  • minigun rear fender plugs

    This is how far I got before I screwed up my back, hopefully Ill be back to work next week.

    I just have to lay a layer of fiberglass and gelcoat over them and its time to get to making the molds, the rear bumper wraps around and becomes the lower section of the fender flair. Right I dont feel like lifting it into place

    The back part next to the tail light ( blue section) will have a vent like the factory shoguns.

      they look good - I always wanted to see a wider tail light installed inplace of the vents I think the vent looks out of place from the tail light due to the sharpness of the body lines created

        Gotta be honest that little spot I have circled is troubling. It somehow doesnt look quite right IMO.

          It hard to see the contours and how the lower indent blends in but it looks better in real life. But since you pointed it out Ill take a look at it in the morning again, its easy to change minor stuff at this point.

            I like it. Are you going to have a full side skirt or blend to the original rocker panel? The front fenders look like a departure from the shogun. Thank you for the update. Rest that back!

              Im not criticizing! You may be right. The picture may not be doing it justice or maybe the angle is giving it the look of there being like a notch there. IDK

                  Thats why I post the pics, its to get input, some of my ideas just stink and It takes an extra set of eyes to spot them.

                    I think you might have a "better" looking car then the original Shogun.

                          thanks guys, sent the pic to my girlfriend at work Any thanks for all the input negitive and positive, nobody around here works on cars so I rely on you guys to help me correct mistakes before I go to far with them.

                          as for the runner boards its hard to explain how the will look, they will narrow from the front to the back with a coke bottle effect and overlap were the meet the rear flairs.

                          kind of like this but with the short section in the rear and the long peice coming from the front, reverse of what it look like in this picture

                              front fenders , they follow the same basic shape. since these were taken I have widen the track 1 inch per side for clearance and to help fill out the wheel well.
