THE IDEA.
Project 001 begins as the plan to design and build a one-off widebody for the Z32.

Current Field Update
FULL-SIZE FITMENT BEGINS.
The printed body geometry is now being checked against the actual Z32. Panel alignment, proportions and mounting relationships are being evaluated at full scale—not on a screen.
ChangedDigital geometry moved to chassis
ProblemReal-world panel relationships
WorkingOverall proportion + direction

SCALE DEVELOPMENT.
Early design work and scale prototypes establish the body shape before committing to full-size production.
Log // 003
FULL-SIZE PRINTING.
The body transitions from digital geometry to full-size printed components, one section at a time.
Log // 004
THE BODY TAKES SHAPE.
Individual printed sections are assembled into recognizable full-size body panels.
Log // 005
FIRST FULL-SIZE FITMENT.
The widebody moves onto the actual Z32 for alignment, proportion checks and real-world correction.

FIT. CORRECT. REPEAT.
Development moves from simply printing parts to refining the geometry around the real vehicle.
Log // 007
COMPOSITE INTEGRATION.
Printed geometry begins transitioning into reinforced composite body construction.
The Process
THE PROGRESS IS
THE PRODUCT.
Project 001 isn't being hidden until it's finished. The mistakes, revisions and solutions are part of the build.
