New member. I'm in the process of finding the "right" G-body El Camino for a project. My plan is to find a really clean '81-87, then begin a process of modding to a 5.3 and manual trans. I've been doing some research, and want to learn from the experience of others rather than conduct "science fair projects". So I will probably ask several questions, and those questions may be elementary school in nature, so I expect to have to accept scoldings as I learn from others.
Right now, my ideal candidate would be a clean title, straight body, nice paint, and no rust to contend with. I've looked at a couple El Caminos, one has real potential and is priced reasonably, but the owner is hunting the title. The other is over priced and is too worn out.
My shop has a 2=post lift, welding equipment, and a pile of tools. I built the garage to support my Corvette track-days habit, but all things must pass. Old Mr. Cancer ended that fun. I'll post pics later. I live in Huntersville, NC, and as soon as I find the user CP I'll fix my avatar.
I'm impressed with this site for sure. I like a site where folks are considerate and polite, and cussin' kept to a minimum.
