civic drag car

Hello everyone. Ive been hangin around here for a little while and decided to post my latest build. Ok, this will be a Honda Civic drag car. Im using the Revell Honda Civic hatchback 2 in 1 kit. The only thing Im really using from the kit is the body, motor/trans, and head and taillights. Most everything else will be scratchbuilt or resin. So far this is what I have pics of. Intake manifold, turbo manifold (I already trimmed down the wastegate pipe), fuel rail with injectors, and a throttlebody. The front end is not complete, but it is widened by stacking styrene on the fenders sanding it into shape and filling it with Tamiya standard putty. The sunroof was shaved with a similar process. I have no idea on the paint scheme yet but it will definitly be something cool to fit the build. Wheels and tires are from Perry's Resin. I might use some Nascar tires though for the front cause they are a bit taller and wider, Ill see then if they fit properly. I plan to highly detail the engine and interior with scratchbuilt and a couple of PE things. If all goes well there will be a CF undercar diffuser also. I have a couple more things made but Ill post pics when I get them. Let me know what you guys think so far. Sorry if the pics arent too great.
