Picked up a new G-body last night. I think the El Camino budget took a hit over this.

Nice MCSS. So what are your plans for it because you know we can never just leave our cars alone? Any progress pics of the Elco? What's that in the grass behind the Monte, a future project?

It is very clean so for now it will stay close to the way it is. My first brand new car was a white 84 SS Monte Carlo, so this brings back good memories. I would love to go with the Watts Link and the same suspension and brake parts that are on the El Camino. My son has threatened me if I canibalize the El Camino he will get even. The body in the back is a first generation Monte Carlo project that got put on the back burner then sold. Some day I hope to build a nice 1st gen Monte Carlo.

Had Line-x spray the underside of the El Camino. It think it looks real nice. The guys at Line-x in Auburn, WA were great to work with.

Unfortunately we have had a lot of rain and my friends trailer left some deep ruts in my lawn. I'll take care of it in the spring.

I am also in Washington. And you'e right we have had a ton of rain recently.
Where about are you located?

The new Monte looks pretty nice. What are the plans for it?

I am in Spanaway/Frederickson. Some day I want to do a full suspension and LSx upgrade in much the same fashion as the El Camino. $$$ are running low for projects right now.

You live right down the road from my parents. The El Camino will be a really cool car when it's done. And the Monte looks great as it is for now. A keeper.
Good luck with both of them.
I'm in the area every now and then (live in Stanwood), maybe we will run into each other.
