dolcexb · 10-23-2009, 01:57 PM

we have it all drawn up already but we have all of the seats and everything out right now cause i just installed the custom katskinz i ordered.. but alot of the waterfall stuff i going to be made of plexiglass at a place here in okc... but im also going to try and get the c pillar subwoofer pods that the guy has on a part out in here to go above the waterfall...

That is sick I have only seen Dave Rivera put tanks in cars. I was studying with Dave down at ii in Daytona Beach, FL. I was helping him re-work his Ford Expedition. Overall a pretty sick setup.

Im as ready to get the damn thing done as you guys are to see pics lol we have been working on for about 4 months now and havent even made it to the month or two of interior stuff.. goal for a complete car is in Feb. for kinda the start of next years show season.. but im going to take some pictures of what it looks like right now at the shop today..

Nice. I never would have thought of using fish tanks!

Black_Sheep_xB · 11-20-2009, 11:06 AM

dolcexb · 03-13-2010, 09:52 AM

Ok well i have two scions so i just started getting back to work on this one but heres some new pics of what i have gotten done this week.. Im about to really start working on this thing and get it done so ill post pics over the next few weeks as i progress but heres a few...

The small pieces are welded in now and will be completely molded on monday just getting the fitting correct for now.

Heres the split hood. Its getting close to being done... Im going back with cleared heads and the vizage with be turned into a FFF soon

Post more pics pry around Wednesday after i get some more done

slothead · 03-13-2010, 03:11 PM

Very glad to see the new pics. Thought you'd gone away for good. The split hood is very cool. I have never seen a hatch like that either. It's brilliant! Are you still going to do a waterfall with your fishtanks?

im def. still doing the waterfall. Thats why i made the hatch like i did.. Im going to try to get the water flow from the right and left with the two smaller hatch pieces.. hard to explain what i mean but.. thats kind of the idea for now..but im just trying to hurry up and finish the outside shit so i can move in to the fun creative stuff. but i dont want the out side to not be as cool as the inside.. Im still trying to decide what color to do.. I have changed my mind 100000 times lol I already painted my vienna dish rims one color and im not sure if i like them or not yet..

slothead · 03-13-2010, 03:26 PM

Oh don't worry. You've def covered the "cool" on the outside....

Boy i can't wait to see pics of the inside, too. This is awesome. or as i like to say, "Awesomesauce!"

dolcexb · 03-13-2010, 03:35 PM

haha Well hopefully i can just get the damn thing back together.. As long as i say it fast it doesn't seem like a big deal lol Then i go back and actually look at whats left for me to do i about shit myself. Im excited for the inside though.. but i really need to pick a color for the whole car and interior... Im looking at different blues for the whole water theme. But im also considering going back to like the camo green and just doing a bunch of air brushing with seaweed and fish.. so IDK

slothead · 03-13-2010, 03:41 PM

I like the water blue or seaweed idea. Or you could go with the Great Wave at Kanagawa. That could be kinda cool. whatever. (I still think you need a shachihoko on your roof.)

dolcexb · 03-13-2010, 03:50 PM

Lol your not helping. your just giving me more idea to knock around in my head... I want the outside of the car to be completely done by April 1st that way i can start on all of the inside stuff because alot of the inside stuff will need to be painted as well.. I assum most of it will be made of fiberglass

boomxboom · 03-13-2010, 03:55 PM

sick man never seen fishtanks in a car before.

Sorry. It's my prob, too. and that's one tight schedule you're on. I have LOTS of ideas, but usually i just mod toys.... (no skills, tools, or money to do the awesome stuff you do)

Whatever you do is gonna be gorgeous. (pics, please)

dolcexb · 03-13-2010, 04:20 PM

Well thanks, I just have a little bit more freedom to put my crazy ass ideas to work.. I have a body shop sponsor who helps me out on all of this stuff. But trust me as soon as I get more done ill keep this thread posted.

slothead · 03-13-2010, 04:22 PM

OK! Now git ta werk!

(I can wait for the awesome pics.)

I am just so glad you're back....
