What is everyone using for replacement head lights - tail lights in their builds these days? Pulling together a frame off 1987 El Camino SS pro touring car and I want to put some modern hi visibility headlights in it. I would also like matching taillights if I go HID, LCD, etc etc. Its going to...

Does anyone know if Lauren Engineering is still open? I have called several times and nobody has answered or called me back. I like both the SS and Lumina front ends they sell and was looking at a roll pan and stage 1 ground effects as well. Its getting close to time to send the Elco to the...

Building an LS powered pro touring El Camino and looking for some ideas on what to do with the AC. Thinking restomod or something similar but wondering what others have done.

I have been working on my pro touring el camino (Hell Camino) pretty seriously for several months now and finally got the chassis fabrication work finished last night. I have been learning at a steep rate for a couple months and thought I would share some pics and my experience with everyone...
