The Supra Build Just Got A LOT More Stressful.

Dylan’s Supra has been through its fair share of challenges, but now, time is ticking, and the focus is on getting it prepped for paint, as our sponsor, Lordco, has provided us with a goal date for getting the car into the paint booth. With deadlines approaching and key events ahead, every detail has to be dialed in to bring the vision to life exactly as planned.

A project like this is never straightforward. From fine-tuning bodywork to perfecting panel alignment, each step demands precision. The prep stage is arguably the most important—any flaws now will only stand out more once the paint is applied. That means extra attention to ensure a flawless finish.

Of course, no build comes without setbacks, and this Supra is no different. Sourcing the right pieces, ensuring our handmade parts fit just right, and preparing all the small details add to the complexity. With a tight timeline, finding the balance between quality and efficiency is a challenge in itself.
