BUILDING A FULL METAL WIDEBODY FROM SCRATCH IN 15 MINUTES (TIMELAPSE) | VZ SS COMPETITION DRIFT CAR

BUILDING A WIDEBODY FROM SCRATCH IN 15 MINUTES
FOR MY VZ SS COMPETITON DRIFT CAR.
It's basically just 15 minutes of OH&S violations. Apparently i don't own saftey glasses... or shoes. lol.
This is 2 months of my life condensed down to 15 minutes.

love how 90 percent of this was done in bare feet and safety squints.

[@TomMelling228]

Saftey second! Get her done!

[@pekrewrek]

09:41 wait wat?! So you're widening the doors too so the car won't look like the sandglass... Haven't seen the result yet, but have to say - I love the way you're doing this widebody! Thanks for sharing the creation process - it's fun to watch and actually pretty valuable as some kind of 'howto'. Okay, now I'm off to seeing the rest of the video :)

Have you thought of a easier way of doing a widebody? I want a widebody vy but don't want to do all this 😂😭 sick rig btw bro

[@TomMelling228]

For the rear this is the only way imo. Doing the front like this tho probably wasnt worth it. I should of just got battle aero or something and modified it to fit. Then got it molded.
Ive done two seasons since this. Currently front guards are destroyed.

[@IKillSh17]

@TomMelling228 I was hoping for a easier way but it could be something to try once the rear end is rooted 😂

[@user-ib2ey5jl4y]

Need to do the lsa engine

[@TomMelling228]

Haha not worth it these days. They got expensive.

[@fishboyskim]

Impressive how damn clean the body curves looked considering how it looked mid way through. How did the wider track feel on the track?

[@TomMelling228]

The fronts the same as always but the rear is a good 130mm wider overall. Rear does feel a little more stable. Its not that noticable but.
I reckon it definitely looks better with the rear matching the front thats for sure.

Nice work man, was wondering how u did it all! 🤙

[@TomMelling228]

Thanks man

[@matthawker7224]

would you like some free safety glasses thomas? maybe some ear plugs?

[@TomMelling228]

What are they? Do you mean saftey squints?

[@JaydenHighwoodDrift]

Atleast he had safety boots on matt

[@matthawker7224]

@@JaydenHighwoodDrift yea. I was surprised when i saw the boots

[@billy4124]
