Body parts question????

[85cutlass]

Do Monte Carlo fenders and doors fit on an elcamino, or do the cars have different body lines? I just recently picked up an 87 elcamino that was hit in the front left. I wanna buy a doner car. I have seen monte front clip on the elcaminos. Was just woundering if the fenders and door would work off a monte as well. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

The actual Monte SS nose is about 4" wider than the El Camino/Malibu. On most of the EC's you are seeing is the "Choo-Choo" nose sold by Honest Charlies or a fiberglass replica from Lauren Engineering.
To answer your question to use the parts from the Monte you will either need to cut off the front part of both fenders and weld them together or replace the entire front clip, hood, fenders and doors. Even then you will need to change some body lines on the bed part of the El Camino. So NO the monte parts are not a direct fit on an El Camino, only the Malibu is.

Ok thank you that helps a lot. So I will look for a Malibu or a el camino. Thanks for the info.
