Finally saw a sneak peek of your hot wheels car! Its amazing man! I think you should do a roof spoiler, and make some tail light covers to get the circular look.
I used to do lots of fiberglass repairs in the military as an aircraft mechanic. I thought I was pretty good, but watching these videos just makes me realize how much a novice I really am. Also, glad you showed us the sheep. I was going to ask. 😂
First time you have told us what the car will be used for😲Kind of glad its your "tow vehicle"🤔all the attention will be on the trailer and not on the "In famous" rear end😂spats, splitters and a spoiler👌
Man I’m loving this series! I’ve started randomly one night and never miss an episode since! I’ll love to give you a new possibile idea: I think you should modifiy the rear light and making them a GTR style (R35). I think this would make more cohesive and unique.
Well, I disagree. Wagons with pinlights lose their mighty appearance. The 850 T5R is king of the taillights - if you like it or not. Just because there is a R35 front doesn't mean there has to be an R35 rearend, too. It's not a R35 wagon, it ist still a Stagea - even with a proper face surgery.
I hope that this is a full time job at this point. Your attention to detail. It must have been hours of work for just this video! And I know that I might annoy you with the following question, but have you given any thought to the rear lights? I think that the circular headlights are just iconic and with your attention to detail, they'd work perfect on this car!
Right so I have been watching Tofu for a good while now , I though the turn on captions was him being a troll 😂 as he does not speak. So I would watch ASMR style not understanding what’s going on. What a fool iam , everything gets explained in the captions 😂😂
i really wish i could do something like this one day. however due to germanys strict laws on car modifications itd either cost a fortune to pass inspections or only be usable on a track. its great to see you do this either way though. greetings from the other side of the world and hope you do well!
Ironically, one of the guys I've been speaking to who is also building one of these cars is from Germany. But yes, I know the pain with the TUV, we have our own version here in NZ and it can be just as difficult to get these cars road legal.
Have you ever watched B is for build. He is into the 3d printing and making moulds. He has put a old mustang body on new chassis and done body work among other things. I told him to come watch you and learn a thing or 2. Love your vids from Australia. CHOICE Bro
I love your work but I have a question. Are you sure how the rear flare and diffuser fit together? I think the whole job is very elegant but I think that the union is not very in the style of the whole kit. 😊
When you cut it into pieces using whichever 3D print slicing program you use (I use PrusaSlicer) most of them have the option to include the holes for dowels or pins directly on the cut join as you make it which aligns them perfectly in each piece. For CAD work all you have to make is the part itself, you don't need to worry about splitting it up into pieces.
3.0mm Gelcoat sprays real thick so if you are spraying it and need to strain it, I often have to poke extra holes in my 180 micron strainers with a bamboo skewer just to get the gelcoat to filter through.
I reckon I'll leave it to the audience to decide, I could go either way but it depends on if we're all sick of this build yet or just me haha. Definitely not trying to farm comments and engagement or do the classic UA-camr tricks like that.
How did you take into account the fiberglass piece coming out of the mold being smaller than the mold itself? Did you just make the mold "slightly larger"? Or was there actual math to this?
In CAD we offset the outer face of the design 3.5mm from the bodyline on the car, this is the standard thickness of the fiberglass parts that I make. After that, we just designed everything to the same dimensions as we expect to have the finished part and when thickening the 3D model to turn it into the mould, I thickened it from the outside, which then leaves the outer surface of the CAD model as the inner surface of the 3D printed mould.
Since this lip is fiberglass it is easy for people to modify and add another hole on the other side, but I deliberately left it with just the single hole so that it will work with the stock exhaust or whatever aftermarket exhausts people might already have fitted. If I tried to match the GTR with 4 exhaust tips, everyone would have had to buy a custom exhaust on top of an already pretty expensive conversion kit, so I wanted to make that optional for people with less budget.
@@TofuAutoWorks nice one dude, not sure we can get that in the U.K. , usually 100,300,450, the first layer goes down nice👍🏻 Thanks for the reply buddy 🙏🏻👍🏻

