custom works : A story of a scooter and a chopper!~

danoneism — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 11:27:08 +0000

Here’s a new experimental custom project… This idea came after i saw some of Indonesian customizer done this.. Well this one actually a new trend in town.. started from japan.. customized scooter trend is spreading all around the world.. In Malaysia, this trend is more popular in East Malaysia… (Yeah!~ im from the east).. but very rare to spot in West Malaysia… (Most car/motorcycle trend start from East… ex. Euro, VIP, USDM, Scooters and 4X4s)…

Anyway, enough of the talk.. lets start with the progress..

Starts with Welly’s Yamaha Tmax and a custom chopper by Maisto..

Just out from the box…..

Chopper by Maisto.. hurm.. looks like a cross over of a superbike and a chopper.. wutever.. i just want those wheels…

Yamaha!!~

Started by ripping of the Chopper…

Lowered the rear suspension…

Then continue to the chopper… all bodykit has been removed…

Maisto really dont want ppl like me to open this part up.. they stick them together using super glue.. (eww.. not so standard for a OEM produt to use super glue..).. end up i just broke this part off..

Back to the scooter… I’ve start by dismantle all the component of the scooter.. Since all part were screw together it is not a big problem to dismantle it cleanly…

Need to remove the mudguard cover in the pic in order to make it fit for the new fork…

Test fit no1…. hurm.. looks weird.. the front fork angle was wrong…

Need to lower it more.. Still considred as high..

Then after several try and error here’s the final look.. ( not so final yet..)… the best thing is the stand is functional.. the scooter cannot stand without it..

Here’s another shot… need some bodywork for the under flaring to make it look neat.. and lastly a new paintjob…

Progress to be continue… stay tuned for more….

custom works : Hw Aston Martin Vantage Widebodykit

danoneism — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 19:08:15 +0000

its been a while since the last time i do a customizing project. So this time i choose the aston martin vantage by hotwheels which i’ll add on some widebody kit. i got this car in loose condition from the local night market and i have another one which is still in the card.. (keep one card and loose the rest)… i think enough of writing.. just let the pix speak for itself…. enjoy…

One busy evening at the workshop……

then came a guy called david… ask me to pimp his aston martin….

so i proposed to add on some customize widebody kit to his car… then the process begans…..

For the fender, i’ve used aluminium to shape it. this one is an experimental material since i never used it before.. it just came across my mind to try using it… it is easier to use since it will bend following the arch….

after finish with the formworks, ive add putty to shape on the widebody kit… this time i use wall putty since it takes longer time to cure therefore gave me more time to shape the bodykit…

after the final coating.. the car was completed.. here’s the pix…

comparing the widebody kit to a standard audi TT… hehe

hope u guys like this one…

cheers!~

Nowdays, there are many modding project done by local forumers. But do you know is it right or not to add the word “custom” to ur title projects…

according to WIKIPEDIA…

“A custom car is a passenger vehicle that has been modified in either of the following two ways. First, a custom car may be altered to improve its performance, often by altering or replacing the engine and transmission. Second, a custom car may be a personal “styling” statement by the re-styler/re-builder, making the car look “unique” and unlike any car that might have been factory finished.”

from the statement above, the 1st point is already out of our reach since hotwheels car is only a toy… then the second point said that it has been add some personal styling which make it look unique and unlike any car from the factory….

then, as a conclusion, a repaint car or a decalized car can’t be count as custom car and to be honest its looks more like ah beng’s style to me…… so please do ur checklist before using the word “custom” on ur title project….

happy customizing…

danoneism — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 20:11:59 +0000

this is how it starts….. i uncarded my 32′ ford vicky.. then a bit disappointed with the engine casting… but must remember that this casting is one of the first version that produced by hotwheels way back on 1968…. even before i was born!~… so that will be a good excuse for explaining the level of details…..

then after the customizing process it evolve into a rat-rod… hehe..
