Default Building my own xb from scratch!

Not full size, though

Decided to do this project in my tech class.... i know my teacher well, and building a birdhouse didn't really float my boat..... been meaning to start this long ago when I started, but here we go.

rough Sketches for dimensions:

It's been sanded and primered now, as have side mirrors been put on... I am desiging a plastic exhaust, and i have since cut out a hole in the bottom for two 9 volt batteries to go to power the head and taillights.
I found a model of a Civic Si that i will be using the rims for, since they are scarily (is that a word?) close to mine...
Got a connect at the dealership and have a buttload of HTM paint, as well as a HOPEFUL idea to maybe put the motor in from the RC car. It was the fastet car ive ever had.

Thoughts???? would love to hear feedback as this is my only schoolwork as a second semester senior