Sounds reasonable. It wouldn't be difficult to modify this one to fit dual exhaust if one wanted to. This design actually makes more sense now that I think about it.
This is the prototype, there is still a lot of work that needs to go into getting it not just to fit right on the car, but also refining a lot of the lines. The sharpness gets lost with the resolution I print at so making it smoother it comes out of the mould easier.
11:29 If you have an air hammer, this seems like one of the ultimate ways to remove stuck exhaust flange nuts. I was very skeptical at the beginning, but the example on the video has to be one of the best rusty bit removals I've seen to date. ua-cam.com/video/JdwNUyblxEw/v-deo.html
No air chisel but in the past I've done this same thing with cold chisels. I just simply couldn't be bothered dealing with it when all I needed to do was get 2 bolts left holding the tow bar on. Next owner can have fun with them and all the other surprises I've hidden in this car ahaha
Amazing work and atention to details as always mate. 👏👏 Left you a message on instagram but I'll tell you here too, Hot Wheels will release your Cyberpunk Miata in the second case of 2025 basic line.🎉🎉
Наврятли ты увидишь моё сообщение, но я очень жду что ты начнёшь делать обвес от Mitsubishi lanser X я бы у тебя купил полностью расширение и обвес , просто у меня продаёься но очень глобальные изменения нужно сделать чтобы его подогнать , просто я вижу что ты любишь это дело и хотелось бы увидеть Asscoled gt400 обвес у тебя в руках , я бы его у тебя заказал классно все делаешь у тебя золотые руки , если нужна ссылка на данный обвес который сделан тяп ляп и ты из него сделаешь шедевр могу скинуть 😉, хотя как говорится чуда не бывает и мне редко везёт , но попытка того стоит может увидишь этот комментарий !

この車のリアエンドを見せるたびに聞かれる質問に答えたい。いいえ、残念ながらGTRのテールライトは付けません。
丸いテールライトのモックアップを何度か作ったんだけど、どうやっても他の車と合わなかったんだ。理論的には良さそうだけど、実際にやってみると何かが違うんだ、少なくとも僕にとってはね。
でもひとつだけ、この車にルーフスポイラーをつけるべきかどうか、判断に迷っているんだ。
もし追加すれば、この車を仕上げるのに1カ月以上余分にかかるかもしれないが、そうでなければ今年中には完成させたい。最も重要なのは、次のビルドに取りかかるのがとても楽しみだということだ。コメントで教えてください！
Are roof spoilers available for this car? If yes, and they fit your kit, I would skip it.
Even though this is pinned, you'll still have plenty of comments asking about the GTR rear lights.🤣
imo the volvo-esque tail lights add to the mystique and make it look more modern than it is
Without a roof spoiler something is missing
Finally saw a sneak peek of your hot wheels car! Its amazing man! I think you should do a roof spoiler, and make some tail light covers to get the circular look.
Just a minute into the video and sanding has started. I am impressed. 😂
Let’s be real, it’s the reason we all watch his videos
My Australian heart loves that I can hear the baa of sheepnin the background. So New Zealand! 🐑 🐏 🐑
I used to do lots of fiberglass repairs in the military as an aircraft mechanic. I thought I was pretty good, but watching these videos just makes me realize how much a novice I really am. Also, glad you showed us the sheep. I was going to ask. 😂
Always reminds me of Pootie Tang
DONT NEED NO WORDS, DONT EVEN NEED NO MUSIC
That might be one of the best things I've seen in a while 😂
Insanely dedicated craftsmanship, this is a pure joy to follow and enjoy the ASMR.
Its crazy how fast you moved up with the 3D printing. Whole bumper done like that! Crazy world we live in now.
First time you have told us what the car will be used for😲Kind of glad its your "tow vehicle"🤔all the attention will be on the trailer and not on the "In famous" rear end😂spats, splitters and a spoiler👌
It'll be interesting to learn why the gaps are easier to sort at the next stage. A fascinating and inspiring watch as always.
Always amazed at the quality of your parts, those look SO insanely clean, literally better than OEM
🙏 Thanks bro! 🤙
Sunday morning Tofu time
"To ensure proper..."
"BAAAAAAAAAA!"
"...fitment, we'll mount the.."
"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"....on the car".
Those sheep! Too funny.
You know what country he is in!
That body kits is perfection at its best
Roof Spoiler yes. Like the 850 T5R. And lights like this also yes. Like the Evo Wagon. All hail the Wagoneers!
This series has sure caused my creative juices start flowing!
Looks awesome! Glad the seams from the print smoothed and didn't warp for the fiberglass part, also learnt about fiberglass :)

speeding up the sanding on the 3d printed mold was great keep doin that
I’ve seen the red for your molds so many times now i actually want the car to be red
Timing the HP Academy add to stripping those exhaust bolts made me laugh harder than it should have 😂
That was a nice way to find and mark the bolt holes. I can use that when soon mounting the sideskirts you inspired me to build 😃👍🏻
お疲れ様です！
遂にジージア最終パーツのリアリップですね！

that looks very good on the body kit, a completely different car.

