Very nice build, and beautiful yellow gold finish.

Love it! Nice idea and build, it reminds me of something the Forestry Service might have used way back when...

Those are some of the nicest flame decals ever, and I don't understand why kit manufactures have had such a hard time producing good looking flame decals. One of the most timeless paint customizations ever, and for decades we were given some truly pitiful attempts in our kits! These really work for that El Camino like they were made for it, and accent your clean build perfectly. Great work!

Beautiful car and model. I love how far you took this kit; just outstanding.

Thanks, guys! I like Chevy's Rally wheels on just about anything; simple but attractive style. I ran them on my '81 Monte Carlo back in the late 80s, and my '63 Biscayne before that.

This:

Looking at your build makes me want one, the body is quickly growing on me! Looking at the box, I would never have even considered it. Well done build.

Not my normal cup of tea, but DANG that is SWEEEET! I wasn't even aware Revell offered this kit, now I may need to search one out. Super clean build, perfect colors!

I could totally see someone over here doing such a thing back then! Not a great time in our auto history, when next year's model was last year's model with gaudier decal package. Your build is nice and clean and fun!

Good looking build! I like a chassis that looks like a car that is driven; just looks more real to me, even if the top side is clean and shiny.

This is very cool to me; there's something fun about doing a box-art build! Now, grab a modern kit or two and show us how the "real" car would look in 1/25 scale, it would make a great companion piece, same colors, same wheels, same everything - just more real.

That really did build up nice, agree with others that the box art does not do justice to the kit, but you show how it can be a great display piece!

?Late evening off-track racing can get sketchy, and since the headlights were removed...

Thanks, man, much appreciated. I do love a little drop in the front end, and didn't those wheels work like a charm? They totally change the flavor of the truck. Those snappers are such fun for slump-busting, relatively quick builds.

You made the ol' gal look nice! Red rag-top with chrome mags is ALWAYS cool.

NICE! Really well thought out and executed; totally believable as a cross-country racer. Beautiful model.

Very cool stuff! Glitterbug in metallic green plastic was my first Dave Deal kit back in the early-mid '70s. Always loved Deal's style of cartooning and drawing in general. You've done these RIGHT!

Thank you!

Very nice model, even nicer gift! Well done.

Sharp Olds! LOVE that gold color.

Superb build of a beautiful car.

Nicely done! Must dominate a display!

Very realistic! The red really shows off the lines of the car, but both are sharp!

Thanks!

Just realized this may be posted (probably) in the wrong section; possibly should move to drag race? Mods, feel free! I got a bit carried away posting while I had time to do so, and just posted everything in the same place.
