I was looking through my parts bin for nice wheels and tyres, I found this combo Now I just needed a car.... Looked at a 66 Chevelle but they were too big on that one. So I found a bigger Chevy. To be continued.

Very nice Cragar SS wheels , those are really hard to find . Most kits have wheels that are close but just not right !

They are from the AMT 65 El Camino, I agree that they are among the better Cragars I've seen in scale, crisp detailing!

Most of the engine was painted when I bought the kit, but since this is no stocker, away with the red! Checking out the ground clearance after a couple of mods. Better but still not right.... This bumper won't scrape. You still see too much air under the car here....

Honest opinions please..... I was considering dark brown metallic but didn't find one that did fit my taste. However, I had a can of steel blue metallic that followed me home with some flea market bargains some years ago and I couldn't resist testing this... IF, and I say if, I'm going to use it, I will probably combine it with a silver metalflake roof, or maybe dark blue metallic or metalflake. But is the shade maybe too boring?

METALLIC WHITE Would look cool too with the steel blue

maybe a light blue metallic, to try and match this closer. I would think the dark blue may make this stand out too much - or any light metallic color would probably work - otherwise, I think it looks pretty cool

Cut down a 58 Impala tube grille to fit.
