1970 Elcamino build!

[David Sloan]

Some updates this morning to the smugglers box!

[David Sloan]

Worked on the exhaust from the turbo to the rear today. Trying to build it with some left over parts and a used 3” exhaust from a 2000 Camaro.

Very cool update with the rear mount turbo. Should be lots of fun making turbo noises.

Thank you sir!

Any thoughts of using the top of a truck box to cover the turbo for a stealthy look?

Yes sir.
The plan is to build a wall between the smugglers box and the bed , then i'm going to build a cover over the bed so it will not be seen.

Little more progress on the exhaust. Lol the struggle is real! Can you say built not bought/ recycling at it’s best. Trying to build this y section bought kicked my but. I had a old exhaust system from a 4th gen Camaro and some leftover 3” tubing from my Camaro build. This is what I got so far.

So I have gone as far as I can until the 2.5” and 3” stainless tubing come in. I decided to work on the floor and tunnel today. Most everything is screwed together so I can remove when the tubing comes in to finish the turbo cold side.

[David Sloan]

One more picture for today! Work on the tunnel step down.

Getting the gas pedal location figured out, I needed to mock up the seat and steering column again to make sure it all feels good together.

I heard Aaron Lewis the first time and he is NOT the only one !
You Americans have brought us the freedom in Europe years ago,
and now a lot of stupid people want to take this away from us, the normal people. They want to make us poor and quiet...
Unfortunately you have now the same problem like we overhere...

Thank you very much for this songwriter !

So this morning before I got started on the floors and tunnel I did a quick mock up of the parking brake calipers. I marked the Rearend housing so I can clean the old powder coat off to weld the mounting brackets the next time I pull the rear end.
