66 El Camino

[Modlbldr]

I can't seem to sleep and I have to be up at 3:30 AM to get ready for work. So what better thing to do at 10:00 PM than to be sitting at the bench!  Most are aware that I have quite a few projects in the works. This is my 66 El Camino that I have had in progress for over a year. I'm getting close though. I just need to do the tons of BMF and put the interior and glass in and glue in the grille and rear bumper. Nothing major.

Body is pretty much stock with the exception of Pegasus wheels in red aluminum sleeves for a Hot Wheels red line wheel look and a hood bulge from a 68 Vette.

Interior is a mix of stock and 2006 Camaro parts.

Engine is from a 68 El Camino kit (I believe). Still need to add the forced air induction to the air box.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Looking good, great wheels

Thanks Dan. I can't wait to finally get this one finished. I had a good portion of the BMF done but after kicking it around for so long it looked pretty dull. I spent about an hour the other night stripping it all off to start over fresh.

I like it, and that interior looks nice.

 I find being productive is better than lying in bed hoping for sleep.

I like the interior. What did you do to create the carpeting? The picture looks like the gray finish is a flat, or is that just photography?

Thanks for the comments guys.

James- Being productive is great. Being tired at work......not so much.

Espo- The interior is a coat of grey primer with a dusting of Testors Dark Sea Blue from a bout a foot or more away. The exterior is a flat grey. I wanted a flat color on the body. In order to do the red decal stripes I had to spray a coat of clear gloss first, apply the decals and them spray the body with Dullcote. It turned out just like I had envisioned it.
