What a great idea , I love it ! A bus like this would be perfect of they ever remake the show !

Absolutely beautiful work Jason ! I can't remember when I've seen a nicer one built and your w.i.p. is a great reference for building this kit . You just proved that a lemon can be turned into lemonade !

You're right Mike . I had 3 different header panels to choose from . . . the Chevelle Malibu has the real short one and the early Laguna kits have one that is too long . I used one of the Laguna header panels and should have shortened it about 2mm but didn't give it a whole lot of thought at the time . That's on my list for the next one . And the slope of the B pillar was a real PITA , I redid it five times before I decided it was close enough ! I also had trouble getting my rear bumper to fit properly and the ends need to extend forward closer to the seam in the filler panel ( or the seam needs to be moved back ) . Thanks for the input , I appreciate it . Since I no longer have mine I did most of this from memory and pictures !

Thanks Andy and Chris !

Of Course ! Gotta have a 4 - speed !

Thanks very much !

Thanks Stan ! Hopefully there will be a resin one available soon .

Thanks Lee !

Thank you very much Ron !

Thanks Peter !

Thanks LD !

Finished this one up last night ! More photos posted "Under Glass" in the "Cars" section ( sorry guys ) .

Great work Al , those big Continentals make great looking convertibles !

Thanks for the thumbs up guys ! Thanks Fred ! Here's the WIP : http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89458 Thanks Scott ! Not looking for criticism , just any suggestions for the next one . . . guess I worded that wrong . For more pics of the '60 go here : http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75334

This is a model of an El Camino I once owned . It was actually a '74 that I put a '76 front clip on , so to avoid any confusion I'm calling it a '76 . I started about four months ago by modifying a Chevelle stock car body , including lengthening the wheelbase . The bed is from the AMT '68 El Camino with a few modifications done to it . I modified the front bumper by adding the parking lights , and made my own grille and rear bumper . I used the headlights and interior from a Revell '77 Monte Carlo . The chassis is from the '68 El Camino and the engine was built from my parts box . The wheels and tires are from Fireball Modelworks . The paint is Duplicolor Honda Starlight Silver Metallic , the stripes are my own decals , and it is cleared with TS - 13 . I'm planning to build another one of these so I'd like some honest critiques and opinions . There a few things I'm going to fix or do differently on the next one but I only have two eyes and would appreciate your feedback . Thanks for looking !

Nicely done Erik ! One question though . . . why are there four brake lines coming out of the master cylinder ?

Great looking Bee Fred , the front and rear detailing is excellent !

That looks really nice Kevin ! I didn't see it on you website , is it available now ? And what donor kit is used ?

Beautiful job on this one Andy ! The paint , trim , and wheels and tires look perfect !

Agreed , those are some really nice builds ! Lots of style and beautiful paint jobs , thanks for sharing !

That's a real pretty Olds ! Beautiful paint , trim work , and detailing !

It might sit a little high but it still looks great , and another great color choice ! I like the contrast between the frame and the floors , really looks good .

Beautiful , it looks great with the Impala hardtop on it ! Very nicely done .
