Making the Fiberglass Widebody! Sky-gea Build: Part 23
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Back to work on the Stagea after a fun break with the Mx5. In this video we finish off the first side of the widebody by prepping the moulds, laying the fiberglass for the new fenders, then trimming and fitting them to the car to wrap up the first side of this widebody.
Enjoy the video.

its safe to say that this is hands down my favorite youtube channel at the moment. 85% my previous ones are getting dull here in the states. If they see this coment i want the real ones to know yall are much appreciated too. Just stop smashing brand new or used parts when youbare replacing them its a real smack in the face to us little guys. its only the ones who grew up getting whatever they wanted their whole lives doing that. And the ither guys thats just cranking out the "look what I got" building a car in 3 weeks with hardly any insight at all for the community. keep your head up your ass long enough every generation will reture u.

Your work is impeccable, there really is no other content on here that even comes close! Can not wait for the future of this channel. Cheers mate!
ここまで丁寧な仕事をする人を他に見た事が無い
Coming along quite well, the paint job will make the difference now
The world's first and only Stagea-Skyline with perfect gaps) Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When this build began I was skeptical about the look and now I see the vision and it's cool.
After watching how much work you’ve put into making really nice fiberglass molds it makes complete sense why my cheap eBay kit doesn’t come close to fitting anything. Another great video.
A very worthy project, it turns out just amazing! I can't wait to see the finale in all its colors.
Looks amazing, definitely the best build of the year imo

Thanks bro!
You must be proud of yourself. The result after months of foam plugs and fiber is perfect!
Man, you're working hard, these videos are coming out quick
The amount of work you’ve put into this is stupidly impressive, one of my favourite KZread channels. Keen to see how you do the other side .
It's always an amazing start to a sunday here in the UK when I get your notifications, you've inspired so much on my own project and thought me so many skills making my dream build in my head a reality. So thankyou so much and keep up the amazing content

@@TofuAutoWorksIn 2 weeks time I've been invited to a photo shoot with some of the best modified max power cars in the UK and I put alot of that down to watching your content Max power was a scene in the UK about 20 years ago and I wasn't old enough to build or drive a car back then, but along with the dream to build one from a kid to watching your content and custom making my own body kit and really getting to build my dream max power car I feel like ive achieved something in life I've always wanted to and to get the recognition in the way i am for the car I've built feels amazing, I could chat all day about stuff, however I'll be vlogging the day of the photo shoot that ill be attending in 2 weeks and id love it if you was able to come across the video on my channel and see the car I built with the skills you gave me. Thanks for always inspiring to think outside the box with every episode.
Workmanship is on point mate🔥
いやぁー 遂に運転席側が終わりましたね! 素晴らしい出来だと思います! 助手席側は給油口がないのでリアフェンダーは難しいアールをかかないので多少は楽かもしれませんね! お疲れさまでした! また楽しみにしてます!
This is my second favourite channel. My first is exactly my taste but this one is consistent in quality, content and honestly everything else. Good job man I love it.
Tbh I'm not a big fan of the original gt-r. But the combination of the Stagea and the Gt-r + the widebody is just perfect. It goes really well together. Beautifull work man.
おおおおおおお!!カッコいい!!! ついに形が出来上がってきましたね…! ハンドメイドでここまでできるのすごい…完成が楽しみです!
Looking mint! All your hard work paid off.
I can imagine it being that orange R35 color with those bronze wheels ❤
Nothing short of genius mate that looks absolutely fantastic. Akira Nakai better watch out.
The most learning proces from uolls, tq so inspirings me to follow, no 1 full of goodness channel for study
35:02 hnnnngggggggg Oh lord I needed that. Cheers brother. ✌🇦🇺
Looking good, Mr. Tofu!!! 💯👍👍👍👍
Wow, GTR wagon!
That looks like it fits better than even a very expensive off the shelf kit, which is an incredible testament to your skills.
From when I 1st saw your Miata appear on the Driftworks Forum it was very clear you have an awesome vision, an eye for design and some talent with fabrication/composites. It's been a pleasure watching you create your sky-gea so far. I look forward to future episodes as the build progresses
Awesome job dude looks incredible and fits so perfectly so all that hard work was well worth the effort! that car will look absolutely amazing in the right colour . Nice job 👍
This guy is just freakin’ cool af.
Man you must be so chuffed with the final look! all that hard work and precision has really paid off. fantastic look and a finish thats second to none 💪
I swear to god you need some deep dish wheels to show off the wideness of the kit. Amazing man.
The workmanship on this car goes way beyond anything else that ive seen and hands down the most inspiring buikd ever 👌🏻
finally! I got to see this project again
Really waiting for your update on this project. Great job! Very clean and perfect body kit you made. 👍
ngl cleaning the garage every time such discipline
The parts just look perfect. Great respect. If you didn't know what work went into it, you could easily think they came from a major manufacturer as a conversion kit for the Stagea. It turned out really, really well and it's always fun to see how the project takes shape.
PERFECT LINES!!! great work
Whoa! That fitment of the front fender was incredible. Fine work!
Masters of fibreglass fabricatings
Wow the result is professional and so dope!!!
お疲れ様です!When you're applying solvent-based release agents usually you can sort of massage it into the surface as opposed to buffing it off, in order to avoid streaks, which I unfortunately cannot explain well enough to render this comment useful 😅 Great stuff, very much looking forward to seeing how you tackle the other side.

