Maybe you could change the Nissan front up a little to make it look like a mini Escalade????

so its been a while since i posted and have done any work to the camino but i was in Alaska for a week. i went out to visit a friend and i had a great time. figured id post a few pics of the trip




so that was a really good time but anyways ive been meaning to do the front bags on the camino and new upper control arms fow a while and i started on it last night.

Glad you had a good trip, I need one. :idea:
Any progress is good progress. Not being done gives you something to look forward too. At least that's what I tell myself to feel better.
I'll pm you a link of my latest playing around.

Looks great. Do have any detailed pictures of the suspension installed. I was wondering about the front shocks. Did you have to relocate or was all factory mounts used.

That looks like the stance we both want,you just need some extended rockers to make it look lower. :wink: :wink:

ok so its been a couple of months since ive posted anything. ive been super busy tho; sold my nissan minitruck, bought a jeep wrangler, bought a motorcycle (1981 cb650 soon to be cafe racer), bought a 1990 foxbody mustand and last but no least i neglected my el camino. i had some winter plans for it but who knows now, lets hope haha. but anyways i broke it out and took it out for a huge meet in boston in a parking garage. lot of tuners and such so i didnt really fit in but the elco got alot of attention. here are some pics i found online that other people took at the meet.




and then last night a friend of a friend took some nice pics






and this one is because race car

That stance you got now should get everybody's attention, kinda hard to ignore. It can be cool finding your pics on the internet, I even made the most hacked & ugly sh*t of 2013 list on the s-10 forums .
Got a cb 650 huh, I still got my 81'cb750c I bought back in 89', just haven't even started it in years now. May as well go with the modern café racer theme, hard to find original parts these days.Their great little engines, have fun with it.
Good to hear from ya.
