Here is my car: 1960 El Camino. Bought in april 2004. It is one of the last in France : there is less than five '60 models.
I want mine to be the top one, because it worth it.

You will find here the different steps of the restoration process, from start to end. Just follow the evolution of the car page by page.
Have a seat and relax, here is the story of the '60 Elky...
I started a complete frame off restoration in march 2005 : all bushings and seals have been be replaced, body and chassis sand blasted, interior completly changed with new carpet and door panels, and a fresh new flashy paint. Engine/tranny have been rebuilt too, but it won't be a strip machine. 200HP will be good enough. The Camino has a SBC 305. She originaly came with a 283. I replaced the powerglide with a TH350 to have more driving comfort.
Pictures when I bought the car:
