To get the civic started, Tony decided that many stock items needed to accompany the trash. For beginners, Tony along with help from fellow club member, John Helzer, began by shaving many items. The first to go would be the four door handles.

To accompany the handles in the trash, the emblems, squirters, inner taillights along with the license plate box would also be removed.

With the new sheet metal in place, it was then left to Zach Fullmer to block sand the entire civic and prep it for paint. Now ready for paint, Tony turned to "Airbrush" Chris of Boise Idaho, for his graphics expertise. After laying down the base Parrot Green PPG paint, Airbrush then got busy applying the various mixtures of PPG colors.

To help keep with the minitruck theme; Tony had the windows deep tinted by Sunbusters of Nampa Idaho.

Now with the body shaved out and painted, it was time to hit the interior to help complete this mini-style compact. To help bring things together, Tony (under his business name "Pirate Customz") took his hands at tweeding every panel possible.
