On a different note, we got the El Camino back in shape. I'm still trying to convince him to pro tour it.

Nice job, I like the color!! Who's rear suspension are you using? Also what rear caliper brackets are those? They look like they are welded to the axel tubes?

Thanks Rick. The rear is of my own design so to speak. I had a lot of help from many members. Used Air Ride TQs. Made my own air over hydraulic tubing bender and started bending. Caliper brackets are my design. Laid out on poster board and cut out of 3/8" plate. Yeah....I'm an off road guy. Lol. Yes. Welded. The trick was getting the calipers centered back on the rotor after welding. A couple whacks with a 5 lb sledge. Centered perfect. Checked toe and camber. Everything checked good.

I like the progress. Make sure you run axle seals in that thing...and they will still leak a little.

Thanks Payton. I believe I read somewhere that Moser has improved the design of the seals. Man those buggers are a pita to get in without damaging the first o-ring. But I got them. I opted for normal high temp disc brake wheel bearing grease. I read to stay away from the tacky synthetic grease because it wouldn't stay in the bearing. Oh....and thanks for your help Payton.
