Project 72 Elco

[72elco]

Hey Guys

Well a guaranteed 3 month paint job turned into 10 long months and alot of excuses. Why is it body shops are so flaky? Not the first person in my family to go through this heartache. Anyways, after the long wait she is finally home covered in over spray and 10 months of shop dust. With the help of Ben Hermance I had a custom "ram air" style hood made from steel.

I am contemplating a painless wiring kit. Everything works fine now, but adding power windows possibly locks, center console etc, I am thinking it might be a good idea. I know now is the time to do it, but seems like a lot of work for something that works fine now...thoughts? experiences?

Already noticing some of the bed parts ordered from OPIG dont fit well and some are flat out different from the originals.

For now, 4 wheel disc, possibly the wiring and starting to put the interior back together is on the top of the list.
