Re: "ChevelleCamino" Ramp Truck

Awesome, love that engine bay, and the subtle weathering all around. Love the colors too. It'd be nice if the rear suspension was squashed down when you put a car on top.. heh..

Re: "ChevelleCamino" Ramp Truck

Thanks, it is "squashed", I put air shocks (just non working model parts) on it and there is some travel from the rear chassis within the body.

And remember, this is actually a Chevelle Station Wagon (4 door), not an El Camino.

Now this is cool. Excellent workmanship. The weathering and all the little details like the wiring on the winch make this a winner. My favourate added touch is the dog, the perfect icing on this cake.

Ah, cool.. I guess it's hard to tell the suspension is "squashed" from the pic angles, but I can kind of see it now that you mention it, not that it would matter even if it weren't since it looks good anyway. Also.. WHOA! I didn't realize this was built from the 4 door wagon. Even more awesome!

Re: "ChevelleCamino" Ramp Truck

Great work. Your scratch building is amazing. I like the weathering, the engine looks great. I really like that chevelle wagon, I have the kit as well and am going to do something unexpected with it!
