The two-into-one El Camino

Here is my current El Camino the day I got it.

Here is my first one in the garage to be torn down and stripped of anything of value.

What was wrong with the black Elco? Was that the one with transparent framerails in the rear?

Looks pretty rusty to me.

Indeed, that one was pretty far gone. And yes, it got new frame rails and body mounts in back. Even the box the body mount bolts to had to be reconstructed. It needed most every body panel, and once we started takin it apart, we noticed pin holes in the frame near the lower control arm front mount. A few hard launches with a sticky tire woulda ended bad.

Oo oo you are close by!!

A good friend on mine just got an '84 wagon. He is looking for a Monte SS interior, like the dash and console. Hes got a 470hp 383 and shooting for 11s on spray.
