Edelebrock SC&C suspension Globalwest Iceman OPGI Summit American Racing Falken tires 350 cid MSD K&N Billet Specialties Auburn Inland Empire Drivshafts. ride height 3.5" front 3.0 rear
Just A broad stroke of my two G-body projects that are still works in progress..
Well the el camino already has the SCAndC Stage ll kit up front with the aluminum arms and the lower arms are stock with the del-a-lum bushings.I have the SSBC rear disk brake kit still in the box. going in soon.Im waiting on Marcus's re worked rear sway bar for the g-bodies. As for the rear of the camino it has Iceman 2 way adjustable upper control arms with rod ends.The lowers are global west pieces with spherical frame side and del-a-lum axle side, the car/truck really handles good with this set up allthough I need to get new shocks for it.Seeing as its lowered 3.5" inches up front and 3" out back I will be going with the Hotchkis/Stiens up front and the re worked varishocks From SC&C which are 3" shorter fully extended out back.As far as it sitting this low It rides surprisingly smooth on the street thanks once again to SC&C . The rear shocks do bottom out on ocasion thats what I get for using (gasp) Kyb's Allthough not completly knocking the kyb's, they wouldnt be to bad going on to my wagon which wont be nearly as aggresive The wheel set up I have now is American Racing TT 2's 16x7 w/225/45/16 Falken Ziex up front 4" B.S. And out back 17x8 w/275/40/17's.Im really happy with the wheel set up,no clearance issues so that's the way i'll keep it for now.Body mods will include fiberglass cowl hood and fiberglass tail gate.I dont know what I want to do with the moldings yet.The cammed and re headed 350 is enough as far as forword motion goes.Oh and yeah Im goung to go with a stainless or aluminum gas tank and maybe put the filler neck in th bed..
The wagon is going to be more of my daily driver with mild suspension mods.It can handle good it does'nt have to be great.And I'll get some paint and body work done to it,Im still debating on if I want to do the viynl wood grain set up for the sides and rear What do you guys think? I do plan on getting rid of the 15" rally wheels to make way for somthing that is polished and aluminum in the 16 to17" range,Im still shopping for those..

Hey, I really like both of your rides. I have an '80 Wagon I'm workin' on, so... naturally I'm drawn to your wagon. Nice rides, and check mine out if you can.
