progress civic hatch back hybrid

This is a revell civic kit. I started it 2 days ago and only started the body. Plans for it include- fully shaved body, roll cage, twin turbo v6 and suspension from a Skyline Axia kit. hope you like.

most of the pics dont work

they work 4 me

all i can say is wow!!!!!!!! an awd civic with an RB26DETT in it, now thats cool. btw thanks for the help in the pm, i just finished mateing a adjustable suspention from an aristo luxy to my civic coupe chassis, so now i can slam it and raise it all i want. btw are you gonna put on some wild graphics like your coupe????

Thats some crazy camber on the frontand the rest of the car looks great.

im not sure on the grafix yet, if i do i will do them with the airbrush, i do it on real cars so i cant see y not on these. i jsut used decals because i looked at the grafix from the python astro and a 64 lowrider kit and they looked awesome together so i had to....lol

the camber is actually almost rite on to where it should be in real life but who can tell?

cool,
cant wait to see it done.

Im really not feeling your rb26 in a honduh. but that is my opinon. the NSX TT v6 would've been more at home, but do what you want to, that is what makes you a great builder

damn good project, can't wait to see more.

any updates?

updates later tonite i hope

i wanna see em

well here are some more update pics. i broke the front off accidentaly. was crappy but took a turn for the worst. i decided to take a few features that i liked from a few front ends and designed my own. its only in the starting stages and i have tons of work ahead of me but here it is let me know what you guys think......

That's Fucking Cool. what are you gona do to the frame underchassis to fit the skyline drivetrain?

its pretty much done, the undercarriage that is. all i have to do is build the rear end and a drive shaft tunnel in the interior.

seems as though nobody likes this........no comments.......i even take bad ones cmon guys lemme know!!!

:eek2: thats bad ass, cant wait to see what you think of next for it

lol there plenty more that for sure!

when you look at the pic in the gallery theres a link under it just copy and paste that.

I definetly like the widebody effect. A suggestion.. I saw this on a previous hb, how about a monster sub box with 2 monster 18'' woofers pointing right out the back window?

in the pic from the rear you can see how i am putting a small flare around the wells.......this is not the pic i thought i uploaded but it is don on the front also............

doors are shaved now of side moldings and door handles!

sweet, keep the progress coming

well a little more progress......flares and existing body mods molded, some fine molding still required and front has to be refined but doors are only fixed in place at th time.......workin on real working lambo hinges! also have to figure out how i am going to thin out the edge of the inner wells so the wheels r not so far in......i am going for a more show style for this and...lol most of my others.

Looking killer.. That front end looks better and better.. Yea for sure thin those flares out.. Later Rick S

why is it no-one comments on my $hit? just keep lookin and pass on through

i think the car looks awesome... very good custom work...

custom... alot of people (mostly me) have f***** up computers, so I only recieve an update from threads when my pc feels like letting me know. I have to sift through AF to find updated threads, and I forget all the time about yours. Im not sure why, becuase you do awesome work.

thanks guys! sorry didnt know about the puter problems!

Dude this is so sweet.

well a while back i decided to shave the fuel door. well in order to drive this car, you need to put fuel in it! well i decided to hinge the drivers side brake light to put the filler cap behind it. here it is let me know what you think........i still have to mold the inside and put the cap there but this is what i have so far.................

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!

extreme creativity.........i love it.

Hey Custom, if you pull off that hidden fuel filler behind the taillight...you are the shiznit!
I have never seen that before, that is so trick.
Did you also make those taillight housings? They don't look stock to me :)
That front bumper makes it look like a Transformer, but dude I give you props on all the bodykit/fender/molding/hood vent mods. Very impressive work.

675, this is a transformer! Custom, what you planning to drop that mugen v8 in?

dont know rite now what the motor is going in, but something wild im sure! :iceslolan TRANSFORMER? lol i guess it does look a little too wild. was going for a real mean look! i think i acheaved that part. i am workin on a few different versions on body kits for the civic coupe and hb, but not replicas of real versions. these are just off the top of my head, kind of a collage of different kits. No Way as wild as the one on the hb. but will be making casts of then in the very near future! THANKS FOR ALL THE PROPS! and the filler cap conversion will be pulled of my man! keep any eye on this it will be gettin spayed VERY soon!

that opening tail light is nuts :bigthumb:

Custom, pay no attention to me...I am of the "anti-body kit" school of thought, hence the transformer joke. You certainly made the front end look mean, it looks like a freakin shark! Straighten those wheels out too :)
I am so going to follow this build-up!!

sorry but wheels r staying that way. camber is a bitch and when its layed out like it is the wheels tend to LEAN a little bit!

Custom...I have a supreme suggestion for your v8 engine. Revell Civic coupe. Strip the interior down to 1 seat, meaning remove the back seats, build a multipoint rollcage, add the skyline drivetrain to the v8 engine, and stuff it into the engine bay, make the motor look wild with some zoomy headers, just go full race on this, no body kit, no big rims, some small wheels with low pro stikies, a wing, but low pro like a drag style wing.

Looks like it took a while to do, but just too ricey IMO

exelent work, can't wait too see it done

That is one crazy wild civic hb!! I would like to see the wheel wells thined a bit to lessen the camber. I love all the innovative custom work you have done, hurry up and post some finished pics!!!

sorry, but this will not be done anytime soon. will hopefully be done for the judging of the contest.
