I agree. But someone did a lot of work to make this car. I would like to see it in person.

I think the front clip would be a simple swap,but I agree someone went to some trouble on the back end,but it sure looks good. If it were mine, I'd want emblems or a script that said "OldsAmino",
And a "455" under the hood + Positraction would be nice. Larry

[QUOTE=joe_padavano;991780]It's not. The fender lines are totally different from the ElCo lines and don't match up. You need to swap the front clip, doors (which need to be ElCo doors skinned with Cutlass skins), and fabricate rear fenders.[/QUOTE
The doors for this particular car were sourced from Cutlass' for the sake of eliminating vent windows found on the El Camino. The door jambs were also sourced from a Cutlass. The dash structure from an Olds was also installed to the shell.

Like. But agreed would look better with wagon butt.
Friend had a pic of a supposedly factory done Pontiac version. As we talked about it I said seems that Chev and Pontiac could have both been given pickup versions and combined with Buick and Olds Skywagons for a very cool foursome.

Someone has put a lot of time and money into this car (truck?), and it looks right.
Not what I would do, but it's the free world we're living in, so applause for a fine job.
