1960 El Camino

[TooOld]

Some of you may have seen this one before . Built in 2013 it's a replica of an El Camino I owned many years ago , it had a 283 / 4 speed and was painted Roman Red with the Impala trim . In 2019 I redid it adding the poseable steering and the correct wheels and tires which I couldn't find in 2013 .

It's built using a Revell '60 Impala with the roof and bed from the AMT '59 El Camino grafted on . I had to lengthen the bed about 1/4 " to line everything up , and modified the tailgate and rear bumper . I used the Revell chassis and modified it to show the bed floor and added a correct gas tank . The headers and exhaust were made from aluminum rod . The engine and tranny are from the revel '63 Impala .

With the '60 Station wagon being reissued soon I'm planning another El Camino project and maybe a Sedan Delivery too .

Thanks for lookin' !

And here's the original WIP thread from 2013 . . .

Very cool El Camino, Bob. Nice and clean, and nicely sorted under the hood, too. It's a sweet looking machine. The 1:1 must have been a fun ride.
