Yes, fiberglass and bondo. Take a look at the "blog" on their website. There are numerious pictures of cars being built that clearly show the bodywork.

For example.

Still, the end result is incredible.

Nakai-san is what we call a traditional Japanese tuner; according to a friend whom recently just visited NWB in person, Nakai-san doesn't like to deal with random folks that just walks in and wana get works done by him (if I didn't mention this earlier, then I'll have to address it here: NWB widebody isn't pre-made and Nakai-san will only sell it when he can work on it himself). There are certain procedure dealing with such an OG like this, when $-can't-buy-everything comes to play.

Not a problem, it wasn't really much info and I'm really sorry for that. I'm actually paying them a visit myself in January 09' during my anual TAS trip to Japan, along with a friend who have recently returned from there and knows Nakai-san personally. Will definately post some pictures to keep everyone posted here.
