1969 Charger El-Camino style pickup....and the rest of the story...

[tim boyd]

I'm almost certain that I have previously posted pictures of my 1969 Charger El-Camino style pickup that i built back in 1969/1970.   What I have not done, I am also pretty certain, is show the entirety of that entire project, that also included a 1970 Charger funny car with a scratchbuilt tubular frame and interior paneling and a matching, mostly scratchbuilt Charger-themed towing trailer with a number of operating features.  Yesterday I posted new photos of the entire three-car set, along with a very detailed explanation of how the project came about and its results, in the Drag Racing section of the forum at this link.  

If the subject interests you further, you might want to take a look there, and if you do so, I want to thank you for your interest.   Best to you all....TIM

Very cool builds

Tim were you like nine in 1969 when you built that?  You were obviously born with a bit of building talent!   65 years later I am still working on mine.

David....I recall starting that model sometime in 1969 and i would have been age 15 at the time.  The three car set was finally completely finished just before our April 1972 trip to Washington DC for the MPC Regional Finals there, and I turned 18 that month.  I believe the pickup was finished before the other two cars, probably in late 1970 or early 1971 when I would have been 16....TB
