Mr. Rose, your work is awesome, and your El Camino is ridiculously nice.

After getting home from the GM Nationals/Solid Lifter Showroom, I jumped right back in. I stuck the chassis back on the Nova. I also put all the brake and fuel lines on, that I picked up at the show.

I also got the sound deadener in.

I also picked these up from Paul in the Solid Lifter Showroom over the weekend. I blasted and primed them. Still deciding on a color, but yellow is probably the #1 choice.

Looking good. You've got great taste Bill, so whatever you choose will seem natural and correct. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

Lots of progress since getting back from the Maryland Chevelle Show. Got the exhaust manifolds back from alum skinning. I'll paint them tonight, and put them on the motor.

I also picked up a shinny new stainless steel gas tank at the show. It's a very nice piece from Ground-Up. It fit like the original.

Picked up the rear leaf springs at the Md show, disassembled, stripped and sanded, then painted and reassembled them, and bolted them to the rear.

Got the rear installed. It fought me a bit, but it all fell into place.

I just painted the manifolds, so I added a picture of them.

I also started bolting parts on the firewall, like all the new power brake parts, and w/s motor.

Anyone who may know, I'm looking for a pic of the bracket that holds the front to rear brake line, to the hose. I'm not sure what it looks like, or where it goes.
