Hey gbody fam, I'm back with my new project! 1986 El Camino ss! I've had alot of projects in the past, but none that Ive gone to the extent of restoration like I will with this one. She's gonna be a complete ls swapped frame off restore. It'll be my first ls swap, so be kind with all of my "dumb questions"... Been about 8 years since my last gbody (Malibu) project. Any knowledge, opinions, and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Looks like a good candidate for your plans. Why I’ll never understand why someone would originally order an SS without bucket seats.

I mean... the console gets in the way of your lady friend getting "close" while your driving...

So had some down time with these winter blizzards in Texas and decided to gut the interior. To my surprise, very very little rust (mostly surface rust). Plan on doing a custom dash and custom seats/center console (floor shift), everything will be brand spanking new.... Or thats the plan at least.... Wife may disagree with my spending habits
