cobraman Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Started with the Street Fighter 60's panel Chevy. Wanted to do something a little different so I decided to try and make an El Camino of sorts out of it. I sliced off the roof and used sheet plastic to make the rear body panel. I removed the molded in spare tire on the floor and finished it with black and white splatter type paint and used self stick black felt for floor. I stripped some of the chrome plating. I modified the tail light by removing a center section and replaced with sheet plastic painted black. The body is a bright orange and the hood stripes are metallic black. Then body was clear coated. I did not use the flip up front end because I just could not get it to fit right. Turned out ok I guess. Comments as always are welcome pro or con.

Intmd8r Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I agree completely-the El Camino version looks less like a cartoon, more bad a $$! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
