thanks guys and yeah side exits are badass when they go into steel ground effects. and 307 Regal i like the drop spindles. ive had them on for like 3 years and they are just great. and Ductape im sure i can get some good ideas from you too haha.thanka for the awesome grill 91hrdbdy everyone thinks it looks nasty! i sent a few people your way too.
but anyways here is some progress. i did a msd coil cuz my original one was going bad

did some more work on my tailgate but still needs more work

el camino night was last friday and i had a good time. this was before we went to the speedway

and here is the last thing. im making my own electric hide away front plate mount.i added a hinge and a bar to pull it and its going to get hooked up to a windshield wiper motor

Definitely likin your choice of taillight cutouts. Been looking into cheap sources of mesh grilling for covering taillights. Office supply magazine molders & trash cans is one possible cheap source(Wal-Mart, etc) , but kinda thin. I'll keep looking.

PS, if you're considering your own steel ground effects, you could just make an extended rocker cover. Would be a whole lot simpler & quicker than my stuff, which was mostly to widen the body.

i was some real thick mesh at home depot that looked nice but im not sure yet. and yeah im not trying to widen the body too much i just want to mold in the tip and continue the body line down a bit.
