Thanks Bill ! Actually the passenger cars had a full size tank and the scalloped tank was used for the station wagons , the El Camino is based on the station wagon .

Here they are . . . actually there are SIX articles . https://public.fotki.com/TooOld/models/misc-/magazine-articles/dodge-fever-ii-wip-/

Some of you may have seen this one before . Built in 2013 it's a replica of an El Camino I owned many years ago , it had a 283 / 4 speed and was painted Roman Red with the Impala trim . In 2019 I redid it adding the poseable steering and the correct wheels and tires which I couldn't find in 2013 . It's built using a Revell '60 Impala with the roof and bed from the AMT '59 El Camino grafted on . I had to lengthen the bed about 1/4 " to line everything up , and modified the tailgate and rear bumper . I used the Revell chassis and modified it to show the bed floor and added a correct gas tank . The headers and exhaust were made from aluminum rod . The engine and tranny are from the revel '63 Impala . With the '60 Station wagon being reissued soon I'm planning another El Camino project and maybe a Sedan Delivery too . Thanks for lookin' ! And here's the original WIP thread from 2013 . . .

Beautiful El Camino Tim ! Love that Viper Blue with the vinyl top ! As an owner of seven 1:1 El Caminos (my avatar is one) over the years they are obviously my favorite . Almost every time I've posted a model of an El Camino or Ranchero in the Cars section it has been moved to the Trucks section , good old Harry was the only one that agreed they are more car than truck . . . good luck !

Thanks EMRE ! I have the '73 Laguna kit also , may be next on my bench .

Thanks much Dave !
