From what i can see it looks good.

i like the name nighthawk goes with the whole night theme lol \/\/\/\/\/ :evillol:

Looks good so far.

man workin with putty is hard...lots of sanding and im still not happy...i feel like i wanna cry. lol. im worried im gonna have to get another body. :(

LOL Working with putty isn't always nice. It costs lots of time and lots of patience. On the other hand, nobody will have the same car as you do :biggrin: The puttywork on my S2000 is done. Just need to have some paint now. Lowering the car isn't that hard IMO. The suspension isn't very complicated.

Oops, forgot to tell you: Never buy another body. Not necessary at all. My hood broke down in 6 pieces, did some work on it and it looks perfect again sooo... If puttywork goes slow and you need to sand away a thick layer, just use a Dremel or something. Isn't very precise but works very fast.

my problem is it wont it wont sand right...it doesnt look even and its jus crappy lookin. :(

Describe your problem/difficulties in detail and we may be able to help.

alrighty...i laid the putty down and let it dry for a day. after sanding, the edges were still rough and werent blending into the sides of the car. so its like jagged. its just the edges that are bugging me. should i go to hobby lobby and get some sanding sticks?

Get those sanding sticks. But they do get expensive after awhile. So what I do is walk into a nail salon and grab some of the nail files there. Fer-eee!

Mike are you a ladies man.

Good luck with the sanding.

Nighthawk black pearl is awesome.. It has blue flake's in it so it turns blue in light, I painted my civic I'm building nighthawk.

is it possible that i dont have enough putty on?

Yea that is an awesome color, my bro has it on his 1:1 car...If you dont mind me asking what brand paint makes Nighthawk Black Pearl?

sweet project, i cant wait to see that color

added more putty. i also figured out my problem. im not keeping my fingers wet enough so its not smoothing out so well. im not gonna get another body though. ill figure a way out of this mess.

Good Luck, hope you work things out..

Holy thread ressurection batman! Greg is back! Finally, ive got all the putty work done. you cant really tell what i did, but i beefed up the front bumper a lil and the side skirts. it turns out that my nighthawk blue pearl is missing ( im blamin it ojn my sis...lol ) so its navy blue instead. BUT, i did one other thing...i added some of the hottest wheels out there. and heres the pics! almost finished with this things. jus need to wait for hot sun to paint. i also added a spoiler from the revell civic...i think it looks kinda cool...lol.
