So...Watcha think?
 

Well I found the El Camino for our project. It's a 72, pretty rough, straight 6. But to a 15 year old it's pretty cool (and I kinda like it too).
It's gonna get a full frame off and a fresh small block.
Awww......the things we do:D

That is a great start, and a Shweet garage:D

Gotta thing for red GM products, don't ya?:cool:

Nice project Billybob what eles are ya gonna do to her?Hmmmmmm how about a nice custom paint job,maybe drop it?Heck how about some Hydrolics an on board air compressor & some mean mudders then top it off with a nice bed mounted rod rack w/ cooler and now you can that it on the beach:hihi:

Man eight feet of bed you sure could put a killer speaker box back there. Stright 6 would it be the 250 man I had one of those in my first car just make sure it had gas oil and some coolent iand it would run forever I think it had 175,000 miles when i got rid of it. kid wanted it for a parts car. THomT

That's the sellers garage:( , pretty sweet. I'm still trying to get a trailer to haul it home.
We're gonna lift the body off the frame, have to weld in some floors and do over the bed,inner wheel wells - the usual stuff. No beach buggy here (we don't have beaches in Ct).Someone bolted a Muncie 4 speed behind the 6 :cool: probably put discs up front, a small block, headers, exhaust, and then spray it. We have about a year and a half before he's driving, it'll be fun.

cowl induction hood! makes 'em look mean. and you've just got to get rid of the one-wheel squeal! good luck and have a ball. oh yeah one more thing, if your son decides he'd rather have an automatic, i've got a big block 56 bel-air sedan that would love that 4 speed.:drool: ha ha

Figured I'd throw in an update.
