If it was junk, why is it hanging on the garage wall in the last picture? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif Looking great Bill!

Good eye Jason. I forgot it was still there. Maybe I will make a frame/display, and hang it on the wall as a reminder of just what I started with last fall.

It's alive!! Got that solid lifter big block fired last week. Had a problem with trans noise. Had to pull it out, and send it back to the trans builder. Problem solved. The trans is back behind the engine, and sounds fine. The car is basically finished. Still needs some tuning, and the side stripe. I'm hoping to get them done this week.
Over all, the project was about what I expected. I finished it up a few months ahead of schedule. I was shooting for May. Thanks for all the support throughout the year. I'm gonna take a break for a few months, and relax.

Re: New project coming along
 

I showed my wife pictures of the El Camino and told her that was the same car that we had in the garage a few years ago. Her only response was that I would have never been able to restore the car as nice as what you did Bill.
I thought the car was gone forever after what I saw the person that ended up with this car and all the parts did to it. You have no idea how thankful I am that you and Albert put up with his games to get this car. I do not know of another person that has the vision and ability to do better than what you did.
Bill take a break but please find another project soon because I really look forward to all your posts.

Re: New project coming along
 

Thanks once again for all the positive feedback.
One more quick update. Yet another late night in the shop working on the SS side stripes. I laid them out using masking tape as a guide, then went for it. The stripes really complete the body in my opinion. I did screw up one of the door stripes, but no big deal fixing it. In the end, I was real happy with the stripes.
