1970 Elcamino build!

Hi Derek
The plan for the car has been to build a everyday driver that would be dependable and make 500 to the tires. I bought a 5.3 truck motor freshened it up and left it stock, I got a 2002 Camaro 6speed with a little internal upgrade from my son.
then I started looking for suspension for the car. Chris Jacobs was updating there chevelle and was selling the Global West suspension parts with the ATS spindles , so I jumped on them!
Csouth was going to sell the moser 9” and I was lucky enough to get it. Now I felt like I had a good start on the build but the HP I was looking for wasn’t going to be nowhere near what I was wanting so , My son has been building a few LS turbo mustang cars and gave me the turbo for Christmas 😊 now if I can get anywhere close to the 500 to the tire i will be happy. The floors in the car and the smugglers box area were pretty rusty and I was going raise the motor and transmission about a inch to make the f body pan work plus add bracing to the frame to make the car more ridge. The other thing I wanted was to make the body and frame become one so I removed the body mount bushings and start fitting the two together to see what needed to be modified for a good fit. I have had them apart and together several times now and the next time they go together it will be bolted and welded permanently.
hope this helps with question you had!
