'59 EL CAMINO

findly got my hands on one of these its a '59 chevy EL Camino, been after one for years,will be building it as a stock pickup and 2 tone paint on it, will lookat at building it in a few months after I get some other done.

going to paint it pearl white and candy red,like this one.

I like the colours you chose Allan

Thank's Geoff,was going to paint it black untill I looked on the web an found this one.

Glad you aren't going with the black colour Allan. Pearl white and red look super together. Keep us posted.

Ya Tezza43,the red-white will look cool thinking of one of my candy reds on it with the pearl white.

Got one of these myself Allen, looking forward to seeing yours finished, colours sound spot on

Thank's Johno,waiting for fine weather before I start this one,going to see if I can get another one to build as a full custom.

justed undercoated this one in grey primer,thinking on the colour seen a cool metalic green at supercheap auto the other day mmmmm white roof too.

primer on it.

got some paint on top of it colour Shanghai Red,bottom will be pearl white.

colour inside,the grey will be painted pearl white.

going with one colour on the ute.

this one has been held up because I did not have any BMF,yesturday I visted a friend who is a modeler I bought a sheet off him of ultra bright chrome so now I can foil this one,YA

Oh here is were I got the idea for a all red one.

Hey Al , Will it be on its guts ? Love the old el camino lines ,just wish I had the patience to do a stock one . Great build coming along I think

no not going to lower it,this maybe sound a silly question do I BMF the body then clear coat it and polish it or BMF after its cleared and polished.

BMF after clearing and polishing, otherwise it goes more of a dull aluminium look instead of being shiny. (I think, that's the way I always proceed). And don't use a wax until your finished because the BMF wont bond as well.
Why one colour? As good as that last pic is, you could achieve the same look two tone. Really should have painted the white first for it to work well.

Thank's for the infor Kane,chicken out on the 2 tone as I alway bugger it up 2 tone paint jobs ,have thought about just painting roof white,the pearl white that I had used it on a vette it came out off white looked like a dirty white.

add a bit of white to this one.

Looks good Allan , now get it done

Ooh yeah. Looks great Allan.

Sweet, looks really nice.

just found some missing parts that I thought that were lost for ever ,Ya now I can finish this one now for some fine weather.

Come on Allen, pull you finger out, this gonna be a sweet build if you ever finish it.
