RickRollerLT1 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Again, sorry I haven't been posting any progress of my builds as I don't feel like takeing pics... becuz I gots too much to do right now. this ones' built from the Revell-o-gram lowriturd kit. I used the kits lowered suspension and added the custom wheels from the '91 Firebird kit. Added an lightly modded LT1, modified the exhaust a bit and added dual tips. Interior has buckets from an '86 Corvette and the steering wheel from some unknown scorce. Paint is Wal-Mart/Colorplace Gloss Black polished w/ toothpaste, futured, and has a custom gold stripe scheme done by using Pactra sticker tape (which came out pretty good, considering...). Also monochromed the front ans rear bumpers alonh with the grile. Only issue I had with this kit was there was a major gap between the tailgate and the rear bumper that looked really crappy. So I trimmed the tailgate, glued it on and that solves that problem (though it dosen't open, but whatever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale392 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I like it. Overall, it looks clean and it flows well color-wise. A friend has a 1985 elky that we are working on. He has put the 1993 Camaro Z28 wheels onto it and is in the process of building up a 383 powerplant for. His plans are to shoot it Charcoal/Maroon 2-tone.

RickRollerLT1 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks guys! My real insperation for this one was the '70s "Black Knight" issue my Dad had (don't know if you guys remember this one). It's sorta like that with some hurst styleing cues.

whale392 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 V-Spec, I believe you mean the 'Royal Knight' version of the El Camino. Good looking car with some sweet (for the time) graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whale392 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well, in all honesty, I don't know my Elkys real well. But I did remember the 'Royal Knight' and liked the graphics treatment it carried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
