87 El Camino Daily Driver/Weekend Cruiser

That looks Ssweeeet bro! love the detail! Good looking out on the power steering lines 8)

Thanks fam!! That sand blast really helped with how the paint layed. Would have turned out waaay sweeter if it was warmer.

So thats what u been up to... Lookin goood bro.

Yessir! Just a lil "arts and crafts" time bro. Nothing really special. Lil lazy as of late. But my 2 week vacay is coming and Imma get things goin really quickly here in a lil bit. Taking full advantage of the time off...

nice bro, imma be picking up a couple of front and back sets real soon, gonna need you to clean them up for me, that seemed way easier then what I had to do

Preciate you blessing me with these bro!!! I cant wait to get it crackin and learn how to do this. I just need the backing plates and then I can cut the parts I need to trim off the g national setup at work. Ive been looking thru your step by step pics and instructions on how to do it all. Man We really appreciate all the hard work!! Also I'll start looking for another set of 2" drop spindles that i can trim/cut/mod at work for the front disk setup. I might do the C-5 setup and just grind/smooth the "Corvette" tags.

Ahhh man thats tight i love the colors u painted them...looks like factory..keep it up...

Thanks fam!! When I saw that Titanium blue/silver, it looked really close to the color Im painting the truck. So I said wtf and tried it out. Sand blasting the surface really helped out. I shoulda waited till it warmed up tho. This cold weather is no good for painting. But its just the el-daily driver so its all good.

I put the other one together. Looks pretty decent. Imma wait 7 days and then wet sand the red and then use some VHT SP730 Gloss Clear to protect em...

Well thats all i did. Kicked it relaxed. Back on it tomorrow. I need to get my braided lines and finish plumbing it all. Thanks for checking back..

I can't wait to see The BCT back on the road. We need to all get together and hang out after the holidays are over. Love the detail your putting into the brakes. We are doign something similar to 500s Aerocoupe. I hope we can finish it by the New Years.

As you already know, Ive been blasting these parts for the crew like crazy! LOL! And Im doin it after work which makes for a long day(night). But thats how I get down. Puttin my "lil bro's" before me. Imma get on it this weekend fam. Ive been getting my brake setup together. 14" rotors, Vette C5 calipers, Hawk Pads, rear LS1 upgrade with backing plates. I just got my camera back from Dave and will get back on my grind fam. Soon as I felt the cam in my hand it ignited the old Elco! LOL! AND!!!! We got a Harbor freight and a Napa in Moval! Yeeeeessssssssss!! Now things are local. No more trips to Riverside and then back up the hill. Thats my main reason for not moving fwd. LOL! Be on the lookout for some updates this weekend in HI DEF! Headed to the garage now to clean up before I head into work...

Broke the Camaro SS backing plates down that Skip pulled for me. Blasted em and sprayed em up.....
Sorry bout the pics. Rushing before I head in to work

I need to hit Napa up and see if I can find the "dust boot" that covers the parking brake "lever".

Spindles got blasted..

PAB's got blasted. These are the ones Skip pulled from a vette. I'll ask him to chime in on it...

14" of pain for a hatin azz hater

Waiting for the rears to come along with my other Kore3 hybrid kit for the spindles. I also picked up a front and rear braided hose kit. Now I gotta get some wheels. Thats the only thing that sucks about the upgrade. I like ridin on stock 14's. Oh well. A small price to pay for such a clean *ss upgrade..
