That is one of the nicest el camino style builds I've seen. Looks like it could have been a perfect fit in the GM lineup.

Thank you Ken, gotta love those Olds curves! 
 

Cheers, Steve

Hi guys, this will be the last photos for the WIP. She goes under glass later tonight or tomorrow. 
I had the idea of doing a “power tailgate”. The photo includes my blurry finger, if you look close you will see a power switch inside the box, just push a button and the gate lowers! If I was clever enough, that would actually work, of course here you just have to use your imagination.

Next photo is a teaser before the under glass photos.

 

I want to sincerely thank anyone who took the time to have a look at this build progress. For those of you that offered ideas, thoughts, photo shopped photos, and the kind words, a huge thanks, it truly is appreciated. I hope you enjoyed the thread, and if you got this far please keep an eye in the “under glass” section, I managed to get some fairly decent photos this afternoon. 
 

Cheers, Steve

Thank you very much John. I pushed myself a bit on this one and it turned out pretty good. It was good practice for a build I have planned in the fall.

Very nice!! I like the little touches like the "aluminum" piece on the top of the tail gate.

Hi Ron, thank you sir. I must admit, the amount of BMF on this build surprised me a bit. There’s a lot! 
Cheers, Steve

Ron, I noticed that too.  This kind of detailing has really appealed to me, and it is one of the reasons I am so impressed with Steve's faux-camino model.   

BTW, I've been going through my old Street Rodder Modeler's Corner columns over the last month.  I had forgotten that I had featured several of your projects there.  I think I told you this back in the day, but I've got to say it again.  Very impressive work!    TIM
