El Camino to lifted wagon conversion | BUILD・PAINT・WEATHERING

I was challenged to convert a Hot Wheels die cast El Camino into a lifted station wagon. This video includes the painting and weathering steps, too. I scratch built the rear topper and the suspension is built from styrene! It is set in the world of the Post apocalyptic tabletop game Gaslands! I hope you enjoy the video and that it is useful for you in your hobby!
