noname Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Years ago I saw a build some one did with this kit of a factory stock wagon. I was wondering if anybody makes the regular stock hood or/and hubcaps to turn this into a factory stock grocery getter?
Mark Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I haven't tried it myself, but I have heard that the El Camino hood is a loose fit on the wagon body.
noname Posted August 25, 2023 Author Posted August 25, 2023 Good to know. Is that kit still available or hard to find?
tbill Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 The hood from the elcamino fits ok, and the elco kit also has the stock wheels as mentioned. I’ll post a few pics later this evening, I did the wagon and elco and swapped some parts around
tbill Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Here are some pics, as you can see, the hood is really close, but not quite, but looks good just the same , but it does beg the question why is there a difference….. 1
Tabbysdaddy Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I filled the hood vents and took the steelies from the AMT 62 Impala convertible. 1
noname Posted August 25, 2023 Author Posted August 25, 2023 Thanks guys. Ya the hood looks pretty close. It wouldn't be hard to add to the hood edges if necessary to make a closer fit.
tbill Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I’m pretty sure I have another set of wheels around here somewhere, and maybe even a hood if you’re interested. Shoot me a pm if interested. 1
Mr. Metallic Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Replicas and Miniatures of Md offered a conversion set. Not sure if it's still in their catalog 1 1
noname Posted September 3, 2023 Author Posted September 3, 2023 That is neat. Thanks for letting me know. I have some hubcaps and a hood on it's way thanks to a kind member of this forum.?
