66 El Camino

I started this one a few years ago. I broke it out, so I could get one more finished for 2013.

I had already painted the body Model Master Burgundy Red Metallic but it was more brown than red

I did have to paint the engine compartment & under the hood, though

Interior, painted & flocked

Dash with decals

Engine & distributor

Chassis

Assembled Chassis

I've got a couple more days, to finish it, but I think I can pull it off

Looks great, very well done. I am a fan of the Chevy rally wheels, where did you get yours?

Good luck with yours. Yes, the hood is from the wagon kit.

I'm a huge fan of rally wheels, too. I ran them on all my Chevys, back in the day. I'm pretty sure they came out of the Revell 69 Z-28 Camaro. I painted Testors steel, between the hub caps & beauty rings & black washed the ribs on the hub caps.

Thanks for the rest of the comments. I love the color, too. I was sure I shot a 36 Ford, in the same color, & it came out maroon. Of course, that was over 20 years ago, so maybe my memory is a bit foggy. I got some work, on it, tonight, & I have tomorrow off, so I have a good feeling about getting it done, before the clock strikes 12.

Here's a couple more work bench shots. I did get it finished, before the end of the year. Here's a like to the Under Glass post.
