I really like the idea of painting the suspension accessories the same color as the car it has me thinking now.

Me, too......but my car is black....
ElCaminoGRAN/SPORT, love the intensity you are putting in the work on your Elky. Your little girl reminds me of my 3 boys (5,8 and 11).....they always want to be doing something when I'm working on anything....especially the 87. Keep the updates coming.

Well got on my engine compartment cleaned and sprayed this weekend wanted to do more but so lil time.Now gotta start putting things back on got all my acc. allready still gotta purchase a carb(Holley670cfm),master cyclinder,radiator and dual ele. fans, and a few small goodies.once I get this engine compartment done and fired back up then its shocks and springs,then new calipers and brakes all around.(If it seems like Im ramblin alot of this is to remind myself of the game plan).Still gotta figure out what to do about my rear end.A race shop qouted me$900 two hours have me out the door with a new posi and 3.23.but I know of two SS monte(83,85) rear end both under $150 then I will atleast already have gears cause these 2.14 killn me.But heres pics all black with a touch of red it looks real good gonna pop once I add the chrome accs.I got off today it was a li ldusty cause im outside and it might show in some pics but it aint in the paint.Next update thurs day will be off and can start pieceing it together, I got a aftermarket powersteering bracket that mounts it to the front of the engine,but I lost the instructions,so gonna have fun figuring out how it goes(10pcs).Till next time keep it G. check them last shot are my 78 Delta 88 and 350 engine all ive did to this car is add true duals w/glasspacks and its a big o'beast i swear olds are torque monster ,but anyways gonna take it to the test and tune this thursday and take it down the 8th and show the unbelivers what a stock olds can do .Will take vids and post in General Topics.Sorry for all the spit till next time peace...
