ERIK88 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Building this one into a lowrider. The lowrider scene is what got me into this hobby, back when lindberg sold it's jumping dancing red impala boxed kit, along with the purple lowrider van and others. I still have barely any room to build , but took out the bare essentials needed to build this one like e dehydrator and paint booth. Hopefully it gets finished in a few days . One question for you guys , does the chrome trim around the bed of this el camino apply for all Camino, or can I skip this part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Looks a good start! Sorry I cannot help you with the chrome part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwildpunk Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Most if not all late 70s to 80's el caminos I've seen have the the chrome trim. Idk if it came on all of them but it was on a lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 All El Caminos , regardless of the model year , came from the factory with chrome ( or stainless ) trim around the bed opening . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIK88 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Idk what do you guys think? Cover on or off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIK88 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think I'm gonna have to go with the cover off on this one, shows the el caminos true lines without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Erik, its your choice but all my el caminos have bed covers on them. I have a 66,65,and a 86. I like the sporty look. Keep up the good work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
