So the last time I updated this site was Nov '06.  A lot has happened since then.  The elky made a trip on a trailer up here to MD about a year later and languished in a few garages untill last summer.  I dug it out of the mothballs and began piecing it back together.  I have put a pictoral below to show all the changes.  I'll come back later and add descriptions for these...lol

So here we are back at it again.  I'll keep posting some more stuff as I try to sort this thing out again and maybe get it to the track once before we move to Alaska.

GREAT car. I also like the fact that YOU are doing all the work urself. I have an 86 elky I bought a few mnts ago. Allthough I am not a mechanic, I am determined to do the work my self and learn as I go along. So far I am doing OK. I look foward to seeing more pics.

Great Camino, but arn't 383s built from 350s with a 400 crank or were 327 blocks the same as 350 blocks.

Nice car. You should check out my S14 240 and tell me what you think.

That looks like a wicked project! It's cool that you're doing all the work yourself- it's kind of dissapointing when people buy an old car then pay someone else to fix it up :P Keep up the great work and hit up my guestbook when you get some new info, and good luck with it!
