Hi, guys,

here's my first build of 2022. Amt´s ´68 El Camino (street machine kit) which i call the "El Cleano"

I removed all handles, badges and trim from the body to give it a smooth and clean look.  The stock taillights were also deleted in favour of a set of ´97 Corvette lenses inserted into the tail gate. Added  some fuzzy dices to the rear view  mirror, otherwise the interior and engine is box stock. Lowered he suspension and added a set of aftermarket 5-spoke wheels. Paint is a custom mixed blue metallic sprayed over VW Reflex Silver.

That turned out nice. Did you sand the vinyl top off?

Yes I did. Though the vinyl top was nicely detailed in this kit it just interfered with the clean look I was after, so off it went along all the other chrome trim.
