NOW!!! Those are Some FINS!!!

Always Loved the '59 Impala Fins, but they are a little too small for the Vette Transport.

So I used a Big Block Sander with some 80 Grit Sandpaper and flattend out the top of the El Camino Body.

Next I cut out some New Sheet Plastic Fins...8 Inches Long & an 8th Inch Wider than the Stock Fins!

I Sanded the Edges, Nice & Smooth, and then glued them in place...

Really cool Ira. How about building in a tire rack into the body where the '59 doors are, on one side and perhaps a tool box on the other? Just for some functionality.

Thanks Rob!

Great Suggestions... :)

Man you have some really cool concepts. I wasn't sure I was going to like the vette front end on the hauler but I'll be ###### if you didn't make that flow with everything else and that vette hood scoop just looks tough. Can't wait to see it all finished, keep it up.

MORE TAILLIGHTS!!!

I needed to add a liitle width to the Tailgate because I added 1/8th inch width to the Pick-Up Bed. I used 1/16th wide strips to each side and carved them down to fit. I also added a 1/16th inch to the bottom of the Tailgate.

I am using 16th Scale Cobra Headlights for Transporter Taillights. I driiled a hole for each light and glued them in place...

I drilled 2 more holes in the Tailgate and glued 2 lights in place.
