Boy , she sure is purty ! Excellent job and I really love the colors ! Also the BMF and your engine detailing are first class .

I didn't know that . Thanks , I'll keep an eye out for one .

Dang that's pretty ! ! Really really nice build .

Great save , it was the right thing to do . And you're right , it looks GREAT bone stock !

It looks good in black and I love those 409's ! Try some black wash to really make those wheels pop ! Just thin some black paint until it is real watery and let it flow into the spokes with a small brush , any excess can be easily wiped off before it dries . It's easy and I think you'll like the results ! And welcome to the forum !

Great looking Chevy Cruz ! Color and stance are perfect . Do you remember where the Cragar S/S's came from ? I'm using one set from my parts box on a build now and would really like to find another set . Thanks .

But it has a mirror ! ! Really nice looking El Camino . Great looking engine detailing and I like the anodized look on the suspension and other pieces .

1978 thru '81 had single headlamps and the MPC kits are readily available . 1982 - Up had the dual headlamps and the only kit available is the SS version .

I think Shawn was the only source for this , it was really nice too . I've been looking too and have come up empty . I'm hoping one will show up on ebay one of these days !

Thanks Derick and thank you Bill !

Looks great ! I always liked that car , and the later Torinos that Bud Moore built .

Beautiful ! Great paint and trim work . It looks like the front bumper / grille and the windshield fit pretty good on this body , it's on my wish list . Thanks for sharing !

Great work Chris ! Your builds always are cleanly done and well detailed . I like the cover on the front of the scoop , nice touch !

I've made a little progress the last couple of days . I 've got the interior pieces fitted and fabricated a hood hinge . I also painted the tires , they are really nice ! Thank you Joseph at Fireball Modelworks . I need to clean up the center caps on the wheels , got a little bit too much paint on them !

No problem Gary , I'm just getting back here too ! To answer your question about the hood , I'll use what parts I have and let you decide . The Revell Impala body is about 1/16" wider than the AMT bodies , but the hood is about 1/16" narrower ! It actually fits the AMT body pretty good , a little sanding along the cowl and add a strip to both sides and it would fit perfect ! It should work for you just fine . I'm sending you a PM . Good luck on you project !

I was 16 ( turned 17 in October that year ) , had just gotten my license , and got 2 tickets the first month ! I bought it with my own money but never asked before I did so I almost lost the car then . I sold my Torino , paid the tickets , and bought a Vega !

Great job Ray ! It sure looks like the box art , not one of my favorites , but you did a great job .

Incredible build ! There's so much detail it's gonna take a while to soak it all in ! Congratulations on a job well done !

Just out of curiosity what did you order from Modelhaus ? I didn't know they had any parts for this . I guess I should explain that this isn't a resin kit , I mated the top from the AMT '59 El Camino to a Revell '60 Impala . It actually worked pretty good . I spent a lot of time filling and sanding to make the tailgate and taillight panel correct . Here's a few photos .

Great looking build of a very under appreciated car ! Very nice detailing , right down to the glasses on the console !

Good looking Super Bee ! I like the purple and white . Great looking paint and detailing .

Nice looking GTO !

I bought a 1982 El Camino promo on ebay for about $21 including shipping . A bit high but it was the only thing I could find .

They're not snap kits but they are pretty cool ! Especially the Haynes artwork and instructions . Maybe a bit pricey but that MGB would look good in my collection .

I'd buy the original .