I actually know what you mean. If you sort of sit there while it's evaporating and work it at the right moment you can get the finish almost completely streak free. I'm just really impatient and had a lot of moulds to do haha. But still, at least it's only the final layer that has to be buffed and not all 5 - 8 layers of wax that I used to do.
Sending more admiration on your work. Frickin' LOVE your projects.
Я смотрел все серии сотворения этого произведения! Качество изготовления, подгонки и точность настолько высоки, что у меня нет подходящих слов! Я в восторге! Как бы хотелось иметь что-то похожее на Honda Civic EG8 sedan. Аплодирую стоя!!! это просто неверояно!
Your work continues to impress 🔥
Best project on youtube! Looking amazing!
Мужик ты крут. Утро, беру телефон в руки и весит оповещение о новом видео. Значит завтрак будет отличный. Фюзеляж получился просто уникальный и очень классно подходит этому кузову. Классная работа👍 P.s. вот после таких видео и хочется держать свою машину в идеальном состоянии, и вкладывать много сил и упорства.
Just leave me speechless. From start to finish and fitment. Hands down on best workmanship. 👍😁
The result is truly astonishing. I'm really looking forward to the next steps you take on the Stagea. 😉 Your videos are always very relaxing because it's a calm atmosphere. 😊
You finally bought a bristle roller! Nice! Hope it helped you out and will help you with your upcoming projects 👍🏼
Dude you are a beast. Cutting all that glass with grinders without sleeves or gloves. I'd be itchy for weeks and have little water blisters between my fingers. Your work is top shelf keep up the good work!
Wow, just wow! It looks brilliant, so much hard work has gone into this. I can't wait to see the other side finished and then painted.
your patience - I applaud You! 🙌
There is so much that can go wrong when doing composite work that can scrap a mold or part. It always stressed me out prepping the mound and pulling the part hoping that it wasn’t all for nothing. Great job and the car is looking killer!
Absolutely superb vision and craftsmanship. If this doesn’t encourage Nissan to make a GTR Wagon, nothing will. Amazing work!
I love this build... My hats off to you for taking this on. My skin was itching watching you trim the pieces in that A shirt! Amazing work!
I am addicted to your videos.🤓
Some people fall asleep to rain drops and beach noises , i just passed out from power drills and body panel snaps… i think i just found my new insomnia cure. I rewatched the video when i wasn’t tired and it was epic! Thanks man
I thought in the beginning was a hack job above and beyond that. True craftsmanship
Beautiful work. You really are an artist. There's no words to explain it... Congratulations man

I even shut the doors to keep her out when I'm fiberglassing, but she crawls through the walls. It can actually be pretty terrifying. 😂
That’s awesome! I know it’s been a long process but just look at it, you made that! Really impressive. Hats off to you sir!
That quality like stock. I'm looking forward to painting 😆😆
This is better than Project Binky! I am anticipating the Final product and color, a Pearl White would look awesome with what you have created. 😀👍

Best project of the KZread
Playing this on my phone and tv simultaneously for the extra crispy bird sounds
That was one of the greatest build series I've ever seen! I'm sad it's over! The amount of work on that kit is unbelievable. You did an outstanding job on it though! It was so satisfying seeing it come together at the end! Fantastic job my friend! Can't wait to see more!
Preparation makes the project well done and you did well, very very well !
We finally arrived at this stage. Well done Tofu! Its so amazing, its makes me cry!
Wow man... WOW.. This result is just sick! I'm sure you will adress the back side of the car to compliment that impecible wide body ♥
That looks the absolute business! What a cracking job, well done.
this is not work, this is love !!!! good job ! love it
Car looks amazing, but even those molds are a work of art
Dont know how but that buzzing sound at 35:30 literally felt like it was happening in the back of my throat. lol. ( im on headphones) Good job as always!
Just discovered your Channel & you make a good Video with no talking or crap music, your work is spot-on mate.
Congratulations on completing the first half!!!
Looking absolutelly fire!Great craftmanship!
I've been watching this build for a while now and have to say it's hands down my favourite. I would love to see an r35 inspired rear bumper and maybe a rear lip spoiler, keep up the amazing work
Suddenly my youtube play your video on tv ..too happy just abandon my rc repair and watch your sky gea episode
Absolutely amazing work!
YES LADDDD 😎💪🏼 Love it. Can't wait to see it painted in its final colour. R33 Midnight Purple would be epic 😎
Wow..!! the dedication and Hard work. Done Subscribing.! You deserved a million subscribers and i am sure that it will happen in the future, love from the 🇵🇭.
Dude this is insane, you're a fuckiing artist, I can't wait for it to be finished
Really impressive work! So much effort is going into the project
your work is just amazing
I have been following this process for the start, and it's more than perfect 👌🏼👍🏻 keep up.
The car looks good! Can’t wait to see the finished product! And the videos that come before that. 😉 Need to find a space to do stuff like this myself. I always get inspired watching your videos. 🙂
Looks perfect! Amazing! Fantastic work.
Keep it going man.. Your work is awesome.. Truly amazing workmanship.. 👏👏 👏
The fit and finish is impeccable ❤
