My name is Neil and I own a 1970 El Camino. I am 19 years old and attend West Virginia University with a Political Science/Pre-Law Major. I got my El Camino in November of 2007 and it has been my pride and joy! I busted my butt for this truck. It originally had a two barrel carb and intake:
So my first upgrade was a Edlebrock 600 cfm carb and Edlebrock intake:
I put the car in several car shows, adding a tonneau cover and rear air shocks:
My first trophey:
I had new interior, with new leather seats, new headliner, and new carpet.
This car has been great and I drove it my entire senior year to school and it ran great but during my Christmas break away from college I put a .470 inch lift cam, by Comp Cams and as soon as I was tunning it, I dropped a metal rod in the spark plug hole (dumb careless mistake):
So I decided to do a complete body off frame restoration and it just started on my Spring break and here is my progress:
Here is the only bad thing with the frame, that I have to weld:
Heres the engine still on the frame:
Here are my speakers that I put into my kick panel:
Here are my tires:
Here's my bench seat:
This is where she'll be sitting until I come back from school and start working at AutoZone again :)
*note that she is covered, this picture was right before I cleaned my mess us! I will also be adding pictures when I start to restore it. I plan on sandblasting first, what a job that will be!
