speedy5963 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 These were both built some years back from Modelhaus resins, my pops isn't very savy with forums, pics and postings so I thought I'd share for him. These are basic curbside builds, they have full chassis' under them from the AMT 59 El Camino and 58 Impala under them, painted and built. The colors are original GM colors (1960 and 1961), believe they were PPG paint and clear. Hope you enjoy the pics! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 They are both great looking builds. I like how cleanly all the chrome details are done along with the OEM colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajohn97 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Your Pops has impeccable taste! The colors, the lowered stances, the choice of wheels, everything just “clicks” on both of these! The paint, the foil work and overall build quality is first class on both as well. I thought the styling of these ‘59 - 60’s Chev’s with the bat wings were weird (kinda ugly) when they first appeared in my kid days but now they look beautiful to me.

speedy5963 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Thank you everyone for the kind responses! My pops has been building since he was a kid and got me into the hobby as well as the real cars. He enjoys surfing the forums and groups on FB but is not good with posting, commenting etc but I told him I would post some of his builds up, if I get some time I'll post a couple more up later today and try to get him involved on here!

Pops always talked about having a 1:1 El Camino like this, but considering it took us almost 15 years to get through the 57 and now jumping back on my 63 Rivi and a 59 Apache to rebuild, doing see it happening Haha!
