mrknowetall Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This is a model of an El Camino I owned many years ago . It had a 283 / 4 speed and was painted Roman Red with the Impala trim . The model is a Revell '60 Impala with the roof and bed from the AMT '59 El Camino grafted on . I had to lengthen the bed about 1/4 " to line everything up , and modified the tailgate and rear bumper . I used the Revell chassis and modified it to show the bed floor and a new gas tank . The headers and exhaust were made from aluminum rod . The engine and tranny are from the revel '63 Impala . The tires are from Fireball Modelworks and I don't know where the Cragars came from , they were in my parts box . I tried to replicate everything just like it was , right down to the 1987 license plate ! Just excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Great timing on bringing this one back, Scott. I've got an old smp '60 here too and on a whim a few weeks ago picked up the revell hardtop. This is great inspiration... Superb build, Bob! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Thank you John ! The patterns on the seats are decals they came in the Revell kit . Thanks Eric ! I made the headers out of aluminum rod . Here's a photo of them . Edited September 10, 2014 by Greg Myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Worth ever bit of it. Nice to see again. I miss crawlin' around under mine fixin' one thing and another. Love it. How mant times you change out that center U-Joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm not sure what you are saying . . . SMP produced a promo style '60 El Camino and later AMT released the '59 El Camino which has been reissued several times . The SMP tooling is probably long gone and AMT isn't about to modify the tooling for the '59 since it is such a good seller . Likewise it's not very likely that Revell would modify or make all new tooling for a '60 as there isn't a big enough demand for it , the '57 Ranchero is a much more sensible choice . As for my build , it is built using parts from both the '59 El Camino and the Revell '60 Impala . Anyway , thanks for looking . . . I hope you liked it !
