Very nice Stan. This I like. A lot. Only one minor criticism. It looks great other than the ridge running across the roof where I assume you spliced the roof together. It's so minor I hate to mention it. And I would not change it now. Other than that, it's prefect. And I too would like to know more about the color. You mentioned Tamiya. Might it be Tamiya's Light Blue Metallic? Which turns out more medium, than light blue. A color I like a lot. And have used on several models. Again, a great job on a very cool concept Stan. I like it!

Hi Scott,I used a 64 impala roof section.the ridge is part of the 64 roof,i joined the two together just behind the "A" pillar.I don't think its light blue i think its a darker blue metallic.And thanks for your comments...

Looks like factory. I'm lovin' the SHINY :) :) :)

Thanks Jim,thats the look i was trying for after the rebuild.

I've never seen a 65 turned into an El Camino, very nice job. And the Pro Street on the trailer makes it a perfect combo.

Thanks dude,something out side of the normal..
