64 Chevrolet El-Camino

Well im building the 82, so may as well build this one along side it.

This is another kit I got from ole mate Ray.

 He was lucky to find and get it from a private estate sale in Adelaide. Then I got lucky when he offered it for sale to me when he walked away from the hobby.

They certainly dont make kits like this anymore.

Would be fun and different to do a custom version as some of those parts have cool features. But il stick with a some what stock look.

Such a trip to experience a kit of this era. 

Got a rough idea of the direction im going with the build pretty much oob. I will use these parts and build the 6cyl as a side piece.

And once again il use my favourite wheels.

So far ive just cut some 2mm brass rod for axles, and set it in the low holes for a oob mock. But it still needs to be lowered more.

Drilled some new axles 4mm above the oob lowered position. Much happier with the ride height now.

Thats a cool kit.

I wish that AMT had kept this model in their line up years ago instead of the '65 El Camino. I just liked the '64's better is all and the little boat in the kit is much better than the camper shell in the '65 kit.
