Beautiful job on the model, but the overall design isn't really my cup of tea...

It's a little too stubby for my tastes...... Kinda looks like a mid 70's honda civic or an early 80's chevy chevette with a mustang front and rear clip...

That's because it is a Honda Civic with a Mustang front & rear clip :P

A late '90's Civic hatch, by Revell (read the replies above).

I see where you asked the question of the revell civic kit being used, but I didn't see any typed responses by builder indicating that............ but yes, it's a civic with stang clips added...

His reply is somewhat hidden as he typed it inside his 'quote' reply to me. I had to look twice to see it myself.

That Chevette may be the coolest one I've ever seen ... now THAT would make an interesting modeling project! :lol:

Yeah, the pro-gas chevette is pretty cool. There was a guy who used to race one at my local track with twin holly 850's and a 671 blower sticking out of the hood.

It was fast and was real squirrely going down the track. Scary to watch, and likely even scarier to drive....It think it ran like 8.80's-9.00's in the quarter.

I agree it looks like a RWD rally hatch from the late '70s with 2000s Mustang front sheetmetal, just not quite the same one you did.

I was going to (jokingly) comment that he stopped halfway through by not putting the V8 in sideways like a Renault 5 Turbo. To me it looks like another rally car the way he did it...the Lotus Sunbeam or Droop-snoot Vauxhall
