Modlbldr Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Does anyone have photos of a build up they did, or a copy of the instructions for the optional set up that includes the square ribbed air box and forced air system? I have searched Drastic Plastic for instructions with no results. They have two 68 El Camino kits but it isn't on them. Either this set up is not from the 68 El Camino or they never included it on the instruction sheet. I received a resin copy from one of our members and I would like to see what it is supposed to look like when completed. I will try to post pics today of what I have so as to help identify what I'm talking about. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 There are TWO 68 Elco kits. The STOCK one and the Street custom one. The intake you want info on if from the street custom kit. Hth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Yes. The one with a grey car with a maroon stripe on the box art. Drastic Plastic doesn't have that issue. Later- Edited March 14, 2014 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Casey- Thanks for the link, but none of the pics are showing up for me. Just blue and white question marks. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 The pics I was sent are not of the intake set up I have and due to Photobucket being a piece of BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, I can't post photos of what I have. I guess I'll do the best I can. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I finally got it to copy what I wanted. Here is the kit that I believe has the intake I have. Maybe not. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&redir_esc=&client=ms-android-verizon&source=android-launcher-widget&v=133247963&qsubts=1394864829302&action=devloc&q=AMT+68+El+Camino+street+machine&v=133247963#biv=i%7C1%3Bd%7CeA6Ucu7QsRmytM%3A Later- Edited March 15, 2014 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi There Tom Is this what you're looking for: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The pics I was sent are not of the intake set up I have Here's a small pic of the box side, and it looks like a small supercharger with an offset, cone type air filter setup, as on Mark's build: Is the image you have of the resin intake setup uploaded to your PB account? If so, which album is it stored in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Oh my! I finally got it to work! Not sure what kit this came from but I was told it is a resin copy from the 68 El Camino. However, I have not been able to find it anywhere. A friend of mine had one built up years ago and he also told me that it was from that kit. Anybody recognize it and can post photos of it built up?

Force Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) I knew I had seen this setup somewhere, it's from the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454, so your friends were off by a couple of years. Images are from the Drastic Plastic Fotki site. Edited March 16, 2014 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 That's it! Thanks Force...and everyone else who helped out to try to figure this out. Now, does anyone have photos of it built? Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
