WOW, that's a beautiful custom El Camino, very well done!

Thanks! It all started when I discovered Paul Cepeda's 1:1 59 El Camino. Beautiful car with a chopped top and Impala tailgate/bed cover. I thought it was so cool it inspired me to build my own scale custom. (pic grabbed from the internet):

Ferby this is beautiful, . Excellent work, brother.

Thanks man! I love all types of cars, but traditional customs are my favorite. I have tons of ideas that I'd like to make in scale.......if I only had the time to make them! lol Customs take a long time to build at least for me ?

This build has superior flow to it-the mods and paint works to give a sleekness to it. Awesome!

Thanks! In my opinion the 59 El Camino and Impala are already so space age-y they only need the right 'nip and tucks' here and there to make them really slick ?

That is quite stylish. I wish I had that much imagination and skill.

I really love early customs, and this is one beautiful representation of the era. Really like the color and those black scallops really add to it.

Thanks! Early customs are my favorite subject matter. I had not planned on having those scallops. They were added to hide a painting flaw on the right fender lol ?

Wow beautiful concept and exicution

Thank you! I have no shortage of ideas/concepts, and I put my best effort into each build. But things rarely go as planned or as smoothly as I'd like so execution is usually hit or miss lol

Super-looking Custom. Really nice work. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the kind words! My posts are usually far and few between because my builds are usually pretty involved......and the fact that I'm such a slow builder certainly doesn't help! lol
