Nice looking Impala , I really like the Silver Leaf paint !

Beautiful ! Really really nice job !

Love those Chevelle wagons , nicely done David !

Congrats on the finished decals (been there done that) , just goes to show that with a lot of time and patience it can be done with just the basic editing programs ! Overall a very sharp build ! I would've sent the bling wheels to ebay but that's just me , please don't take offense .

That's one gorgeous Mustang , great color choice and those wheels & tires are perfect for it ! I know what you mean about eyes failing you , I take photos just to look at them and see what I missed !

Now that's one very sharp looking Tudor Sedan ! Those wheels and tires really finish it off nicely .

Thank you very much Joe !

Excellent work so far Tim ! I agree with you that doing this type of work is very satisfying , after all that's what modeling is all about .

Sharp looking Roadster ! I like your conversion to the Duval windshield , nice work !

Great looking Charger , really like the silver and red colors !

Thank you Dan ! Thanks Jason ! Thank you Bo !

Thanks very much guys !

Thanks ! Thank you ! Thanks very much Dave !

Sharp looking Road Runner , I like your choice of color !

Too many apologies . . . that's a sharp looking AAR 'cuda ! It looks good in white !

Very nicely done , and I really like that color option ! The license plate is cool too .

Thanks Craig ! Thanks much Nick ! Thanks very much ! The Impala trim option was only on El Caminos built in California , much like one piece bumpers on '57 Chevys .

Thanks Sam ! Thanks Lee ! Thanks very much Lou !

The stock look is great on both of these Fords ! The Fairlane really catches my eye , so many T-Bolts around it's nice to see a very nicely done stock build . Beautiful color too !

Thanks ! Thanks very much Steve ! When I could still see and wasn't all thumbs I did more than just "out of box" builds .

Thanks Larry ! Thanks ! The 283 was really quick and it wasn't nose heavy like a big block would've been . If you go to my Fotki page you'll see how the body and trim was done . Here's the link : https://public.fotki.com/TooOld/models/cars--trucks/1960-el-camino/

Thanks Tom ! Thanks Don ! Yep my favorite color ! Thanks much Roger !

Thanks Ray !

Thanks !

Originally built in 2013 this is a replica of a '60 El Camino I once owned with a 283 4-speed , painted Roman red , and with Impala interior and body trim . The Impala trim was a factory installed option for El Camino's built at GM's Oakland California plant . I was never happy with the wheels & tires I used on it . Since then I've found the correct ones and two weeks ago it was time to change them out . As long as the model was being partially disassembled I decide to modify the front for poseable steering and lower the ride height . To accomplish all this the chassis would have to come out and the front and rear suspensions taken apart . Disassembly and re-assembly went smoothly with only minor mishaps . Both door handles fell off , so did the exterior mirror and the upper radiator hose . Of course the chassis didn't slip right back in but a little fiddling with the interior and everything was okay . I expected it to be much worse .
