1959 el camino rebuild rescue

[mchook]

This is one that I got from a friend last year who needed his dryer fixed. It's an original amt kit that wasn't bad but not good. I did my usual worn out look. First 2 pics are before...

I think they're from a Revell 41 Chevy pickup kit.

Thanks to everyone for all the great comments.

Thanks everyone, I'm sure you guys are getting tired of my weathering but I can't help myself.

While the wheels look out of scale (see bolt pattern), and are not my bag style-wise, the rest looks awesome. Really well done weathering job. I like it!  I'll never get bored with your weathering. Keep it coming!

[Sandboarder]

Damm!! That’s an amazing build and it’s awesome that you also saved a previous build and the end rest is just ?

That bed is amazing! Too bad the headlights got so clouded.
