'59 El Camino. A foiling nightmare!

This one taxed my patience like few kits have done. So many warped and ill fitting parts. Foiling was like torture! lol

Just could not make the operating tail gate line up.

Hood seemed to fit well before paint. After paint? Oh well. Couldn't get all four wheels to touch the ground either.

I was going to add a push bar for a bumper but I gave up on it.

Very nice looking. The colors set off the body lines well. This was from an era that GM couldn't seem to get enough chrome on their vehicles. I don't think that tail gate ever fit anyway so don't worry about it.

Looks great Walter!

But I have to say, you must not build many 50s cars!

Foiling the '59 El Camino is a piece of cake compared to a '58 Buick or '59 Dodge! :)

Nice work!

That is true! I think that this might be my only fifties car. I do mostly race cars. We tear that useless trim off!:lol:
