1967 El Caminaro

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!

Nice work! Looks like something our Australian friends could relate to...

As a lifetime El Camino owner I must say it's not too bad , actually it's pretty nice !  Definitely has that Holden look to it .

Great concept and great execution ! :)

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-
