This looks very cool already! I always enjoy following your builds and these '59 Rancheros are very rarely seen as models. So this will be interesting to watch. Replacing the original "chassis" with the Edsel unit is a really good call.

Oooooh. I was just discussing with my model pal that there were too little El Camino and Ranchero models. This is awesome. Can't wait to see what you do with her.

Awesome project - I can’t wait to see what your plans for this one are...
I’ve been looking for one of the polystyrene Rancheros for ages, but they’ve always eluded me.
I wonder how the other parts from the old Revell ‘59 Skyliner fits the PMC model?

Really good score picking up this Ranchero! Has there been another one of these posted here before?

Can't wait to see how this turns out, John! I know you'll do it proud. Has there been another one of these posted here before? Sort of. I started a conversion based on the Revell Skyliner.

Thanks, guys!
Chris, the other parts from the Skyliner fit well – the rear bumper on the mockup is adapted from the Revell kit.
Randy, you need to finish that project! It looks awesome.

Another kick ass project underway! Personally, I think the stance is just right as it sits. Any lower in front would be too much.
It’s funny. I’m generally not into cars like this but put one in the hands of guys like you and Gary and I love to follow along!

Got the stance where I wanted it... Worked more on the fin tip repair. Also notched in a piece to the rear quarter panel to fix a short shot there. And got the Skyliner bumper cleaned an pepped for plating. There was another short shot at the lower corner of the front fender, so I notched in piece from the Skyliner to fit there... Finally, hacked up an AMT '59 Galaxie interior to fit. Kinda thinking I'll want to do more custom work in here, maybe bucket seats and console from a '63 Galaxie...
