Some of you may be wondering what happened to me...
« on: October 20, 2009, 01:33:50 PM »
Since with broken bones, crazy women and the lot of life going on I was always posting progress on some of my projects. I have been working on them but this thing has taken a ton of my time. It took me 2 years to complete but it's done with the exception of the rear center caps I am wainting on. It's my Aunt and Uncle's 82 El Camino. I restored it for them as a gift... I'll upload before pix later but here it is today. Can't wait to get focused back on my 74.....

It's a tough decision to paint a vehicle a dark color after any amount of body work, but, man, that thing is sweet and done correctly.  Well Done!

Absolutely georgeous. I have a soft spot for Elkys. I have an 85, and my baby a 68 Elcamino on the project sheet. That is an awesome Elky. I may have some questions for you about the front and rear facias. Awesome, I just cant say it enough.

Thanks everyone! Yeah I like the tucked bumper look. I also smoothed the tailgate and put the license plate in the roll pan. The plate is usually in the gate on these. I just got the rear center caps on and just have to give it one final detail and off she goes. My 74 is getting jealous big time!

Is the rear a fiberglass rollpan?
