This is really cool , I like what you're able to do with a 3D printer ! Your wheels and decals look great too !

Quick and beautifully done ! I love that Tamiya Light Blue paint and your foil is looking really good , glad that mess is over with .

Thanks Patrick ! I'm using a '69 GT grille .

After I glued the bed in place and finished the rear window I started on the body work and discovered some major problems . The bed was square with the cab but the entire rear section of the body was skewed to the left side , and the quarter panels were flared out towards the rear . This made the width from wheel opening lip to wheel opening lip 3/32" to wide and the taillights 5/32" too far apart . The only way I could see to fix everything was to cut the quarter panels , taillights , and tailgate from the body and start all over ! Out came the razor saw and after cutting , a lot of measuring , and gluing it all back together , I was satisfied it was all square and started on the body work . It took about a week and a half for all of this but it had to be done . Still needs a little putty and sanding , some work around the taillight areas , and the rear bumper needs to be refit . Thanks for looking !

Beautifully done ! I really like the subtle colors and your wheel mods look great !

Thanks Anton and Patrick , I built this so many years ago I never expected to see it brought back up . I always planned on fixing the header panel and both front & rear bumpers but time went by and it never happened , still it looks good on the shelf with my other El Camino's .

Always liked these cars and yours is a very sharp looking build Eric , well done ! I bought a couple of these models when I was on Okinawa in '75 , wish I still had them .

Awesome build , all of your mods really make this one unique '32 ! Love the top , is it cloth or tape (or both) ?

Well done Eric , it looks great in Grabber Orange !

Beautiful Corvette Tommy ! I agree this kit is not junk and your build proves it !

Great job on the repaint , that color is beautiful ! Really like those Kelsey Hayes wheels !

Love the black & white , a real classic look ! Well done !

Even with the issues it turned out beautiful , well done JR that color is gorgeous !

That new firewall looks great , well done !

That's one beautiful build Tim , and it looks like it was just finished yesterday ! I got one of these stashed away and yours makes me want to dig it out and build it !

Huge Dan Gurney fan here , great build of a great car driven by a great race car driver !

Kewl Kustom ! Great rescue Tim !

All of the extra effort really paid off , that's one gorgeous Cadillac !

Beautiful Cobra and a very well done replica of the cover car ! I also have that magazine and it has some great photos .

Beautiful '65 Shelby , very well done !

Well done Anthony , beautiful Impala and a great color too ! You're probably right about the windshield and dash causing the problem , could also be the interior to frame a little off . It doesn't take much and they all can add up really fast .

No one ever has ! Very cool little bug . . . sometimes the simple builds are the most fun ! ! !

Robert and Scott , I understand your concerns and can only say to continue to have patience . If you've read the previous few posts you know the issues and that Jeff is filling orders as best he can , be polite in your emails and also try messaging him here on the forum . I received my two trans kits from him almost two years to the day from when I ordered them , yes it was hard waiting that long but in the end it was worth it !

Cool looking little wagon , those colors and chrome wheels look really sharp !

Well done David , great looking car !
