After 4 long months, work on the El Camino has resumed.

Results from Poll #1: 80% of you said to paint it black, get some 18" Chrome Vintage Wheels, and keep all original chrome.
20% of you said to paint it a different color, get some 19" or 20" 2004 Chrome Wheels, and remove all chrome for a clean look. Thanks to your voting i have come to my decision and i am gettin some Custom Made 18" American Racing Torq Thrust 2's. Be sure to place a vote on my new poll!

GO TO PAGE TWO!!!

This page (page 1) is where i'll showcase the final pics of my car, along with a list of all of the mods i have made and what i have bought for the car. Obviously, the car isn't done yet so there aren't any pics on this page yet. I hope to be finished by Winter but that would really be pushing it. PAGE 2 is where you can go to stay updated on the restoration of this baby. Thanks
