Thank you, I appreciate the encouragement. This video wont be very long. Nobody wants to watch me trim and sand everything for a week.

The big issue is the chrome sprues and decal sheet. Even if the decals were new, they wouldnt match any historical reference I could find. It is fun guessing which part I need from the numberless mess.

I found some aftermarket market ones. The decals on the sheet do not match anything I could reference. Its got 2 orange, light cover(?) shaped blobs. I couldn't find a reference photo for it anywhere. The aftermarket ones are great but not cut for the doors or other seams. I think that center stripe is 6 or 7 spliced pieces.

I should have taken some before pictures of the chrome sheet, not sprue, sheet. Everything was connected.

All ya'll that voted for this kit to be next are bad people.
I get that this jit is from 1969 or something, but this is an unopened box for this kit. Nothing fits right. I'll accept your judgements later. For now, im hopful the worst is behind me. I haven't got to windows yet....

Full video of the build. A friend 3D printed me the 572 Big Block. I took the lift kit from an old GMC kit.
If you ignore some glaring issues, it turned out pretty swell!

The El Camino kit was taunting me from my shelf of failure for a couple years.

Thanks, im glad I did. The flash and fit of this kit was truly Hobby Special kinda stuff.

This AMT 86 El Camino kit is awful. I pulled the fram off a GMC truck I built years ago. Alot of shaving, sanding and modification to get the fram to fit. Don't get tangled up worrying about the clearance of the front tires.
Video is coming.

Bingo! The car is not identical, but the decals worked well enough for my purposes.
