My version of Chevys should be 1963 ElCamino!

Very cool. Nice to see that you are into h.o. slot cars too!

Love the old Aurora stuff! Always looking for cars! I did some work on my El Camino project, I rescribed the door lines and fitted a back window.

I used the Molotow chrome pen to re-do the front end chrome. I am going to paint the grille stainless with a black wash, I used the pen on the bumper and the upper 

grille surround and around the headlights. Not sure if I should drill out the lights and replace with clear lenses, would rather try and "clear" over them. Any ideas?

Also its amazing how a close up photo with a phone camera makes by body work look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH!

Saw this artist drawing concept of the el Camino you are building.

I took these pics at Goodguys several years ago. Next body style, but same concept.

Looks great so far. Here is a drawing I did for a Sketchpad article a while ago. I really didn't think they actually plans to make it. I based my drawing on the wagon version, since it would be easier to convert.

I fanally got some paint on this! The interior is just about finished. I need to get some clear on it and polishing to get the shine up! What do you guys think of the color combo?

I wanted something that looked like it was done in the late 60's. Does anyone know of a source for outside door handles without buying another kit?

If all else fails I guess I could try and cast some up.

I had not checked this post for awhile, thanks for posting the pictures of your drawings and the concept drawings! I really like the 66/67 Nova conversion, I think that could be done in model form using a Flintstone sedan delivery maybe?

You should check out Fireball Modelworks. He has a selection of door handles.

And they are top notch quality and great customer service!
