Tool is a great modder in real life aswell...:)

 

It just seems the real one takes a bit longer... :lol:

[Tool831]

well of course.. :D Anyways, here is a update..

 

This is the Hood, myself and my dad wanted it to look different to what you normally see. So my dad came up with this design and i photoshopped it and we both agreed. So here is the WIP of it.

------------------------------------------------

 

Besides that there has been some rubbing down and filling scratches and paint chips etc.. So that its nice and smooth and ready to be painted basically.

[Immelmann]

Sounds good!

[Shy Guy]

Sounds great! Someone mentioned an LS7 before, what engine will you and you're dad put in this, it would be a real monster if you get a Hemi V8 :p

[Pherelas]

Can we see the photoshopped photo of it, looking good. And why make it look different when they are so rare anyway?

[Tool831]

@Shyguy: We already got the engine.. If you looked a page back. And ive already said that putting a V8 or any type of large motor is just stupid.. As myself and my dad aint super rich

 

--------------------------

 

@Pherelas: There is alot of Eureka's in Australia what i know of and we have seen designs etc and alot use the normal bonnet scoop etc so we wanna make it look different and make it what we want it to me. As you can do nearly everything with Fiberglass.

[Shy Guy]

The motor is from what car/brand?

[Tool831]

Alfa Romeo 33 CloverLeaf.

[Grin116]

Monster garage?! :) amazing car!

[Tool831]

Update!

 

As my photobucket bandwidth has gone to crap and doesn't make images work.. I've updated the first page with everything i know about what its going to have etc. :)

 

New images are also added in first post etc.

[Baltoman]

Dog included? :lol:

[Immelmann]

Is it shiny now?

[Tool831]

Nope.. Still crappy red.

[Immelmann]

Hmm.

 

Are you going to make it shiny when it's done? *Hopes*

[Shy Guy]

looking nice, will it have Airbags and safety things? and what platform is it built on?

[Tool831]

Hmm.

 

Are you going to make it shiny when it's done? *Hopes*

 

Thats a stupid question.. :lol: Of course its gonna be shiny when finished.. Why would i make look like crap. :cheeky:

 

looking nice, will it have Airbags and safety things? and what platform is it built on?

 

As far as safety goes its going to have seat belts and thats it for safety on this. Custom steering wheels can't have airbags (as far as i know) aswell there is no doors so there can't be any reinforced metal bars inside the door like standard cars. So basically if myself or my dad was to crash this it most likely would not be able to be repaired depending on what type of crash.

 

Platform as in chassis? Cause if so the fiberglass body sits on a VW beetle 1600

[DoMw94]

nice car!

[Tool831]

Tour around the eureka.. :)

 

[CarMadMike]

It's come on a lot, It looks great

[Tool831]

update..

 

We are now stripping the car down back to the chassis, and sometime this week i believe it will be away for a month to be painted and the offical paint colour is 'Nitro Blue' which has silver crystals within the blue to give it the overall effect. :)

[Tool831]

Can't really explain whats been done since my last post :lol: to much to explain but ill try and give you a good sorta up to date write up.

 

Body and everything is now painted, it will be picked up on Tuesday. Got some quick mobile images of it in the painting booth with the under coat Not the final paint job. :)
