1979 El Camino Build

[1979ratrod]

just figured id throw this up here. took it the other day on my phone. i havent been doing much on the car lately for some reason. probably lack of funds or just me being lazy cuz winter is coming up fast. but it told myself that i wont put another cent in my car besides for gas till i have a job. but i can still do stuff like the hood pins and flame thrower so maybe ill tackle that tomorrow or not haha. ive been a bit pre occupied too with my friends cars, my best friend has a 1987 monte ss that were doing an interior on, another one has a 2003 neon that were making into an srt4 and then i have a friend with a fox body mustang that needs a good amount of work then i have 2 other friends that both have srt4's that are beat to hell so im allways busy with there sh*t. ill try to get a pic of all the cars together one day. oh and my goal of having my biscayne on the road by summer clearly failed so i guess its my winter projects and ill just dick around with the el camino. sorry to ramble haha

picked up this at a swap meet the other day. its the gauge cluster cover from a monte ss is mint condition so im planning on putting it one but all the sweet aluminum panels i made dont fit so either i have to make new ones or cut these down. i would just whip up some new ones but my bench belt sander almost lit on fire last time i used it cuz the motor burnt out on it so give me some ideas cuz i need to cover the hole for the defroster and side mirror controler and put in my underglow switches

got my LED's in for my dash and rear view mirror. 18 LED's in the mirror. put it and and got it all hooked up. makes it sooo much brighter. for 9 bucks in total it is a great upgrade. i need to put red leds in my gauges and tach. thats tomorrows little project. let me know what you think and any ideas you got.
