1964 Elco 60's style custom lowrider

[Finks Garage]

I acquired this '64 in May as a rebuilder in a bag. It had been stripped of paint and in pieces. I thought it was a '65 at first. To my surprise it was a '64 and glad it was!!

 

Parts list:

Splash Paints - color and clear on body

Craft store paint for interior color.

Pegasus rims, tires and disc brakes.

Detail Master goodies under the hood.

Mr. Model decals for center of seats and door panels.

Detail Master steering wheel painted to match interior color.

Shifter from 32 Vicky custom interior.

 

Was going for a period custom/lowrider from mid to late ‘60s.

Turned out to be a great addition to my collection!

Enjoy

Nice! Looks great!

Love it. 

Bonus points for keeping the straight six. ?

Great looking paint finish and color. With the stance and the lowered suspension along with the supreme wheels it has the low rider look.

NICE!

Great color combo you got going on with that one.

'64s are hard to find. I have a '64 wagon but I've been thinking of using an old '65 Elco body I have to do a conversion as the wagon body is missing the cowl and a chunk of the left fender.

Beautiful El Camino. Colour and wheels both perfect. I really dig the six, too.

Cool El Camino.  Nice stance and wheels/tires.  Good to see a straight six instead of a V-8.

Nice.

Pretty sharp looking 64.  Great looking straight 6 in the business end.

Nice and low Elco there Larry. I'm  a big fan of using a different shade of the same colour for the interior. Using the inline six makes sense for this style,"low and slow." Well done.

Cheers,

Awesome rebuild! I really like the green paint. The straight 6 really caught me by surprise! How do you tell the 64 & 65 apart from each other?

The grill and hood are the 2 easiest ways to tell. The 64 has a straight across hood where the 65 have a peak in it, pointing outward in the middle. Blue on is 64, red one is 65.

Thank you! The grille is very obvious, with the bar across the middle. The hood is noticeable, but a bit more subtle.

Great looking build. Really pulls off that low rider feel to it. I don't think they were ever meant to haul anything, anyway. Great paint and color match up.

Liking this one a lot, clean and stylish. I’ll have to agree with everyone else, kudos for keeping the straight six.

[bbowser]

I too love the Stovebolt.  How did you do the headlights, they look very good?

A lovely Elco build, proper stance and perfect colors. Nice job, I'd like to see it photographed with a proper background!
