You are now in Black Powder Country!!!!
Yeah Dave.....if I had the room, I'd be all over that one! But for now, the time and bank account are all drained on the El Camino. I was one of those young hoodlums who hung out at the hobby store most days.....It would be fun to do it again.

With all of the things going on in the world right now (not to mention firearms) it’s difficult to get overly interested in slot cars and Caminos. You’re right though, I don’t have to read it but I do anyway. It’s just that I don’t know why.

Looking great too.I know what you mean about the money part too. Hobbies are a luxury nowadays, and expensive. Ready to run slot cars run the gamut from $40 up to well over $100. Making your own like I mostly do, isn't cheaper either. It's usually more. But it's worth it to me.
That's outstanding, Mick. Thanks for the photo. I love those early El Caminos. Does that V-8 emblem on the side mean it has the 283 or the 327 Turbo-Fire in it?
It'd going into a buddies paint shop in a week or 2......and then the cash drain really starts. That stuff has gotten ridiculous for pricing.

That stuff has gotten ridiculous for pricing.The best paint I've ever used was Imron. You got 3 quarts of paint and a quart of hardener for 300.00 more or less depending on color and then you had to clear coat it. You can't get it anymore tho. It was gorgeous paint tho.
