Here’s one for you. Think of the most Beautiful auto you’ve ever seen that is not an Exotic Super-Car or F anything racer. Now take that beautiful Auto and turn it into a perfectly proper looking Pick-Up Truck ( Or as the Aussies call them, Utes!)
You know I tried this a few years back with a Ford Van Model. The old “Ironside” van .I was surprised at how neat it looked. reminded me of a larger version of the old Falcon Econoline High Deck P/U!
It’s not as much of a stretch to imagine or do. Try it sometime when You hit Builders Block!I have a chance to do this to a Kia Soul Die cast IF the dealership can get me one! I have been thinking about doing this to my actual car. I have even talked to a shop and he would be willing to take Payments IF I allow him to wrap the finished product. I dunno, Maybe?
I’ve seen a real '59 Cadillac turned into an El Camino-style pickup, by a stereotypical Texas oilman no less. I always thought that would make a great model.
I call this Chevrolet the “Palamino”, from ImPALA and ElCaMINO.
I used an AMT '62 Impala convertible, an AMT '65 ElCamino, and the hardtop roof from a Monogram '58 Thunderbird. I also used the back half of the chassis from an AMT '59 ElCamino for this build.
