Thanks! Unfortunately it's engineless at the moment so it's just an awesome dust collector!

[elrod67]

Engineless? Goin with something new or something break on the engine?

Looking great. What are your plans for the bed? Also, in early pics looked like you had a tonneau cover. Any better pics and details on that?

im doing a bed liner in it gotta talk to my buddy that's gonna spray the bed and decide if I wanna just do the basic black liner or color matched bedliner. and yes it used to have a tonneau cover on it but it was very old and started sagging in the middle and at one point the car broke down on me and where it happened at the only way to get it on trailer was to load it up backwards on my trailer and it blew up and destroyed the mounts. idk how old it was but the first time I ever saw this car I was 8 years old and it was on it then im now 26. opgi now sells new covers but I think im gonna leave it off kinda like it better without

my painter started color sanding and buffing the body. still has to paint the hood fenders valances and dash but got the doors on and lined up and hopefully get the body back to the house and start putting it back together. heres a few pics of what it looks like so far. we also decided to blackout the factory tail lights and then put the chrome trim back on them just a small subtle touch. soon as I get the car back im gonna take the car and get the bed sprayed in bed liner (that's why the bed is still primer)

[elrod67]

got the windows in and window tint done today and the bedliner sprayed a few days ago!




also a pic of the rear with the blacked out factory tail lights and the trim back on tailgate with matte black insert

Sorry for the late reply, I just saw this! I hurt the engine at the Motor State Challenge last year. Since I had to pull it and go through it, I decided to put it in my C10 that I'm currently building. Once that's done, either another 454 will go in the El or a LS. I haven't made my final decision yet.

Looks Good! I've always loved El Caminos and have owned 5 of them

[85coupe50]

That is a good looking El Camino. Nice color choice as well.

[AimlessMoto]

Great job so far!

[Stained Soul]

Looking awesome.
I obviously (in my signature) own a 66 Malibu, but for El Camino's I love the 67 & 70.
Keep up the good work.
