dencon Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 It looks like this guy mastered it to work with the last 68 El Camino. The one I am planning on coming out with is a revamped F&F and will not work with that later AMT El Camino. The newer kit is allot wider then the old AMT ElCaminos. So I could not get it all to work together. I had some issues come up with business and issues with the wagon master, and It does not look like it is going to happen till well into the next year.

MattGet the one from Matt that other one is a P.O.S,I can't believe someone bid on it!It would be worth waiting for his to come out,and have an accurate 70,not some cobbled up mess,the window areas by the back doors are ALL wrong!

Thanks for the vote of confidence!!! After the first of the year. I am going to really be taking the 69 Chevelle wagon very serious. I had to put a hold on it for a wile because of other things and just basically. I needed an awesome modeler to really massage the hech out of this body to make it up to my standards. Well I got someone to do it for me and made the deal and he will be starting on it at the first of the year. So this is going to guarantee that this resin model will be the best you can buy. I have contracted accomplished model builder, Ron Ramsey to finish this master for us. If you do not recognize his name. He was the first modeler to be featured in the new centerfolds that the other magazine started doing earlier this year. It was of that Gas Ronda 69 Mustang Funny Car. He also wrote the article about how to build the chassis for that model in the latest issue of that magazine. Ron has been not only a fan of all kinds of Chevelle wagon and drives a 66 that he bought in 72. He has built many models of all kinds of wagons. One was of his 66 Chevelle wagon. You think not a big deal because of the kit. NOPE! He built his model 10 years ago. So I figured that he was the best man for the job. So with all of that. We are going to make sure that this resin kit will be the best on the market. So it will take some time but it will be out by mid 2010. It will be worth the wait. If this one goes well. We will be working on a 70-71-and a 72 after the 69. If I can pull it off. I will have a 68 after that. Cover all of those years. I wish that I could make this resin work with the newer 68 El Camino, but it just cannot be done without just starting over. The newer El Camino kit is just physically wider. It just will not fit. I will also be selling this kit at levels. So you can spend as much or a little starting with just a body then going up from there with interior and chassis and other thing up to a full on kit. I believe in giving the customer a choice Keep On Building Your Model Cars. Mat @ DSRS

Mat @ DSRS I would really love to see the 69 also,I have a 69 ElCamino I won off e-pay 2years ago,and the thing is worthless,so PLEASE make that one,I'll get one for sure,I already made up the non SS hood ,to make one,I lost out back when F&F had them out,and have wanted one ever since!Steve Edited December 19, 2009 by spkgibson
disabled modeler Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I to am into the wagons,it would be great to have wagons of 67 to 70 chevys , 66 to 70 pontiacs, 65 to 70 plymouths, 63 to 70 oldsmobiles and buicks. there are a lot more wagon and 4 door builders out there than realized.

I totally agree!

One more reason to be thankful for the guys that're willing to take what for some of them is a very big risk in capital and time and give it a go with sedans and wagons. If I had more money, I'd be buying anything that was good quality and priced reasonably. Reasonably defined as "I pay for what I get or more." Charlie Larkin
disabled modeler Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Hi they really should consider doing them,in my opinion there missing the boat from talking to other builders and collectors over the years. ive always had someone asking about wagons and 4door sedans from the 60s body styles. they need to remember models are replicas of the real world....no any street any town every car is not an SS-GTX-GT,besides i think its time for something different, dont you all?
