thanks man your el camino is pretty nice too is it choo choo or did you do a front end swap?

 

[oldtinsmith]

I just bought the the original nose piece at a swap meet (about 16 years ago and it was a factory second). All the mounting brackets I made, modified Monte SS headlight buckets (Choo Choo used Camaro buckets IIRC). Cut the ends off of a Monte aluminum front bumper and made the nose support to mount to the bumper. The picture you see in the avatar is 16 years old, and my trucklet is well worn and in my shop for a rebuild soon.

Yeah, it was easier back then cause I was only 49 years old at that time .
