tbill Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Well, my Ma Mopar ‘what if’ build is done. Combined a 68 chevy elcamino with a 70 Plymouth superbird . The nose was a very close fit, only minor working of the fender ‘peaks’ was needed to get it to blend. I grafted the Plymouth interior door panels, dash, seats and console into the elcamino interior tub, also grafted the superbird tail lamp panel into the tailgate area, modified the elcamino bumper , obviously added the wing, and tossed a hemi into it mated to a turbo 400 trans , used the elcamino frame and rear diff, steel wheels/caps and redlines from the 68 charger kit. It’s painted in testors flaming orange. Thanks for looking. 5
larman Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Cool! Great job melding two very different vehicles into a successful design!
Sam I Am Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) That is one wild build Tom. Superb craftmanship! Oh, and one down with only nine to go. ? Edited October 9, 2019 by Sam I Am
cobraman Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 All your hard work paid off. Model looks great !
Peter Lombardo Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Nice, that is one crazy car/truck. I bet in real life you would have a difficult time keeping the "light" rear end going straight with all that power up front. Very cool design and pretty unique
espo Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Beautiful looking build. I enjoyed watching all that went into this. I like the Aero Wing, but without it this would look like a Plymouth prototype from that era. The tailgate area flows together perfectly.
spencer1984 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Impressive work, the blending is better than I would have thought possible.
tbill Posted October 11, 2019 Author Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks all, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, have half a mind to do a superbird and an elcamino in the same colors and display them all in a row, lol.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Very cool! Turned out excellent! Well done!
grodudulle77 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Original model , i like paint and details , what’s the scale of your build ? ??? Edited October 13, 2019 by grodudulle77
