Chevrolet El Camino 1966

[krishna.iskandana]

Hi again,

I saw a cool picture of a '67 el camino on the internet some times ago, and I thought it would be cool to build a kit like the picture I saw. However, the 67 el camino kit was really hard to find ( if they made any ), so I turned to the next best thing,I bought a revell's 66 el camino from a local hobbystore. The paint is the combination of black and metallic red from tamiya. I lowerd the ride heights, changed the wheel with a set of wheels from hoppin' hydros (20" monster tora rims if I'm not mistaken) and wired the engine.

Well, here it is ....

The Inspiration

The Model

Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.

That looks awesome! If I recall correctly, that's a Chip Foose designed El Camino.

That Camino is super clean! How do you do your paint? Air brush or can?

[DanielG]

Nice build. Please do another with white-walls!

It is possible to build a '67 El Camino , but you need to cut & glue a '67 Chevelle nose & taillights to the '66 El Camino. Nice build by the way.

Hi, thanks for all the comments. Actually, I'm an old school modeler who doesn't even know how to use air brush ( at least not yet ), so all the completed builts which I have posted in this forum were spray painted from tamiya color cans.

cheers

Very Nice Build. That thing turned out great. I love it and I really like the rims you used on this.

YJIslander.... you are correct that this El Camino is a Chip Foose Design. This El Camino is featured in some of the Mothers Polish commercials.
