My new toy

wade w · 05-28-2009, 07:33 PM

This is what I really want. I like my truck and all but its just not me. This on the other hand is. Lots of stuff to do to it, but nothing really big. It doesnt have a motor or trans, but I have a sbc400, some vortec heads and a th350 trans waiting for a home. Cant wait to get started on it.

It has a 4 point cage you can see at the back. It has new door panels, and the factory buckets have just been recovered. It has a factory ceter console to.

I do like that the cage comes though under the window. The panel that goes over the hole is missing but they make repops and they dont cost to much.

Not to crazy about this hole, but it can be patched. There was a fuel cell there.

El Caminos are always cool, nice find Wade

wade w · 05-28-2009, 09:32 PM

Thanks. Ive had two others. I really wish I would have kept the first one, but I was a stupid kid. It was a real SS car with a 402. It was a litte rough, but ran a drove good. The 2nd one was a pile.

Pesce Nero · 05-28-2009, 10:01 PM

Ive been throwing around the idea of a turbo inline6. Something different. The 400 will go in for now, but just for now.

Congrats- that's a cool project.

Nice car Wade!

jmd · 05-29-2009, 07:03 AM

nice.

Silver-Dollar · 05-29-2009, 09:37 AM

Turbo powered third gen 5.3 or 6.0 would do nicely in there. Complete 5.3 can be had for 600 or less.

Richard Head · 05-29-2009, 03:52 PM

Cool!
