Default modeling

I'm learning an open source (free) 3D CAD rendering program called Blender, and have gained an interest in modeling Hondas in the computer. Does anybody here have any good sources for blueprints for bodies and/or parts? My goal is to play with mods to a car before I get ready to start a real project. The potential is big, even going sci-fi with it, just for fun (a flying Civic?).

I was a kit basher when I was a kid (modding Monogram and other plastic kits of muscle cars, making roll cages out of the excess, for example),and this is for me a neat extention of it (without the hot knife and the glue), but it is a lot of work to learn.

Here's an early attempt at my old Accord.
