Finks Garage Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 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 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Love it. Bonus points for keeping the straight six. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Great looking paint finish and color. With the stance and the lowered suspension along with the supreme wheels it has the low rider look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Beautiful El Camino. Colour and wheels both perfect. I really dig the six, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrucha Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Cool El Camino. Nice stance and wheels/tires. Good to see a straight six instead of a V-8. Edited August 27, 2023 by carrucha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Pretty sharp looking 64. Great looking straight 6 in the business end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYHARRY Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 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, David. 😎👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncbuckeye67 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Thank you! The grille is very obvious, with the bar across the middle. The hood is noticeable, but a bit more subtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Rod Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Liking this one a lot, clean and stylish. I’ll have to agree with everyone else, kudos for keeping the straight six. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
