El Camino 71

[Macbuick]

I started an El Camino thread to clear my Skylark thread (so if you already saw these pics, that's normal). I will next update here in place than in my previous post.

I wanted a running car while the Buick is under construction, so i bought this Elky with some work.



it needs a paint (of course) some welding on the rear window area, new ball joints and some cosmetic job on the interior.

I tried the 18" wheels and some photoshop to lower it so much.
I think i will have to use dropped spindles, tomorrow i'm gonna measure the distance it needs to be lowered.



it's a 71 from California (even with the rust!), V8, auto, no airco, power brakes and steering, front discs. It was originally metallic light green and i hesitate to paint it that way or white as it is now...



here is what has already be done...
