DrKerry Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 When I was assembling this I cracked the body wide open on the drivers side so I shelved it. One day I decided to fix it so I started adding braces under the body and got it back in primer.. Similar to my truck Jimmy saw it and wanted it to cast so it went his way..... These are the first round pics. It has been re painted a darker color because I couldn't find the paint info on the lighter shade that it's in in these pics..... http://s2.photobucket.com/user/drkerry/library/Poncho-Mino?sort=2&page=1 You can see the crack just after the door in this pic... Resin copy that is being built now.... I also have another one being built as a mild kustom painted in blue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Nice. So that's where the Jimmy Flintstone one came from? I've been ogling it for some time.Does it have a 421? And how did you achieve the "soft tire " look? I'll end up with an invoice for all the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Now that is just straight-up cool. I've seen a lot of Camino-versions that just didn't "work" visually, but for some reason this one really does. Well done and model on!

geetee66 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Boy oh boy, you've got plenty of skills!I love these ponchos. I see you had trouble getting the top edge of the front bumper level.There's something about the way the parts fit there, which AMT missed.That really does look excellent though. Like it's factory.

espo Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I like that a lot. I'll have to get one of those bodies to use on the "62 Pontiacs I have stashed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbike-shaun Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hey Doc,K,how did you do those very Realistic tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the solid rubber Firestone so they were pretty easy to cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Agree with many others that this "just works"! Beautiful proportions make it look like a factory piece. I think the tail end is more attractive than any actual Elky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
