’53 Chevy Elky - Bel-Air
What if Chevy made an El Camino in 1953?
This is my take on what it would look like.
I cut off the rear roof section including the trunk.
I couldn’t get the rear window to sit right after I shortened the roof to make the cab. No matter what I tried I wasn’t happy. So I decided to leave the con-cave look for the rear glass. The window glass is curved to the window contour.
I then tried to make it as stock as possible. I made a terrible mistake though. I put the Chevrolet emblems on upside down….I need a stronger pair of glasses. I actually never realized it until I looked at the pictures. I also forgot the radiator hose….old age and a bad memory slipping in.
I have some WIP’s on the formation of the bed. It is mostly sheet styrene and half round stock.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.
