Back to models. The only Chevette I own is a '79 promo. You mentioned the only changes required in different year MPC Chevette models would be the hood and grille. Did MPC ever offer a 1980 or later Chevette? If so, there was a change made to the rear of real Chevettes. The easily noticeable change was the new wrap around tail lights. But also notice the small aerodynamic spoiler lip on the rear. A major change if MPC offered an accurate Chevette model.

No Chevette kits after '79. The Chevette was one of those kits that wound up on the closeout pile every year...adult builders steered clear of them because nobody was doing much with them on the drag strip. Same goes for the Pacer. Pacers were raced (and did pretty well) in an IMSA series at the time, but not a lot of model builders did anything like that. It might be interesting to build one of those now.

Does anyone know if the AMT 77 wagon hood and grille fit on the MPC 78?

Yes they do. I'm doing the same thing you build my dad's 77 Pacer. Here's a pic of the wagon front end on the Pacer X.

So AMC is responsible for the doors on my Sunfire freezing shut every time  we  get melting snow or freezing rain. I keep a spatula handy for prying between the door frame and the weather stripping.
