1980 BBC El Camino Pro Touring Turd

If you desire a rat-rod 1980 grille and bumpers, I would happily trade you mine plus some cash. My grille is a little peely, but the bumpers are shiny, just without the deluxe rubber strips. Long-shot, I know.

Sorry, but I love these bumpers. I wanted to do a fiberglass front bumper, but it would just look too plain for me(not that I'm in to flashy stuff or anything).

Here is my turd with some paint!

Looks perfect as it sits.

Thanks! It's been a lot of work, but it's starting to get there. At least it looks presentable now. My fiancé was getting tired of riding around in a primered El Camino haha

What color is it? It looks gray with a tint of blue for me.

Looking even better! Keep up the posts. You could call it the battleship now. Door locks next, so dining out is not always via the drive-thru...

It's gray. For some reason it does have a tint of blue in those pictures. I think the lighting just made it look that way or something

Haha that's one of many things on my list of things to do. I just had to get a new ignition switch because I lost my only keys to it, so I'll need to get new door locks as well

Good plan getting the major work done before babies start showing up. Whatever you do, don't sell it, no matter how bad the finances get.

Once the babies start showing up, I may have to swap all the cool stuff into a malibu wagon
