1979 El Camino Build

[-83MONTESS-]

That plate wont be there long! You hit a bug too hard and I bet you lose it with it hanging there like that.

1/8 thick plate frame on hinges so when I hit stuff it just swings up. If not I'msure Iit would be long gone

yesterday i went to race wars at my local dragstrip. a big car group hosts it once a year and i had a great time. first time ive ever ran my car at the drags. more pictures to come as people edit and post them. lots of tuners and imports but lots of people seemed to love the elco.

I liked the teardrop shaped tail light openings since you first did them , the leds add a new modern dimension to them.

The 3 accessories pictured above don't look too shabby either.

so i had today off and i got some inspiration from the juggernaut build and wanted to finally fix my rear bags. they sit at an angle and i hate the mounts i have for them so i wanted to make my own. i need to get a plasma cutter or something to quickly cut thick metal. took forever but im happy with them. still need to weld them onto the rear diff.

Glad I could be of some inspiration for you Ratrod!
Looking good, keep up the nice work! It's all about making our rides better than what the aftermarket has to offer us...
