Joker,

Where did you get the '59 El Camino Body from? I'm doing a Resto on one of my father's models; a '59 Lonestar Camino. The 'A' pillar is broken and an entire mosaic looking piece missing from the roof from a crush I suppose. If like to repair, but the styrene is so acient that body work is difficult. Maybe I can ship the body to one of you masters to help me with???

Great thread Doc!

I gotta few I can contribute to this one, I'm embarrased to say just how long some of these have been in process.

64/67 Impalla, started this one probably over a decade ago... long enough that I would probably do it differently now, and I'm at that point to see If I should start over, or fix it. This one always gets put back away before I decide

S10 I started a while ago too, ended up not liking the chassis mods I did, and it stalled.

62 impalla got this far with it, then decided I didnt like it, so it hit the purple stuff and is back in primer again.

I have many more that still havent even made it to the primer stage.

This one is finished now, but I always liked how it looked in primer
