The 1970 El Camino has gotten some of the G-machine items throw are we dropped the front end 3" and brought the rear down 1" https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/08/0193-1.jpg It has after market 4 wheel disc brakes front and rear sway bars from Hotchiks, the rear end has tubal control arms with the upper arms being adjustable and the side braces are adjustable.

The 1957 Nomad is more of a restormod as the interior has been changed over to something more comfortable dash is a littler easier to ready. It sports a vortec headed 355 putting out 390hp which is backed by a 700r4 trans and a 3.70 posi which spins the rear meats pretty easy. https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/08/carpics061-1.jpg the suspension is pretty much stock we just moved the rear leaf springs under the frame to allow for the 15x10" rim with 6" back spacing. It got 4 wheel disc brakes on it just need to add some sway bars to it to cut down on the body roll it has in the turns.

Now the Monte is more of a G-machine compare to the other it has 16" rally wheels been dropped a 1" lower then stock and has the low profile tires. It has front and rear stock sway bars and now body roll. It has kept most of the stock sheet metal with the hood being changed for a custom cowl induction hood https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2012/08/HPIM2326-1.jpg. The Monte and Nomad are both street cruisers and when the El Camino gets done it will join them on the street
