Thanks for the kudos! A lot of hard work went into this project and I appreciate your positive comments.

I found the foam at an industrial insulation company many years ago. They had it in huge blocks and cut it on a giant table/band saw. I had them cut it in 4x8 sheets 2" thick. FYI

Thanks for all the kudos! I wasn't sure about the wing either...but I went for it any way as I wanted the car more race than street. I guess one could say wings are for race cars and spoilers are for street cars. Different strokes for different folks!

I 'm an artist that can visualize my creations before they are started. I really enjoy 3D work so sculpting comes easy for me. I have been tweaking cars and customizing them for more than 35 years so experience plays a big part in it. I'm glad to hear from you and hope you enjoy it! MAD Matt

@tomrideshortbus I used urethane foam to sculpt the body shape, covered it with fiberglass mat, cloth and resin. I then dug out / removed the foam and sanded the fiberglass, pulled a skim coat of body filler over the entire surface. I then sanded and sanded and sanded ....well you get the idea. Next it was primed several times and sanded some more. After 16 (10) hour days of sanding and blocking it finally received a base coat/clear coat paint. Presto chango....a one off custom body.

Amazing... I dont like the flames, but is not that bad as to kill the car IMO, nice job!!! Very very well done!! Can I ask you what did you use to hold the foam to the car while shaping it? Thanks and once more, great work!!
