Pretty sharp looking car, and the price doesn't sound crazy. But, for all the work put into the body, the drivetrain seems pretty basic. It would be nice to see pictures of the build.

It's not bad looking, it almost looks like it could have really been factory made,

I'm not much of a fan of building stuff that didn't exist but this guy did a pretty good job and my opinion is just that, my opinion. ::)

The rear window area just dosent look right. 😮
If ya Google 57 El Camino. A bunch have been done with better rear window sections. Some have even used a 65 Chevy cab for it.
I kinda like just the original rear section.
