79 el camino always wanted one

[staxxs]

well I picked it up sunday and drove it home 175 miles. there's much wrong with it paint chipping here n there, weather strips and dash all need some TLC. I want to do has much as I can at home short on funds. I want to clean the chassis up and want to know what nneds to be done. do I just left body up and wire brush as much as I can,. can id this without taking any thing of? I plan on getting new springs, shocks, new arms, my main idea is the chassis and axles. any info and tips will be nice. thank you here's some pics

Your cowl tag should let you know what the seats should be. It looks like someone has painted the car as the El Camino name tags are higher on the rear Q-panels then what I have seen. If you get the cowl tag info I will decode it for you.

beautiful :shock: and it even has "snowflakes"(gp owners are drooling right about now) do the seats you have recline and tilt full foward? ive always wondered this of these seats as i like the way they look ALOT better than the standard ones with chrome side covers.

thanks, the owner sprayed painted the wheel and as for the seat I don't think they recline back, the only thing I don't like about the seat is they don't lock up. dangerous

Drivers side on top of cowl, open the hood I think it is around the wiper shaft.
