Using rough cuts with a simple hand saw, he completely transformed the rear end into a fastback design.Then, he carefully applied clay to better shape the corners, fill in all the gaps, and achieve smooth lines for the spoiler.To transform this temporary block into a truly durable and real bodywork, he applied a release agent and laid multiple fiberglass layers.

Liquid resin is poured evenly and pressed down firmly so that it thoroughly soaks every single fiber.Once cured, this composite piece becomes extremely firm and very light.Now it is time to completely destroy the foam core in order to release the rigid composite car hardtop.

Afterwards, he used tape to mark the guidelines, and with a jigsaw, he cut out the louver -type blinds in the rear window, giving it a distinctly imposing and military look.Since the cuts weakened the entire structure, he flipped it over to reinforce the inside with more fiberglass layers.The hardest part was applying body filler and sanding layer after layer to eliminate imperfections and leave the surface completely smooth.With everything ready, he applied a layer of gray primer and then matte black paint.to highlight that rugged and aggressive look of the car.And that is it.
