[Chevelle-list] Superbowl Saturday - Good Day For The Chevelle
Folks- I lurk a lot just because I am busy as hell most of the time. 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.

Hi T.J., What year is your Chevelle? It sounds like you've got quite a project rolling, good luck and have fun while you're at it! Maybe one of the guys on the list will be interested in posting some of your pics so we can all watch your progress.

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).

Re: [Chevelle-list] Superbowl Saturday - Good Day For The Chevelle
Depends on the car. Since I would more then likely need to pull some cash out of the Chevelle fund, I want to keep it to less than $5K for now. I am not looking for a great car - just a good solid body I can put together later on. Perfect car? 1964 El Camino - no rust, no engine, no transmission, no special options, lots of potential. Dashboard would need to be complete and in decent shape - but I already have a seat, and panels and carpet are easy to come by. I have a decent 350/TH350 combo from my Chevelle that will be looking for a new home this summer after my LS2/T56 swap. I am thinking toss the engine/tranny in the Camino for a quick parts truck. Save major work for later on when the Chevelle is streetable. You may remember the story about the 1970 El Camino, original owner, low miles that I scrounged up. Guy wanted around $1000 for it. Well, needless to say it was not the car it was supposed to be. Through a series of miscommunications, what I found was a 1985 El Camino SS, 100% original and 100% in need of work. Could be a good project for someone that wants it. Guy still wants $1000 for it. Any takers? His fathers 1970 all original survivor went in the estate sale, and he acquired the 1985 a few years later on in trade for some legal work. DAMN!!! T.J.
