W-409 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thank you very much Niko ! I can see needing three guys if they were installing the bumpers on a freshly painted car , they were pretty heavy ! Looking forward to your '73 Chevelle ( I'm still on the waiting list ) , PLEASE build it next ! Yep I'm going to start it immediately when I get my Frontrunners ready and my friend casts them in resin. It shouldn't take too long time before the tires are done and I can start building the Stock Eliminator Chevelle... The paint and decals look fantastic! I like the color a lot and those black stripes fit perfectly with silver. Nice and smooth looking paint job, too. I can't wait to see more.

Elliot949 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 the 4 square headlight came in 76... 73-75 were a single round 7" beam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 the 4 square headlight came in 76... 73-75 were a single round 7" beam... You're correct Dan - the 76 & 77 El Camino Classics & Super Sports had the stacked quad headlamps. If you look back at Bob's original post, his build is replicating a 1:1 74 that he owned, on which he installed a newer front clip. FWIW, the "base" 76 & 77 El Caminos still used the dual round headlights similar to all the 73 - 75s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Robert for pointing this out , I'm a bit surprised the dual headlights haven't been mentioned more . To avoid any comments when I post the finished build , I'll be calling it a '76 El Camino !
