So far so good... now to really jump start my cnc carving machine. btw, only 2000 new Nissan Z cars have been sold since its inception. Image Unavailable, Please Login

I had to change the rear fender for it to look more balanced... ended up using the Ferrari FF sides to make a nice clean side piece. I will probably revert to the previous sides starting from the mid section down. Went for a Lambo concept for the hatch and because its was so squared in the rear I decided for the Merc Sterling Moss rear with tail-light features from the Daytona Sp8 combo I had made earlier this year. Problem is it doesnt look as nice which I think has to do with not keeping the top tail light corners as original.

I had finished my old CNC machine and decided to create smaller cheap ones to make side money and as I was looking for spare parts on Craigslist I came upon a great deal on a much larger gantry to make a new CNC machine. That is now complete with only tuning left to start cuts. The smaller dirt cheap machines which Im looking to build for profit will have an open source design for anyone else to do the same. More details on that here and the Reddit link within. https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/what-is-the-maximum-amount-of-money-youd-pay-for-an-audi-van-kit-car-like-this.9544659/?post_id=116234898#post-116234898 My first project will be a 1/5 scale car and I'll be using those design features for my life size car design. Opinions to better the design welcome.
Wow its been over a year since my last post, I was running a Youtube channel that got nuked in February (still on wayback machine archives @burnabycomputer) which had almost 9k subscribers and I was getting 1k subs a month towards the end before getting banned. I had some poverty problems to find space for my Nissan ZX donor car and also quickly put together a tiny home inside a Toyota van to sell. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van/rvs/d/burnaby-toyota-previa-recreational-van/7893078192.html Now Im preparing my toy sized "super car" design to make 3D printed molds so that I can squeeze paper mache into it and make multiple copies of the car to sell. Doing this also opens the option of modifying the paper brick car and even adding clay on top, like the following, to further enhance it by hand, scan it, and to CNC large makes.

It should take me half a month to finish the toy car, then start prepping the ZX surfaces, preparing negative 3D molds, then to carve it out with my large CNC machine.
