that **** is pimp. One of the best foam block builders i've seen! usually what most companies would do OEM companies that build custom prototype cars for big car companies like Ford etc. would use a giant mill to carve out a kit or a shell like that and they would just retro fit it onto the car...i bow down to this guy simply amazing work.

i dont give a **** if its a NSX and not a Ferrari its a kit car now **** is mad pimp!

I work in the automotive design industry and I know exactly what kind of skill it takes to make to do something like that its something I appreciate because its people like them that keep the designs flowing in the industry both aftermarket and factory concept designs like Chip Foose, Syd Mead and the countless thousands of automotive/transportation designers out there like me.

if he can imitate a full car like this imagine what kind of bodykits he would be able to make out of his own imagination? Veilside started out just like this everyone made fun of him trying to make ferrari kits for the 300zx and the silvia's then he took his talent in foam block building and made his own kits now look at him he has an amazing company, has the whole world going crazy over his kits and has millions of smaller companies imitating his bodykits!

I'm not talking about making money I'm talking about how these guys can make some cool *** bodykits, Do-Luck, AB Flug, Veilside, RE Amemiya all the top bodykit companies out there use this same process...with out guys with this kind of skill and imagination we wouldn't have these bodykits out right now.

I used Veilside as an example because he did exactly what that shop is doing...he did Ferrari conversions got laughed at but when he came out with his own bodykits everyone praised him [popularity]...he brought a new style of bodykit design into the scene and was able to keep them functional...the companies i mentioned above followed suit right after wards getting designers like Veilside into their company designing the new craze in bodykits.
