    1979 El Camino Build

    I guess this is my yearly post. Put the elco away for the winter in my barn. I have big plans of doing a pour in slab in the barn and turning it into a garage so I can finally work on the elco again. It makes me sad looking at all the years of work just rotting away in my driveway. I plan to...

    I say do what you want and screw anyone's opinions. That said here is mine lol: stock cars are boring and they don't interest me even a little bit. Do something fun and crazy that stands out from the crowd. Make a head turner.

    Drove the elco up north to the kangamanhis highway with my car club and it did surprisingly well. Out for 11 hours with no problems. Here are a few pics

    Literally the only thing I've done in the past year is throw this delete plate on the other day. Missing 5 bolts for it if anyone has them for sale. Engine bay is a mess and rusty because I was dumb and put a truck battery in it to drive it around and then decided to get sideways with it and it...

    Again it's been a long time since I've posted. Unfortunatly I don't have a garage to store the elco in and I've been busy with my house so havnt had much time to do anything with it. I rebuilt the rear end again since I blew it up and cooked the pinion gear. Also went out to el camino night this...

    18 and 20" foose wheels. Just some junk mixed brand tires. I wouldn t suggest getting foose wheels, they are heavy and junk. Chrome is peeling like crazy and they are only a few years old.

I need a new exhaust that isn't hacked together by me, to rebuild the rear end that I already blew up, install...
