Default Royalworks 77 280 Z widebody

This is a project we have going on the side currently, it is going to be a completely custom car. It is a 77 280 z datsun that plans are, getting the whole body widened 5 inches, flush mounted glass, custom quarter glass made, delete bumpers, extend tail pain, make our own body lines in the tail pan, custom rear lights, custom cowl hood, corvette style door handles, and im sure more

the start of the cutting and widening each side out 2.5 inches.











this is to give us an idea where/how everything will sit so we can start adjusting the panels and do more cutting and moving

Very cool!

How do you plan to widen the door frames? I was thinking you might use a second set of doors?

that car is going to look like a Ferrari. Always though these cars were too narrow to begin with. Nice work so far, looking forward to more pictures.

BTW I know the top of the fender is off. I put tabs on all the panels to align them and when I cut them off the fender popped up. I kinda expected something to happen like that. The biggest thing with it right now is fixing the hinges.
