stevegt738 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Cool, another one. I built one as a factory phantom using `66 Olds convertable & `66 Elcamino. Judging by the wheels yours wont be stock . I`ll be keeping an eye on this to see how it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like this idea a lot. This is a very well proportioned car, I mean truck, excuse me. Now just give it a sharp paint job...something bright and flashy. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plastikfreek Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I definitely love this build........................ ...........After seeing how great it's turning out, it makes you wonder why they never did anything similiar with a 1:1 back in the day....................

Car Crazy 81 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Heres a recent pic of the Oldscamino its not much except adding a set of Pegasas T's 19/23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhadman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 This has my interest...i have 2 in the works right now...a 68 and 69....I like the last pic,,,great stance...aggressive look...There was another 66 olds-camino that I found while researching my own conversion back in early 09...I guess we are not alone..GM ought to have built these..Here is an older pic of mine..

Car Crazy 81 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Mark- Thats an awesome build you got there what parts did you use to do that conversion. I was gonna have mines casted but i'd changed my mind on getting it done. You ougha get yours casted modelers would go for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhadman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hey Rick,Mine is a combination of the AMT 69 Olds 442 and the AMT 68 El Camino.I Grafted the rear of the El Camino frame onto the Olds chassis as well...I was thinking of contacting some of the resin body casters to see if there would have been interest,but never got to it..I am currently bringing another body along,that will end up as the 69 ...The older body in the pic will be the 68.. Here you can see the chassis mods...I used the El Camino 12 posi...It has great detail and was made to fit the rails anyway.. Hope to see more progress soon on yours....mine too if my muse ever returns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samm1970 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Nice looking build so far.I've seen several GTO based Caminos but never a 442 based conversation.Very cool of you thinking outside of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
