1987 Chevrolet El uh...Monte Camino? El Carlo?

Regardless of the ridiculous name, I finally got around to wrapping up a half-winded attempt at making a two toned El Camino but quickly realized I couldn't do the red stripe by hand without making it look odd and the decals from MPC didn't have a white backing to the letters so the silver ones vanished off into the black like the night sooooo... Dug into the Monte Carlo SS decal sheet for the gold lines(as I'd used the red ones before sadly) and made a weird combination of it all.

The Monte Camino El Carlo Caminote something or another! For the most part entirely stock, just extra decals' all. Oh and a license plate holder from the '87 MC. To be fair though, the moment Choo Choo Customs decided to give the El Camino the MC SS nosecone, it was a Monte Camino to me. Also, for those interested, the colors are: Duplicolor Mercedes Benz Obsidianblack/Obisidianschwarz and MB Iridium Silver.

I don't care what anyone says, I dig the El Camino. Especially the SS version, aka  Monte Camino!

:)

I have the AMT El Cmino SS kit in the stash, as well as the old school Monogram Monte Carlo SS. Should be a good looking pair when I finally get around to them!

I like the colours you chose on yours.
