'86 Buick Camino

[Chuck Most]

This is basically spares from two parted out AMT El Caminos, and a Regal nose from an old stock car snap kit. I also dropped in a Vortec 4.3 V6 from a '94 Sonoma, just 'cuz I could. I'll probably replace the hood later on, but it's 'pretty much' done!

It's loosely based on a local guys's 'beater with style' that I used to see cruising around town about ten years ago, only the paint job on this model isn't nearly as rough as the 1:1 car!

[Poncho-Power]

different to say the least but i love the regal camino!

[Casey]

What, no fender portholes? I love the Pontiac version that was never produced, too.

[Keef]

i like it too

Neat idea, I've talked with people about this using the GN/GNX and Elky kits from Revell/Monogram. ot sure what would be cooler in it though, the Buick 3.8l Turbo or the Syclone 4.3l Turbo motors.

Pretty neat concept of putting the 2 together.

very nice looking Camino.

That's nice conversion...! Looks good, that could be just like from the factory line. That paintjob looks very good to me and that black hood is fitting just perfectly to this one. Must get that AMT Camino. How good or bad kit is it?

It is about equal to the other early '80's MPC kits- probably not the greatest, but totally workable.

did you have to narrow the hood or the front clip?

[Chuck Most]

I did not need to narrow the front clip- but I did have to shorten the hood.

This is so cool

I always wanted to do this to a 1:1 car with a 3.8 turbo power plant, in black of course.

Great job.
