensei and keep the videos coming 🔝🔥

[@diklongley01]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, goes someway to explaining why a body kit for my car would cost at least 35% (before paint + finishing) of the car's purchase value . Outstanding! 👏👏👏

[@TheGenuineRannix]

The amount of progress each video is astonishing!

[@mohamedallie6430]

Daaaang. That looks 🔥. I am in awe of the work you are doing on this stagia. That wide body is gonna look so cool man. Watching in anticipation

[@the-d2506]

When the video says 'Press CC for subtitles'... But not a single word is spoken👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

Good job Tofu. I love this car.

[@paulblack1811]

Man that’s starting to look so friggen good!

[@VeyronBD]

Thats very cool, you can really see the shape coming together now, the way you followed the factory lines gives it such a nice design. It will need a cool paint job after for sure, something bright or a cool pearl metalic maybe. Look forward to the next one!

[@cavidalero2514]

Such a great Job man, seriously be proud of what you do, im about to start my own widebody project and your videos just make me feel boosted!! 🔥🔥

[@E9JMX]

Class work yet again 😎😎😎

[@WexWerxScott]

Bro that kit is coming together! Nice work!

[@witchcraftauto]

This is becoming one sick car! Can't wait to see how you mimic this design to the other side, looking to start desiging my wide body on my G35 soon.

[@sultankuto8724]

Amazing work good sir,love working on cars and joyfully driving them after, goodwill to you.

[@orni2490]

it is very interesting to see how the body kit for the Sta-GTR is created and what effort it is But that's something to be proud of, they look like they were made for it

[@jimapostolakopoulos3343]

Amazing work

[@lukaszglonek7045]

Witam cie serdecznie oglądam cie z podziwem jesteś widać milosnikiem samochodowym i podchodzisz do wszystkiego fachowo i znasz sie na rzeczy już sie nie moge doczekać efektu końcowego pozdrawiam Polski

[@MrPoli166]

Looks amazing, greetings from Poland

[@mket_design]

I'm still impressed how you are pulling out all those tricks out of your sleeves with 9 of the 10 times you don't wear sleeves and all. 😂🤣 That's what makes your channel so dam cool in my opinion.

[@highlightzplusYT]

Brilliant. I'm hooked. I hope you get someone nice give you a GTR engine and gearbox to compliment this build. This car is special. You are awesome.

[@Saurion1]

I don't know if you're already planning on doing it but I think that since the front fenders won't be covering the whole bumper you should maybe add a canard or something along those lines to make the car look lower and complete the front end. Awesome progress, can't wait to see the finished parts! This car might even dethrone the RS6 Avant as my favorite wagon ever.

[@johnpartridge7623]

Great job mate 👍👍👍

[@michealpahl8523]

Fantastic!

[@sadsamr-un8rl]

From Iraq, very wonderful design and work, I congratulate you

[@kenecchi]

I'm also amazed at how rudimentary the MX5's body kit looks next to this! Reminds me of TwinZ's 300ZX widebody; just really clean-looking and complimentary to the car.

[@boostedred_473]

Excellent job my brother .I can see ur a perfectionist like I am.

[@simonharaldsvik3470]

amazing work

[@ilkaybuyuksahin]

Crazy build keep it up! ❤

[@paulhamoen3894]

Very nice job!!

[@SuperRon]
