59 El Camino mild custom

[Classicgas]

My first custom.

[stitchdup]

Cool custom, removing the roof gives it a pretty fresh look

Sweet ride!   It doesn't get much cooler than a '59 El Camino.

[cobraman]

Very sharp custom. 

[Classicgas]

Thanks guys.

Very nicely done!

I'm digging that six popper ! Is that from the 1951 Bel Air kit ? 

Nice Vice Grip Garage licence plates ! Haha !

[Classicgas]

Thanks. The 6 is based on the one from the 60 Chevy pickup.

I'm liking this 59.  Nice build.

First Custom! That's absolutely great. You've nailed it all! Thanks for the post.

[Classicgas]

Thanks. It was fun. Got another, a 53 Ford pickup in the works.

Looks great!  The color suits the build nicely.

Very cool. Love the paint. ?

[Classicgas]

Thanks!

Awesome build love the color and i really love the built up in-line 6 nice.

looks great!! - i have one in the stash but it seems like a ton of work.  any pitfalls to look out for?

[Classicgas]

Thanks. Rear axle is tricky. Well it was for me, I used real springs. Also, tail gate fit when closed is iffy. Could be a paint thickness issue. Otherwise pretty straightforward.

Great Camino. I love that shade of color. Smooth finish. I like the idea of a in line six and the tires and wheels look cool.

[Classicgas]

Thanks.

Nice work neat looking custom

Sharp build! Love the choice of 6-banger, and a beautiful shade of gold. What paint is that?

[Sam I Am]

Very unique,  and as others already said, love the six banger. 

You will have to ask Tim Boyd, but I remember an issue of S.A.E that showcased a few topless pickups. I might still have that issue laying around.

[Koellefornia Kid]

Looks great without the roof! Nice work!

[Andy Oldenburg]

A cool build! Paint job very fine and the color fits perfect. Nice ideas around the roof and engine. And the bench looks sharp!?

[Classicgas]

Thanks all. I really don't remember what the color is, other than it was Testors. The upholstery decal was a prototype by speedway Decals. Give em a holler if you like it. I have that issue of SAE. Have every one from June 92 to the end.
