I have built not only the original issue El Camino but her sister kit, the ’66 Chevelle wagon as well, both share the same tooling. I remember my experiences building both these kits fondly, so I jumped at the chance to build the California Wheels version of the Elky for review. This time it was decided that the car would be built similar to the custom version on the box art, which is a bit out of my comfort zone as a factory stock builder, but knowing the kit I was willing to do so.
As loathe as I was to build this kit as a custom from the start, I’m glad I did. It gave me a chance to go outside my “comfort zone” of building stock vehicles and allowed me to let my imagination take over. A better kit could not have been selected for this venture. Minor fit issues, decal preparation and extensive finishing details are examined in the this review.

I like how you commented on the cigarette pac foil for the tail lights to give it depth I never thought of that. I build mostly race car stuff if you look at my reveiws on this sight and I use the foil for heat shields in the floor pans and will use it to wrap around the the seat it gives it a nice look Ive also used it as an insulator for the fire walls it works great in alot of different ways. I dont smoke anymore but I know people that do and they save the foil for me its kind of funny once people know things like this and will get into saving it up for you. I have a small box full Ive actually sold it in packs at swap meets to ther builders am I bad? Nice build!
