Really nice ! Love the color and the wheels and tires . Are they from the kit ?

Dang , do you ever sleep ? These are great !

I love your Ranchero but I can't see the photos , only links . I was hoping you would fix it . Anyway , you did an excellent job and I love the colors you chose !

Great looking build ! You sure this is your first try at weathering ? I hope my first attempt looks half this nice .

Very nicely done ! One of the best looking cars of that era and you did a great job building it !

That's beautiful !! Love the color and your paint and detailing is perfect . Nice job !

Thank you Nick ! I appreciate it a lot . Thanks David ! I bought it in '75 and drove it for 12 years . In Jan. '88 I had a run in with an F250 loaded with firewood , needless to say it didn't end well for my El Camino . The F250 was totaled too , so it was a major crash ! Good thing is that somehow no one was hurt . I'm sure I would still have it today if that didn't happen !

Thanks guys !

That's a real beauty !! I'd say it's worth 50 bucks !

Thank you very much Ron !

Thank you John ! The patterns on the seats are decals they came in the Revell kit . Thanks Eric ! I made the headers out of aluminum rod . Here's a photo of them .

Thanks guys !

Thank you Jim ! First time I've ever polished a model , I'm still learning ! Thanks Ron ! SMP made a '60 but they are pretty expensive even for glue bombs . And there are a couple resin bodies available , but they aren't very detailed .

Very nice ! Your extra little details really make a big difference . Great job !

That's pretty awesome ! Kind of a little Lambo !

This is really nice Ron ! Great work converting it into a Ranchero !

Thanks Tom and Mike ! And thank you James and Dave ! I appreciate it !

This is a model of an El Camino I owned many years ago . It had a 283 / 4 speed and was painted Roman Red with the Impala trim . The model is 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 a new gas tank . The headers and exhaust were made from aluminum rod . The engine and tranny are from the revel '63 Impala . The tires are from Fireball Modelworks and I don't know where the Cragars came from , they were in my parts box . I tried to replicate everything just like it was , right down to the 1987 license plate !

Wow , this is a lot of stuff ! Thanks Stef !

Nicely done ! I really like it a lot !

Beautifully done ! I agree with the above comments . . . very classy !

Very , very nicely done ! Beautiful paint and great detailing every where . Congrats on a job well done !

Impressive is an understatement , that's some incredible fabricating in such a small size ! I would love to see some more of your work .
