lets see if i can remember here but i remember ill find the link just give me a minute but you need to get the amt 86 i think el camino and get a 70/72 chevelle kit cause you will need parts from both kits! but you will cut behind the doors and the lower part of the a pillars and do a basic nose swap and modify parts from both kits to fit and i think if im right you would use the chassie from the 70/72 amt chevelle kit! now let me see if i can find that link for you!

my bad its a 68 el camino kit you need and heres the link to sae!

I HAD to look at a pic of one ... im not familiar with that year range! but i would think to use a 68 el camino body with 73-75 chevelle as a bases!???

Good luck with that Jeff as that body was only around from 73-77. I think there was a 1/32 scale snap kit of that body style but I don't remember anything in the 1/25 size. Other than the NASCAR kit, I don't even think that there as a regular kit of a Chevelle. Pretty sure there wasn't a promo either.

I remember a neighbor had a '74 and it was loaded with the SS package and power everything. He used to try to get me to wax it for $5 but I caught on quick when I saw him struggling with those long fenders and quarter panels!

JEFF B. IS THIS GOING TO BE THE "MY NAME IS EARL " EL CAMINO? IF SO, INCLUDE HOW TO PAINT IT. I THINK IT WAS RED-ORANGE WITH A PRIMERED FENDER AND BED .I THINK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS LT BLUE!!
