My 60 Elcamino turned fenderless hot rod

Very creative Doc, car is looking awesome.

Pete has a point though, the grille-headlight-front end sub-ass'y just doesn't flow like the body does. Perhaps less would be more?

How about putting the radiator in the back, lying flat in the bed? Let the motor hang out in the wind......

 

I like every thing but the front grill it does not fit with the rest of the car in my eyes ! But everything else is really number ONE. I feel also that less would have been better on the front end its to heavy for the design.

But the rest of the car really rocks !

 

Now these two would really work with your design.

Also the guy who did the hand drawings up the page thinking Edsel was really nice for your car in my humble opinion.

 

Very clean look, nice illustrations full house mouse.

 

Does anybody remember the Tiago Ranchero? Somewhat similar concept but less radical.

 

i gotta start my own rod i know a cab i could get for cheap hmmmmm....

 

very cool that is one nice Camino. Do you have any more pic's?

 

BTTT! How could I have missed this one!?!

 

That looks way cool.. we want more pictures.. how much further have you got on this??

 

Dr.Kerry -- This is a pretty cool model!

 

More pic's would be nice, come on Doc.

but don t tease ya gotta post more pics

 

Well what can i say,This thing is the gas,it rocks,the best thing since sliced bread.
Doc you have a outstanding vision,keep us posted .....
More pic's please..

 

NUTS! Love it. Need more pictures!

 

X2 an update is necessary

 

way cool

 

That is gonna make a cover!

 

A couple more thoughts on a grille, borrowing from Jiggers fantastic sketch... The character changes quite a bit depending on how much trim you keep and the angle of the vee...

And also a fat-finger engineer hand-sketch for context.

 

man that thing is wicked..nice job

 

Here's something I did a while back on a Chevy Stepside.
Maybe it will give you some ideas.

Not that you need 'em... wild man!
I love it.

 

More pics and updates.........please!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So, Doc, any progress yet?
Ive been checking on your Elko since b4 i registered as a member,
and never forget about it, its the first car that comes to my mind
when talkin fenderless cars (hot rods apart of course), and even thou
its not finished its alreay one of the bestone around.....
Then, what about the A w/ fins at the open house pictures at page 12 post 235?
Superfleye also wanted info on tha one.
Thanx for the inspiration and good luck w/ the rest of the build.
bonez

 

Jonesin' for an update on this wild ride, what gives? Feed me Seymour!

 

This is it at the Winfield/Watson get together.

 

Looks like it's getting close, I'd like to see some more current build pics.

 

x2 please

 

Your El Camino gave me an idea to build one in scale, except I went a little more "OFF" the beaten path with mine. Just thought I'd show you!!!

 

That's rad Doc!

 

sweet build

 

I love it too
