thom hoos Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I started out with a 1969 ElCamino blend in a 1997 Corvette rear pan then added a 1970 Corvette L88 hood scoop.paint will be Atomic Orange and Bright Silver in the fashion of a late 1950 to early 1960 style paint scheme. More body mod are in store in the way of adding vents and body scoops. Chassis and interior are not even started let but will be a blend of Corvette ZR1's from the 1994 and 2010 model years. Look for more to come the L88 hood front view from above a view straight on the front a view from the back side and the paint scheme a blend of old and new with the strips of a grand sport 1962 Corvette side panels blend in 2010 Corvette ZR1 hood window blend in Almost ready for first coat of primer Edited April 26, 2011 by thom hoos

Mooneyzs Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Very Unique! Great start. Looking forward to seeing the complete project.
thom hoos Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks for your input 3 new pics added.The new sides and hood window,getting closer to primer Very Unique! Great start. Looking forward to seeing the complete project.
thom hoos Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Got the first coat of primer on now ready to start sanding
GTMust Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Man, those Corvette side scoops really work on the El Camino body!!! Great concept. I'm surprised someone hasn't done this in a 1:1 build. Overall, a great design...... keep it coming. (But how do you access the bed?) Tony
thom hoos Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for your input Tony I did think about that and even considered putting the fuel cell and adding a door the access the cell but decided against it I was afraid it would take away from the overall design.But who knows I may still do some type of access door.I am building this as a drivable but nonfunctional factory built concept car this is what is referred to as a test model.Just a lot of flash and not everything works.
