The body filler begins! Sky-gea build: Part 4

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video we finish up the welding by completing the second fender and then we make a start on the body filler. This stage is one of the most difficult parts of the build as I need to get both fenders identical and fitting perfectly before I can make my moulds.
I'm going to try and get this stage of the video done as quickly as possible to not bore you all with weeks of sanding.
Also I've been putting much less background music in these latest episodes, let me know if you are enjoying this new format or if there are any changes you would like me to make.
Enjoy the video.

    Thank you so much to everyone for the amazing feedback on this video. I've been blown away by how much everyone is enjoying this new build series! I always try to respond to everyone's questions in these comments sections and I'd just like to remind everybody to turn on the video subtitles as a lot of the time these will answer your questions! Thank you! A quick reminder to hopefully address some common questions I've been getting: - These fenders are only intended to be used as plugs for mould making, the final fenders fitted to this car will be made entirely out of fiberglass. This is why I didn't weld the panel fully and why I have been adding so much reinforcement to the inside to keep the shape solid. Not to mention the body filler that is over 10mm thick in some spots. I may be rough but I'm not that rough haha. - Both the front and rear of this car will be fitted with over fenders. This is because the GTR front is significantly wider than the Stagea and so the rear must be widened to match. A bolt on widebody is the cheapest and easiest way to do that and so I opted for that method for anybody interested in buying this kit once it is available for sale. - I specialize in composite bodywork and so with a lot of my builds you will see me focus on just the exterior of my vehicles. To be honest, this is just what I prefer doing. There are some amazing channels here on KZread that do builds that I could never even hope to hold a candle to. But what I enjoy the most about working on cars is the design aspect. I want to get my hands on as many different vehicles as possible and if I were to do full builds on all of them each build would take well over a year to complete. I have many many more builds planned for this channel on a wide range of different styles, I hope you will all stick around! Thank you all again so much for being the most awesome subscribers I could have asked for.

I think it's awesome you can turn out the work that you do and have variety by focussing on what's important to you. I was really inspired by the Miata build (I'm now building a hardtop for my Vitara 😅) and look forward to seeing more of the Sta-GTR. Keep it coming, you're an inspiration 👍
