All too often on here I see people spending oodles of money on stuff most of us know dang well will never get used as it's intended. Buying lightweight race wheels for a street car that will never be on a track --- kinda never made much sense to me.... Kinda reminds me of where I live in Bellevue --- watching these giant jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks with every off road attachment they can buy -- to park at the mall.... I understand the "look" --- just don't understand not actually using what it is you wasted the money on. But that's just me I guess.
Love your El Camino.... always have liked those (had a '69 396 SS back about 1972).... it was useless and I loved it. HAHAHAHAHA

That is why I like the Billet Specialties , they are a good balance between the Forgelines I like and how the car will actually be used . My plan if I purchase the Billet Specialties is to have the centers powdercoated a gunmetal gray . I also plan to upgrade the suspension and brakes over time . My biggest struggle right now is the budget as I have 1 Daughter in college and another who will be starting just about the time she finishes . I am able to squirrel away a couple hundred bucks a month so it will probably take me a year and a half to save up for my suspension and almost another year for the brakes let alone the LS swap , body work , paint , etc.
My second biggest struggle is my patience .... LOL
