Well, this will be a project, going to hang new doors, fenders, quarters and floors. I am going to change it to a 327 4 spd car and improve the suspension. Hey , at least the hard to find SD stuff is there and decent.

Lookin' good. I love the colour combo!
I would think that you are going to do a frame-off, as it needs a frame or frame repairs also Kelvin?

Yes, I have a frame already. I bought the rolling chassis from West Coast Customs that came out of Rusty Wallaces 66 Elky build they did on the show. It still has the exhaust, front disc brakes and rear end still in it to, will shorten it the required 3" and be ready to swap it.

Cool. Should be a beautiful car when done!
Is an El Camino frame boxed like a convertible's?

Cool, looks better full size. Here is a pic of my dads 327 4 speed Beaumont he sold in 75 for 500.00.
$500.00... Unbeleivable huh? Clean look with the wheel covers. Are those oversized back tires?...

Good stuff Kevin! Post some pictures of your frame swap. It will be nice when done.

Started removing the interior to get ready for the frame swap and found that the floors aren't terrible but I will order a 1 piece floor with braces. This should save some time and make a better finished project.
Great to see you are enjoying a glass of wine while working on it-LOL!
Rust remover.
