🔥 GTCharlie 🔥 | Release Series 1.0 | Turbocharged, Wide Body, Mint Tiffany Blue RS1
 

Dear Grandma



I think I finished the overall design of my project for you. It has just enough subtle and just enough aggression to sum up you and I. People ask about the color a lot. I tell them that it was to resemble the innocence of our relationship, taking it back to a time where you and I just rolled a bouncy ball back and forth between our legs.


I didn't go crazy wide body, but I still think there is a better kit out there for me to show you.


Since taking this car back home in July, 2016, I've always wanted to build it to my final dream, how I saw it finished in my head and taking it to you to admire. So many people had so much to say, both good and bad, but the only opinion I care about the most is yours.



I'm even prouder to tell you the mass majority of the work was done by myself.

I remember taking my bumpers and body pieces up to my apartment just to wrap it when I had nowhere else to go.

I remember learning the math of width, spacing and diameter and how it affects me when going wide.

I remember giving up hope when a Craigslist seller sold me a bad trunk with poorly threaded holes, but I also remember learning how to tap and dye that very next day and fixing that issue.

Painting in weird places, wide body cut-ups in 4 hours and endless re-wrapping just to get it right.



The amount of fame was amazing. I started a clothing line called Driftset (driftset.net), and people wanted to be involved as a car group! I've inspired drivers and enthusiasts everywhere!




I wish you could see how far I've gone

Really good looking build! How are the blox lower control arms btw? I'm thinking of picking them up.

Yo, welcome to the forums Charlie. I think you'll find a few other PNW people here =] Cool to see all the details of your build in one place.
