After the 25years experience of my life in auto modification you inspired me with your work of excellence

Your eye for even the little details is something I've never seen like on youtube before, of course every skilled Auto design person has some but you are something else if that makes sense. You take it to another level with how you put in all that extra time n hard work just just even get the smallest adjustment spot on. So glad I found your channel months n months ago

This car is the personification of the phrase "Mid life crisis"

I can now sort of envision the front end and in my opinion it will be awesome 👌. Adding the big Brembos would also add to the car's muscular feel, albeit costly. I also think that a lighter colour such as silver would benefit your lines, so will adding darker wheels.

bruh i was today years old when i found out this isnt a small workshop in japan - but a garage in new zealand. good shit g

Once again, simply awesome. Great clear masking tape hack. Looking good man. I ran out of popcorn 🍿. Didn’t want to get up & get more.

It looks SO good without bolt hole recesses!

I can't stop thinking that you still need to do the other side of the car..... 😮

My one year old woke me up around 2:40 A.M. (I’m in Dallas) this morning… I looked at my phone and saw this notification. So I did what any dad would do, watched this while holding him in the wee hours of the morning.😊

My day is better when you load a new video!!

You’re my biggest inspiration.

Awesome work as always! That book reading got me :D

Great start to a Sunday morning 😁

If anyone is wondering whether or not to watch 46 minutes of a guy sanding body panels then I can assure you it is worth it! Absolutely incredible and such an eye for detail it is inspiring.

Living the best life. Love to see people go this deep into a build. Keep up the work. Would love to try this my self!

To do one side is amazing,but to copy it over to the other side is incredible.props to you 👍

Watching you doing bodywork is so special. Thanks for sharing. Catch you soon in the next one.

Unreal dude, amazing work!

Absolute class, talent at its finest

You've done it once again... Your practical technique and impeccable attention to detail is "off the charts!". Thanks for sharing

for me the best series actually on youtube, should run in tv to inspirate young people!

An another great video of perfectionnism! 👌

Just amazed at the amount of precision you nail with the tools you got. Lookin' clean!

Great way to start the morning ☕

your level to detail is above and beyond anyone else on youtube and thats why this is my favourite channel on here. keep up the amazing work, im literally waiting for your next episode as soon as i finish the last🙌🙌🙌

New video! NICEEEEE!

good for you putting all the hours getting it perfect. you will have a final result that you will be so proud of

awesome work

Thankyou Tofu. We appreciate your hard working ethic and excellence to detail. It’s looking super 👍

Nice work man! Looked like an arkleogical dig site from ancient Greece when you started cleaning 😂

For all this side skirt part, I think that a 3d Printer would be the right solution. You will make parts more easily

It would look so good in a deep grey gloss!

Awesome work dude can't wait to see the molding

Tnx for another episode of diy awesomeness. You're a real Artist and I'm amazed by your craftsmanship and new tricks every time in a new episode. Keep up the good work.

An idea just popped to my mind. Using an animation laser with custom grid pattern, one could "easily" copy a shape from a part to another side. Like say one has a concave surface and a grid pattern is projected to it. Then the grid is manipulated and shaped to show as being square and even on the given surface. Then the pattern is simply mirrored and projected to the other side. After sanding and shaping, the pattern will eventually get more square. But now that I think about it, it would be a million times easier (also to the eyes) to just do it with an old projector and some Photoshop etc. skills.

@Finnspin_unicycles

It's a clever idea, but if you go all the way with creating that custom grid, you are not so far of just 3D scanning and machining the molds..

@TofuAutoWorks

9 ай бұрын

This is actually close to the exact method I used to replicate my original Miata widebody. The process to mirror from one side to the other by hand is actually a lot simpler than people tend to think because you've already done the hard part of figuring out what all the lines and dimensions are, so if you have a clear grid and a set of contour gauges it's a straightforward albeit time consuming process. For this one though I wanted to both speed it up and also not bore everyone with the same approach so I'll be using a new method to replicate the other side.

as usual, it's amazing !

Absolutely baller craftsmanship. Incredible job

crazy videos dude! love to see it.

May I ask, are you going to make a mold of the front and rear widebody just in case?

OMG .,it's amazing bro

Your ambition and talent are totally inspirational. This is giving me dangerous ideas! Are you doing the other side at the same time?

There are some videos that makes you think: ”hey, I could do that!” This isn’t one of them😂 You’re seriously skilled, the feeling you have is sublime! A joy to watch! That car will look shmicko!👌🏻

The thing is, almost all the steps I show in my videos are relatively straight forward. Just massively time consuming. I always say time is a substitute for experience and skill. It's entirely possible to get the same results as a pro if you have a good eye and take as long as it needs. That's why this build has almost been going for a whole year haha, maybe one day I'll have the skills and wont have to spend so much time.

@TofuAutoWorks

9 ай бұрын

Not long to go now until it's ready for sealer for final mold making! Each episode I put up is between 1 - 2 weeks of work. This episode was closer to 3 weeks. So I'd say around 28 weeks, well over a thousand hours to get to this point. But a lot of that will be planning shots and setting up the camera, filming b roll, editting, capturing photos for Instagram etc... Actual hands on work is probably closer to 700 ~ 800 hours.

Very cool to see your take on the four door 35 stagea ! Judging by some of the stickers onbyour hoist you must be a kiwi? Keep it up chuur

13:31 bit of percussive maintenance. 😂 It’s all starting to really shape up nice.

Any chance you'll be making the over fenders multiple pieces where fender and bumper splits? so the over fender isn't covering 2 panels?

Brabo!

Can you later also make 3D model by scanner? So maybe anyone can use it later in games or mods for games. Great work as usual, btw. I really like this project. Why no any gap on the front sideskirt widebody cap?

続きを楽しみにしてました｡

As you always mention "thanks for watching". I must say, thanks for creating this content. Also, maybe consider keeping the widebody without the bolt holes ? On seconf thought I dont know if thats even possible.

@TofuAutoWorks

9 ай бұрын

Thanks man I really do appreciate it. So I will be putting bolt holes in but that's because designing it with bolt holes give the most options for other people. If you like exposed bolts - Great. If you want hidden hardware - Fill them in with glass or glass filler. If you want it moulded in - Attach however you like and blend it into the panel. If I left it as it currently is with no bolt holes then it would just reduce the amount of ways people could install it and I like to be able to give people the ability to personalize their own builds as much as possible. 👍

Captivated for the entire video. Loved your humour about reading and sanding. Always such a pleasure watching you work. You’re doing really, really well.

Great a new post!!! …. What filler am i to use over foam? Anyone? …. I should be inspired for the day after this post 😃👌🏻

@TofuAutoWorks

9 ай бұрын

Over foam you want to start with a layer of fiberglass. The reason you want to do this is becuase when you're sanding the body filler, if you get down to the foam it will be incredibly thin and just resting your hand on it can dent / crack it. Having the fiberglass layer there means you get rid of that issue. It also means that if you sand through your bodyfiller then rather than hitting foam and having to grind it out and reapply more filler, you just see the fiberglass and stop sanding. For filler, there is no special type so just use whatever's available. I just what I can get from my local hardware store.
