Kruzn Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Hmmm.... Wonder what I can do with this old glue bomb...? Any suggestions? Edited February 27, 2019 by Kruzn
Rusty92 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 The camper is interesting. Where did that come from? A modified AMT open road camper? I think it would make a good Overland vehicle!

Oldcarfan27 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) This kit has been reissued so many times over the years that they are easy to come across. Especially stock or lowered. But, I don't recall seeing one done up as a 4x4. I really like the look! Maybe strip the thick paint job and have fun with an old weathered look for it. Keep the big camper on it - it works with the "overland bounder" theme. Add a camping diorama and you've got a scene! Looks like fun!! Edited March 7, 2019 by Oldcarfan27

Kruzn Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 I've never done weathering (or paint stripping) so maybe this is good time to learn! The body is sitting on a 4x4 truck chassis of unknown origin.
Kruzn Posted March 19, 2019 Author Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Paint stripped and ready for makeover. Super Clean works great! Edited March 19, 2019 by Kruzn
espo Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 If you happen to have the '65 Chevelle Wagon that AMT released at the same time as the El Camino, all of the goodies interchange. Both have been reissued many times and should be easy to find.

The El Camino only had buckets seats in the kit, so I robbed a 66 Chevelle wagon of it's front bench to use in the Elky.
