1967 Oldscamino Street Machine

[Car Crazy 81]

I'd been kicking this idea around im using a Lindberg 67 Cutlass 4-4-2 & A Revell 66 El Camino as a starting point its a work in progress right now im still figuring out the plans for it. I'll keep ya'll posted for further progress.

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.

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!

Here's a few pics of one I found on the web a few years ago...

pretty wild idea. are you going to bring the front down a bit?

I got the body in primer to find any imperfections that shown up in the body.Its coming along nicely.

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....................

Heres a recent pic of the Oldscamino its not much except adding a set of Pegasas T's 19/23.

I liked it better with 19's all around....!

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..

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.

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...

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.
