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 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.

Re: " Nighthawk " Tamiya S2000. First work with putty.
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!

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.
