Very cool, I've owned a few El Caminos and wanted one of these.

I'll be following for sure!

What the hell is a Crystallite build? Why is it named after a diet drink? Call me stupid🙂.

Crystalite was a company out in California that sold ground effects and performance G body parts. They also would take an El Camino and do an IROC conversion on it for $24K I believe. I had ordered the IROC front end and ground effects to do the conversion myself. They ended up going out of business, but the owners son started Lauren which sold mainly just the ground effects and fiberglass parts.

I figured so. I bet Crystallite sued them for copyright infringement, as they should have, just a dumb name but an interesting product.
