Default Is it a car or truck?

While im waiting for some suplies to come for my supra project, i decided to make a little "inbetween update" project.

So what i have here is a chevy elcamino. Since its such a long chassis it will probly be my land speed race car. For paint im probly going to do black and white two tone.





The mount is made up. Im getting ready to JB weld it up.



More to come later. C&C welcome.

looks like you have a good start. With the paint are you just going with a straight line two tone?
I think you should break it up with a little v shape design or something to give it more of an eye grabbing look.

Are you putting a cover over the bed?

Thanks. Nope, no drifting. It will pretty much be a drag car/land speed racer.

not bad so far, good work with the clip, i would smooth out the edges or drop it down a little bit more, el caminos were not mean for hauling anything really, just an american tradition. heres an idea of what it could look like
