cobraman Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This will be the next one on the bench. AMT 59 El Camino. 1997 release. Got it on ebay for a good price. Wasn't sure what to do with it but I think I will go for a mild custom. Thinking light blue with a dark blue interior. Painted steel wheels with baby moons. Stock engine. No bumpers. Lowered a tad. That's the plan anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Yep, ala a article in a 1993 I think issue of SAE. Edited July 23, 2014 by midnightprowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Well, since it is 113 outside I was able (forced) to stay in and work on this wip. Most parts are now painted and you wouldn't believe how fast the paint dried out in the garage. : ) Anyway, it still needs to be cleared. Chassis is molded with the X frame as a single piece so it was a pain to mask and spray. I only needed to touch up a little as it came out pretty good.