Man you're really good with this fiberglass work. I've tried it many times but it dont come out as good as yours.
Keep it up!

Красота. Скоро кузов обретет полный комплект расширения 👍🤘
12,000 views and 1,000 likes , come on People if you watched it why not like it ?
Thought of making that rear diffuser in to a dual exhaust? Seems like it would be more proper since it a mean as hell build.
Бро это очень круто, я год уже слежу за твоим проектом, и это серия мне больше нравится, тачка преобразилось, огонь 🔥

He (BifB) said in a comment on his most recent Murcielago video that he has been talking with Tofu Auto Works.
@@j.d.8593 awesome, I didn't see it
What type of plastic do you use for your molds? PLA? I'd love to see what kind of infill and settings you're using!
Did they really create a Hot Wheels after your Miata? That's something! I was like "wooow" when I saw it today...
its sick seeing you use Plasticity to model the parts for the car, its so useful
nice process
Well done; are you going to stay with the silver color, or different?
ALL IN ONE :DDD
awesome job man! Whats the type of material you use for building the mold walls @26:40 ?
Cheers mate. Core-flute or signboard.
@@TofuAutoWorks oh right on. Thanks. Your latest use of 3d printed moulds has really inspired me man.
In my opinion, it would be more suitable if a spoiler was added like the Honda spoon spoiler
🎉 bravo, bon travail Tofu.
La traverse provisoire en bois, tu la fera en résine par la suite?
The wooden bracket for the front bumper will be remade most likely out of steel.
Ok
I love your work but I have a question. Are you sure how the rear flare and diffuser fit together? I think the whole job is very elegant but I think that the union is not very in the style of the whole kit. 😊
Really superb fabrication work, thanks for making these videos :) Are those cutoff discs anything special, or just common 1mm ones for steel?
Just standard cutoff discs. Cheers
@@TofuAutoWorks Thank you
where there dots on the 3d prints for drilling out the dowel pins, or how else did you keep them alligned?
When you cut it into pieces using whichever 3D print slicing program you use (I use PrusaSlicer) most of them have the option to include the holes for dowels or pins directly on the cut join as you make it which aligns them perfectly in each piece. For CAD work all you have to make is the part itself, you don't need to worry about splitting it up into pieces.
@@TofuAutoWorks learned something, thank you!
You should change the taillights after you're done with body
I just came here to say that 😂
Won't be changing the tail lights for this project, I've just made a pinned comment with a bit more info.
Howdy mate. What needle size is on your gelcoat spray gun?
3.0mm
Gelcoat sprays real thick so if you are spraying it and need to strain it, I often have to poke extra holes in my 180 micron strainers with a bamboo skewer just to get the gelcoat to filter through.
35 part. It is will be end?! I hope))
Coming together nicely. A roof spoiler on the "to-do" list also?
I reckon I'll leave it to the audience to decide, I could go either way but it depends on if we're all sick of this build yet or just me haha.
Definitely not trying to farm comments and engagement or do the classic UA-camr tricks like that.
В очередной раз скажу, что стоить попробовать сделать задние фонари на основе оригинальных от GTR. Удачи! Очень крутой проект!!!
Good job Guy ;oP

Tu as déjà un autre projet de prévu après celui là ?
I've got the next 5 projects planned, I'm good until at least 2030 at this rate.
Tofu lauuu
I like the design of the lip, but it does not fit the design of the widebody. The body hat clear sharp lines and on the lip everything is round :/
This is the prototype, there is still a lot of work that needs to go into getting it not just to fit right on the car, but also refining a lot of the lines. The sharpness gets lost with the resolution I print at so making it smoother it comes out of the mould easier.
