~*~*~Project Custom Civic~*~*~

Ok well today i decided i wanted to do some major bodywork to a model. I did some minor bodywork to my F-150 but i wanna go all out. So i decided to pick up a revell civic. Im going to try to doa full Black Widow kit, but i dunno if i can do the front and skirts. The rear is close to being complete. Just needs to be puttied, shave the side "vents" and then add lil flares to the side of the rear.

Up-Coming Plans
Lambo doors
Full Widow Kit
Opening trunk(maybe)
Fender Flares
Custom Hood (Widow 1,2, or maybe invader)
shaved gas tank
shaved car markings
shaved liscence plate area
shaved door handles
shaved moldings(maybe)
shaved sunroof(maybe)
Huge system in the rear seat area and trunk
SAS Wing
Euros or C/F Euros
Dual exhaust made from aluminum and brass
I might be adding things or changing things as i go so ill c how things go :)

Well here are some pics for you guys

Look's very promissing. Can't wait to see more.

hehe me either

Looks Good so far, Keep us updated.

haha sk8ter_in_ny your names confuse me..haha

looks pretty cool. I think its time for andrew (me) to get a civic.. i see all these civics and want to build one. If your going to shave the gas door make it come out the left tail light..back then i thought was cool. The dual Exhuast sounds cool

looking forward to seeing updates.

can't wait to see this riced out civic :)

Nothing wrong with rice...rice does the body good...oh wait. that's milk.


Seriously..I can't wait to see more on this car. I too am starting an extreme project. And am interested to see you're body kit in the making. Good luck with the car.

thnx everyone this will help me be motivated and what not. i puttied teh rear up a lil and im gonna and a lil later on tonight. im using bondo glazing putty, but when i run out imma get some squadren putty :) so ill get some updates as i start sanding

Some more pics for you guys. Finished sanding putty down. Covered in crazy glue to make it stronger, then i have to sand again and prime

hey sup ma i still do mods a lil kinda slow on them tho. workn on models lately. Im finishing up sanding the rear then ill primer and get pics. woke up late today soi didnt do it this morning hehe

im using bondo glazing putty, but when i run out imma get some squadren putty :)

Goes from one crap putty to the next crappy putty. In about a year or two those spots puttied will have cracked. You need putty that is two part, such as Tamiya epoxy putty.

^^ I agree, Nice job. Ima be doing that same Body kit on my Poser Civic , can't wait to see how yours comes out. Its looking great so far.

Keep it up Ricky!

PS: Get some Epoxy Putty, you will like it. :)

You will hate it first, just like Dommy and me. Once you get used to it and see how good it is you will love it.

Looks like an awesome civic so far.

Superglue mixed with baby powder.. Best filler/putty you can get.. dry's hard as a rock in 3 minute's or less. It's real hard to sand but it turn's out great.

yea ricky, get some real putty,tamyia quick type putty is the way to go. Is it hard to find in your area? i cant see how you can use that bondo stuff...

well i see many ppl like tamiya putty, but i madea wbk for a mod and ive dropped it a couple times by accident and it hasnt cracked or anything

some more pics for ya

just finished sunroof and almost done with the hood. Also I decided to take my old civic (gold one on my site) and repaint the gold because it looked dirty, and i found this awsome shinypaint in my garage so i painted it :)

Also what do you guys think of everythign so far? should i flare the sides of the rear kit.

looks nice, but I have the BW kit in real life and the back is flared up a little on the sides of the bumper.

yea i gotta flare the sides still, i think i mentioned that not sure though thnx for your input. Also could you post some pics of your car here for some better reference, i dont like the pics on www.grounddesigns2000.com
