I would love to see this car at this event,I read his build thread and its just a shame I have to work. I was down in Charlotte last fall for the Goodguys event down there and got to see the tempest and an el camino on the autocross, I talked my wife into getting into one of the cars and it just happend to be the el camino she got to ride in, I think his name was Matt if i remember correctly, anyways she loved the experience and is now on board with me getting my g-body cutlass done and she doesnt think its such a waste of money to build one of these cars. I was also at the Des Moines,IA Goodguys and only got to see the el camino do one run that saturday and I didnt get to stay for the sunday showing. Im stoked that people are starting to build these g-bodys and that they are showing up more and more often. So good luck Dan Ill be cheering for you.

I talked to Dan and checked out the car this weekend. It's fresh and once the bugs are out it should be a great car.

Finished third in the Real Street Eliminator shoot out for the late models over the weekend. Tied for second but lost the horsepower tie breaker. I got first in the launch box and third in the autocross. This was the second time in my life I've autocross.

Also look for a feature on it in Car Craft. What an honor to be selected.

Remind me again which motor you have, an LS3? Or bigger?

Very cool car! I'd love to see more pictures of it. I saw the short autocross video that Jeff posted on Facebook the other day. I really like the 80's Monte body. It's great to see them finally coming of age.
