Nice looking Ranchero Bob! The color suits it perfect! My older brother had a '69 Torino GT in the same scheme. I've always wanted to do a replica for him. But, the GT is very pricey. 

Thanks very much Roger !  Finding a GT grille is the hard part .

Is this for sale? I have the same car but it's the actual car color and all and I'm intrigued. Thanks and great work

Absolutely gorgeous build!!!

Very very nice build! I have always liked models that have been modified a lot and in the end they look stock and it takes an expert to understand the amount of work put into it. After seeing the incredibly nice body work I think I couldn't have hold my self putting a detailled Cobra Jet under the hood but I fully understand your decision to keep it a curbside. Can't wait to see your next project finalised!

I missed this one first time around. Beautiful work Bob! I love El Camino’s and Ranchero’s.

Thank you very much Kimmo !  At one time I also would have added a detailed engine to this one but now I just try to finish something . . . even with no engine .  My '79 Ranchero GT project has stalled out but it's not forgotten , planning on finishing it next year .

A very convincing, authentic and highly ambitious effort. I can’t tell it’s not a kit. First rate!

Thanks you very much Brian !
