   This is what I started with  in 1997         I would say it needs a quarter or 2

    my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino     my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino 

    This quarter was the best part                The floors have seen better days

    my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino     my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino

   The one wheel house needed work      The bed has a few dents to fix

    my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino     my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino

  This is a new quarter fit with a door   The other new quarter fit with a door

    my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino     my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino  I say new bed floors but have to wait    The tailgate needs a little TLC

    This was spring of 2000                              Now its time to dig deep

   These are the new floor pans               This is the front of the new floor pans

    my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino     my71elcamino's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino

   Painted the firewall and frame          A Small block 400 with a 350 trans.

  The motor is going together just fine      Its all together and ready to run
