Well first I want to say hi. We don't have a lot of members from New England. I'm from Salem but moved here to avoid the traffic and weird neighbors. The neighbors up here are weirder than the ones I left behind but they do their thing and don't complain when I do mine.

My mom never built a hot rod and my dad liked classic Packards and LaSalles. I've seen a lot of kids trying to hot rod Honda civics so it's a tough niche to break new ground. Most of them are just "Fast and Furious" wannabes. But it sounds like your's is gonna be built right.

Are you putting us on with the 12K/8K nitrogen filled/pillowball mounts? Most of us just use Johnson rods for that. Custom brake lines are more familiar.

There's not much help available here for specific Honda questions. I hope your love of hot rods will eventually get you to break new ground with a more traditional car that we can relate to. Maybe when you pull the Acura/Honda combo you can find a T bucket to put it in. I don't think that's been done yet.
