Brizio Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Sometime you see a picture online, and you want to build it. I saw a picture of this vehicle, and here I am, with another project on the bench... Not knowing exactly what the 1/1 vehicle is based on, I use a El Camino SS kit, from AMT/ERTL. Here the start, the boring part to build a rolling chassis, I did make new springs for the rear. Now into more interesting stuff, in building the structure of this vehicle. Little bit after I toke this photo, I removed the two diagonal piece on top of the fire wall. I'm not sure if the wheels and tires are from the El Camino kit. When I got this kit the box was open, and some parts were loose. Test the fittment of all the parts to make sure the tires will be touching the ground. Later I will add the rest of component in the engine bay, and add a was all around, wheels/tires and under chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 More progress! The boring part was to carve all the wood grain, on all the pieces. Time consuming but as you can see, it helps to simulate the wood. I will add also a wash later. The interior, is pretty much completed, no I dea where all the parts came from, as far as kit. But they works good for this project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
