I am actually in the market for an El Camino, since my last deal fell through. I already bought one longroof (a van for my wife I know, flame suit on).
If you see a good Camino in central California give me a shout. T.J.

I see that lately the list creator has worked his way back to the list, welcome back Mitch. I have only been a member for a year or so, but thought I would say a few words. Today was my most productive day on the Chevelle in years. I pulled the right front fender, headlight assy, inner fender (which is trashed), battery tray, battery, full factory A/C system (sans compressor which came off the engine 10 years ago). I also got the remaining 20% of the interior stripped the only thing left is a drivers seat, steering wheel, and dash. I also sanded all the crud off the right rear quarter and discovered the rest of the carnage. A little history the right rear quarter was slapped back together and repainted sometime in the very early 80s when my family acquired the car. I have a weld going from the upper corner of the rear window, back towards the rear of the car about 14, and then straight down to the wheel opening. Add about ¾ of bondo, and you have crappy, early 80s, buy a wreck and flip it kind of body work. Thanks to Goodmark, I have a date with a good body man to get the right rear quarter replaced in a few weeks hence my newfound time to spend on the car. I actually surprised myself a bit. I am fairly mechanically inclined but have never really worked on cars before besides the occasional fuel pump and I dabbled in auto electronics in a past life. I have some newfound confidence to fab in an LS2/T56 combo this summer (what the hell am I thinking), and tear into the chassis when the body is on the rotisserie next winter. Wish me luck. If I had a website, I would love to show you what the front of my house looked like a few hours ago. Under all the car parts and rust was a pad of concrete somewhere. T.J.
