Anyways if you can check the size of inside door panels and centre console i can arrange a set of granturismo or quattroporte for your car i mean VENOM for now.

Hey Farooq thanks a ton for the support man. as for now we dont have anything in mind but surely wont mind a rejected v12 lying around..what say?

well some more better pics.

The design has made the car look very stable and has acquired a very nice stance.
The rims which are on right now, look very nice with it. Are you planning to change them?

faithless_1984 · 26th January 2010, 23:48

It looks really promising.!
Great job.

Rudra Sen · 26th January 2010, 23:48

Sorry, I haven't gone through all the replies here. What's the colour you're planning to go for?

This surely going to look great. Body shape and contours look promising. Do not go over board with loads of stripes/graphics and funny colours.

Don't get me wrong. It has tremendous potential.

Cyrus43 · 27th January 2010, 01:42

Shall reserve my comments till I see a finished product. dont mess it up is all I can say. Keep it simple.

cadaver_prad · 27th January 2010, 03:02

So far looks really good.. Has a lot of potential. BTW is the body on the painted side in fiberglass or still thermocol?

Psycho · 27th January 2010, 09:44

The design is coming out good still need to know whether the body is going to be fibred as the current snaps show the thermocol has been given a surfacer coat.

Hi,
I probably missed this answer somewhere in the thread, but by when would your Muscle Car hit the roads? it would be awesome to see the finished product!! all the best and I keep visiting this thread in the hope of seeing new pics everynow and then!!

longhorn · 27th January 2010, 10:19

Looks pretty good as of now except for the A pillar which doesn't seem to gel with the rest of the car. I guess it's from the Conti. Anyways hoping you guys end up with a wonderful machine.

suhaas307 · 27th January 2010, 10:28

Good stuff guys! She's coming out really well! Have you guys given yourselves a deadline to complete the project? And any updates on the V8?

Doesn't sound that good for a car IMO, how about SABER?
