Absolutely beautiful work. As everyone said, the stance is perfect. I think these would have sold as real vehicles... of course Olds wouldn’t have decked it out as nicely as you did!

Hi Greg! Thanks for the comments, and as I mentioned at the top of this thread, thanks for suggesting the name that “stuck”. 
 

Cheers, Steve

Thank you Phil. I’m not the best photographer, but I got really lucky with the weather, and I think the natural light was almost perfect.

That is truly fantastic Steve, you should be very proud of it. It looks so 'right', very plausible.

Hi Nigel, always good to hear from you. Thank you for the kind words. It does just kind of look right doesn’t it... that’s why this build idea was rattling around in my head for years... Hope all is well on the other side of the pond.

Cheers, Steve

Thank you Bill, nice to hear from you.

Absolutely

This is absolutely BAD ASS! The conversion looks right-on from every angle and the stance/proportions are perfect. Someone needs to duplicate it full scale!!!

Hi Dennis! Thanks for the kind words. Most of all, thank you very much for sharing your cast aluminum colour “recipe”. The carbs on this engine is the first time I used it... super pleased with the result. Loving the Boyd tribute thread.

Cheers, Steve

What's not to like about this one?

Great engine detail, good paint, excellent stance and wheels and that body, man, that's like it was always meant to be this way.

Impressive build.

Thank you for the kind words Matthijs. I glad you like it, it would have looked great in 1:1.

Very nicely done! This definitely looks like it should have been on the road.

[Zippi]

One good looking ride.  The color and stance looks killer.  Very nice job on the mods.  

[nyguy]

wow!!!! a superb build. surely one of a kind.

[Jantrix]

To be honest, most El Camino phantoms sort of leave me cold. BUT, this is truly a beautiful design and execution. Great work. I doubt GM would have made it look this good.
