The engine will be an LS from a Revell Camaro. I plan to use the dual exhaust from a Revell ‘55 chevy…or scratch build something? So I removed the molded in exhaust and patched up the chassis. I have not yet decided on wheels/tires and stance. That’s all for now.?

The half cab roof section supplied with the kit is narrower than the original roof and needs a fair bit of work and putty to look like it belongs there.? And I’ve removed the vent windows while I’m at it. I am going to install a real walnut bed made from 2” wide edge banding. Once I get enough clear lacquer on it, I will add styrene strips and foil them.?

What can I say…I have to build it.? I got this kit for $3 due to an estate sale. I am separating the box from the interior so that the box can be attached and painted with the body. All comments welcome as always.?

Decisions like what colour to paint a model are one of the stumbling blocks that keep me from being more prolific.

Outstanding work! It looks great!?

Nice mockup DJ. If this kit is the same as the Crew Chief kit, it has some out of scale issues with the engine, differentials and a few other parts. I like the look of the larger tires.

Great work everyone!? Makes me wish I had one of these kits.?

Good eye, and nice work the way you got those body lines to line up and meld together!??

Thanks Trevor, you could be correct. The different spare tire location would make sense. Here it is beside a Revell ‘56 Nomad chassis. And an AMT ‘55 Nomad on the left.

What does this chassis belong to? It’s a flea market find that someone was trying to put an AMT ‘55 Nomad body on Thanks, Greg.?

Late to post means your answer is toast.?

5 O’clock somewhere is a good excuse to begin imbibing.

It would have to be a brand name (parts available) unit that I could get dirt cheap. You quite likely would be better off to buy a brand new Paasche H or Badger 350. They relatively cheap, easy to use, easy to clean and parts are available. There are other fancier airbrushes, but these are dirt simple workhorses that can use a paint cup or a jar. JMO.?

Looks great Allison.? Only thing I would advise is to sand the tire treads so they look used.?

Vernacular dialects are highly sought for telephone customer service positions.

Puke makes me want to barf.

Great looking rig!? The El Camino itself is really nice.?

The Martian Spider ran this engine I believe. https://kustomrama.com/wiki/Jay_Ohrberg's_Martian_Spider

Is must be one of the two or three? https://www.motortrend.com/features/1970-dodge-coronet-rt-hemi-convertible-restoration/

Awesome!?

Perfect!?

Is it ever hot outside!?

AMT for me!? Really, like others the subject is the most important thing. I‘ve only built a couple of Tamiya kits and although the fit and quality is excellent, I don’t care much for their instructions.

I like the color also. Stance looks good too!?

Looking real sharp!?
