New project coming along

[Bill Rose]

Another ElCamino update: Well I'm down to a few odds and ends. All having to do with sloooooooow chrome shops. Bumpers, bed moldings, vent glass frames, all holding up the final steps. The radiator will be in Thursday. Should be able to light it up after that. Here's a few more shots, until it's completely finished.

Bill,

Love it!
Is the steering wheel an original piece or re-pop?

Dan.

[Bill Rose]

Thanks for all the feedback over the past year. It's been a fun, and fairly simple project. Not much more to get pictures of for a while, except one more piece of the puzzle that arrived today.

Yes Dan, repro dash and wheel. Both are nice pieces. The original wheel was junk, not restorable. Somewhere down the road I'll get an original, and restore it though,

If it was junk, why is it hanging on the garage wall in the last picture? Looking great Bill!

[Bill Rose]

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.
