Default July art contest theme...

Alright, so we've covered the Wagon base, I'm thinking we may roll with the utility vehicle theme again...

Another noteworthy and often forgot about basis for a hot rod project is a car, or maybe it's a truck, no a car... Anyways, this one is inspired by my Bro-in-law who buys older homes outside the KC , MO area, renovates them and re-sells. One he bought a couple years back happened to have a worn but mostly original 69 396/4 speed SS El Camino in the garage. As a motorhead himself he managed to get the car thrown in the deal. What a find!

To all those elky and ranchero fans this one's for you. I'd like to put a twist on it though, I call that not only can you use the ones that really existed, but how about making one out of a car that never was an elky? Hmmmm, how about a 62 Impala based Elky, or an early Ford Thunderbolt Ranchero, or get even more nuts like our hero Steve Stanford and make one out of a 70's Duster. Original body or not, have a blast with one!

Here's some inspiration...

Sweet Elky recently seen at a show...


Check this out, a shelby front bumper section...

Get out your pens and mice and let's see what you got!

This might fit with your theme, I did this about a year ago for a private client.

The client wanted a 2009 Cadillac front end (with a few revisions) on an early '80s El Camino body.
One version of the project was the idea of making it a 'dually', with a monster twin turbo Banks diesel motor!
