I actually think this is really cool. Body work is a PITA, so I have to give you credit for the effort you are putting forth. I can't wait to see this thing finished

Car is coming along pretty nice. Keep up the great work. It is very unique. I shall also have to deduct some points for the hatch. Not feeling it at all. It is very third gen, but maybe that is what you want since you have that Heartbeat sticker back there. Great work though...

WTF is that on the rear quarters? Did you roll up play dough and primer over it or are those Bushwhacker fender flares from a truck?

you guys act like its your money your car and your time, amazing, they were probably 2 cars that belonged in the junk yard and hes making somthing out of it, everyone hates the wing, if he puts the one on you guys want then its going to look like just any other ws6. Christ people throw paint at a piece of paper and it ends up selling for millions of dollars, respect it for what it is, you dont have to drive it

Definitely not digging the hatch. Kudos on the craftsmanship though, but i'd loose the fender flares fo sho. Makes me think of those 4x4 camaro's i've seen on here...

With that being said screw all of us and our opinions, i wouldn't be where i am today if i had listened to all the nay sayers i've come across. Keep up the good work!

The car looks good but the spoiler is ugly. Get an ss or t/a spoiler and your good to go

props on the body work,like the way you did the front of the door to blend into the fenders bodyline. the hatch I think may need to be rethought, but will see when it is done, maybe it will work. Anyways keep up the good bodywork.

Looks like it comin along good. I think it looked bad *** in the second set off pics without whatever you put over the rear wheels. Hatch doesn't look that bad.

i think it looks pretty sweet. don't listen to the haters here, people are forgetting what it's like to be different these days. i was wondering how you were going to blend the two body lines on the doors and it looks pretty good! Have you thought about molding the front spoiler in the bumper? if they aren't real strick about front plates i molded the bird insert into the bumper too. obviously those wouldn't be outside of your range of skills

i always love seeing the crazy done to these cars and all the body work, you did an amaizing job blending the front genders and door skins together from the doors forward its awesome, but the back i am a little iffy on ill hold my final judgement when its finally painted and ready to be shown off but right now that hatch makes the car look unpropotionate, unbalanced whatever you want to call it, but i may change my mind once its painted, dont let this sound like an attack on your work, i wish i had the skill to take on what you have done, i really do think it will look bad *** once its finished though
