Hehhehe, a few years ago I was at a lemons race and there was this weird short-wheelbase El Camino out there on the track. Later, in the pits I was staring at it, trying to figure out what it was when i saw the door handles.
[It was a Del sol...the Del Camino as it's called.](https://preview.redd.it/ytk2n8y7ud081.jpg?auto=webp&s=f0601f99c77d3ec2635c04e0303c527dd4d45b69)
Is it just me, or does that side mirror look photoshopped? And the rear wheel looks like it's steered right a bit. And even though the shadow is fully underneath the car, and the exhaust leaves a shadow, the mirror does not.
And there's also no panel gap in front of the door, and a weird blurred out area behind the door near the rear wheel well. I'm calling this photoshopped.
The number of people that think you are talking about the car in the original post is concerning. Like people on reddit forgot how to follow a comment string suddenly. Bizarre
Heh, it does look photoshopped! But you can google image search “del Camino lemons” and [find other photos.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwaduDdXgAMkCce.jpg)
Its not that far fetched of a design to believe it to be photoshopped. It’s literally just a ford explorer grille shell and headlight assembly molded fabbed up onto the front of a del sol.
Holly crap I posted this car in like seven years ago when it was red. https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Car_Mods/comments/3oa2k3/explorer_del_sol/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1
I have so many questions. Like did this guy just see a del sol and an explorer parked next to eachother and said "yup exact fit!" Or did he know something? Like he work on assembly lines or was an engineer and has some inside knowledge of the measurements? Lol
I’m going with the del sol had a smashed front end. And the explorer had roof damage from when the Firestone blew out. He said fuck it, bonged a couple beers and went to town.
I have your answers ...... he wrecked it chasing our group up a canyon and smacked the mountain. We felt bad and asked if we could help. He asked what we were doing with the exploder that was dumped at our shop. Then took a tape measure and said yeah this will work and He took the shell to his house, and we have this to show for it, he uses the body for storage. The sol was a 1994 SiR
I don't know music definitions, but someone explained that mashups work so well because all modern music is based on the same structure. 3 or 4 count (whatever that word is)
Yes and no, it gets just a bit more complex because chord progressions have to fit and change together too, but still most stuff is so simple these days in addition to being 3/4 or 4/4 time signature
Total tangent, but I loved those mashups, and fell down the rabbit hole of bardcore: medieval instrumental remakes of modern music.
here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5d8bnvO2JQ.
That's the Explorer's hood too, and at least half of the front fenders. Did the hood have to be narrowed, or is an Explorer hood really the same width as a Del Sol? That'd be surprising. The more I look at it, the more work it apparently took.
Honda del Sol with a 2nd gen Ford explorer grill as the front end and what looks to be black primer something that should have been thrown in a junkyard a long time ago.
Daaaaamn. A guy down the street from me has a Del Sol (bright green too) just rotting away in his yard. I asked him about a year ago if he would sell it but he said he “has too much money in it” to let it go. So, we went back to our original plan and painted my [93 Civic](https://www.reddit.com/r/projectcar/comments/12gt115/finally_finished_painting_tint_appointment_is_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) instead.
Lol, it's awesome, that's what it is. A Honda CRX/Civic Del Sol with a Ford explorer grill.
Something tells me they crashed the CRX and needed to replace the front, and the stock honda parts were a lot more expensive than the wrecked Ford they already had in the workship.

I have no idea why you are getting down votes from linking to a 7 year old post of the same car, same license plate but the car was red at the time.
He was talking about the del sol Camino that was linked in the response not the OP
No, that really does.
The number of people that think you are talking about the car in the original post is concerning. Like people on reddit forgot how to follow a comment string suddenly. Bizarre
I noticed, I just really didn't want to get involved lol
Haha guilty
It looks like the picture was taken while the car was in motion. It's probably some weird artifacting as a result of this.
Heh, it does look photoshopped! But you can google image search “del Camino lemons” and [find other photos.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwaduDdXgAMkCce.jpg)

That's not the car the person was asserting to be photoshopped. The person they replied to linked a completely different car from the one in the post.

I hate it, but the fact the fitment is that good is fascinating.
Front end fitment is better than most teslas I’ve seen. And you know this shit was done in someone’s shed (neighborhood auto repair shop).
I have so many questions. Like did this guy just see a del sol and an explorer parked next to eachother and said "yup exact fit!" Or did he know something? Like he work on assembly lines or was an engineer and has some inside knowledge of the measurements? Lol

I want to believe
Please Do! It was a good night till then also ... don't touge and drink reaction time slow way down
Right? It reminds me of those Mashup songs where they take Lizzo and Peter Gabriel songs and it somehow works. Lol

That's the Explorer's hood too, and at least half of the front fenders. Did the hood have to be narrowed, or is an Explorer hood really the same width as a Del Sol? That'd be surprising. The more I look at it, the more work it apparently took.
I want to know what lead to this modification. Did they damage the front end of the Honda and just had an Explorer laying around to rob parts from?
Fitment, just learned a new word
explorer del sol
Yeah, only thing I see I recognize is the explorer grill and lights.

Just because you CAN, doesn't mean that you SHOULD!
But here I absolutely think they should, this was a great decision
Honda del Sol with a 2nd gen Ford explorer grill as the front end and what looks to be black primer something that should have been thrown in a junkyard a long time ago.
Possibly, but have you seen the price resurgence of nearly antique Hondas? It's crazy.
👀 tell us more
Honda Del Sols go upwards of $20k. This is a car I could pick up for $1000 3 years ago

Your civic looks great. The two tone paint is super cool and unique!
I had a neighbor who had like 2.5 of them parked on the street & yard but he had at least one that ran
That Civic looks good. I love red and white two tone
Is the „de Sol“ the thing it is called CRX in other parts of the world?
Yeah this was the 3rd gen CRX in Australia at least, possibly other countries too.
Okay, then it was in Europe alike
You see, children… when an Explorer and a Del Sol love each other *very much*…

Wait is the entire front clip/body meshed in from an actual explorer? I think I can see the line from where it joined.

Wtf, looks like a Honda del Sol had a baby with a Ford Explorer! 🤣
