curt raitz Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Here's what happens when you stick the rear end of a 1968 El Camino to a 1967 Camaro. I read that the "Common Kit" at GSLXXVI was the Revell '67 Camaro SS kit #4936. I decided to build the El Caminaro for the contest. Don't expect it to win anything, but it will help fill the class. I always liked the paint theme for the 1969 Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car, white with orange stripes. So I went that way with a little twist. The white is Tamiya TS-45 Pearl White and orange stripes are homemade decals. Wheels and tires are from the "Wheels/Tires" Parts Box. Here's the mock-up and follow up photos of the El Caminaro. Please excuse the "specks" on the photos, luckily they are on the backdrop and not the camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I really like that. El Caminos are cool anyway, but with a Camaro mixed in I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_R Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Curt,I like the "gas struts" on the rear cover - are they actually holding the cover up by friction or is there something else?Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I like the idea and how this turned out. Love the paint scheme. My only advice would be to make the front and rear wheel wells match. Looks off without the wheel lips on the rear.Just my $.02. Great work otherwise.Later- Edited January 13, 2017 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
