59 el camino

hi all,
was thinking of something cool to do with my 59 el camino. so after looking at what parts i can steel from what kits i come up with this. it my not end up this low but should be close. will have TPI from a corvette kit , thinking of orange for the color what u think ??? any other ideas be great ....

thanks for looking

Should look cool. A candy orange, maybe even 2 tone would look great on that body shape.

looking interesting can u get a metallic orange maybe.

I would have to go with a candy/metallic orange

.......with a white roof, maybe with a light pearl

what about Ford BA falcon colour Blood orange.

hmmm but thats a FORD color.... just jokes think the white roof is a must ... will check out the ford color.... see if i can find some pics to see what it look like .

ohhh yeah........... the wheels are off a F430 i had setting there unfinshed ...


Thanks for your input....

looks damn sweet. What about retro-fitting the drivetrain and interior to it from the ferrari. Thats only if the parts arent goin to be used from the ferrari kit! Then again that could be blasphemy in most peoples books.

i like were ur going with it, 2 tone orange and white, nice!!!

what about bring the white down to the top of the door,I had a HQ Holden that was painted ford blaze blue once

Nothing wrong with white and orange........

White and Orange were used by the factory on later El Caminos.

cool thanks for all the input .... white top and orange body was my first pick in colors.... just gotta work out what type of orange.
ok i am after opinions for interior and plug lead colors ???
Also i am going to try and get to the show in tumut as it is only 1 hr away from here ... maybe i mite bring this 59 with me .... hmmmm

have a look at tamiya acrylic color Buff XF-57 for inside with white.

well wotever the colours end up i think it will be sweet i have however seen a pearl white with a bright candy orange one in the states and it had a funny green intirior with white wierd i know but looked awsome ill see if i can find a pic of it

well not the one i was thinking of but heres a few nice ones to look at if u dont have any allready









just some pics i had floating around hope they help

Hi all,
got the body painted today ended up going with red because i had all ready had the brakes etc done red . still have to do the white roof. And started to put the engine together.

looking good so far.

Hi all,
well since i am home for a few weeks after a another small heart attack, i mite be able to catch up abit with some model stuff. Today got back on to the this one, i have changed the engine to a ferrari 612 scaglietti V12. Atm it is just sitting in there ,next is to get it mounted and cut some out of the gearbox tunnell so it fit.



Thanks for looking

Very good idea for this model, the wheels were very nice in it. I'm enjoying it so far seen, congratulations.

Hugs.

El Ferrmino. Cool.

And knock off those "small heart attacks" OK? You'll do a lot better without them.
