Projects Big daddy's 1960 El Camino

Bad assery takes time weedhopper! (And a lot of money!)

 

Years is my gauge. Love those El Cams. One of my bucket cars.

 

It took some time, but i believe i have enough stuff accumulated to get this bitch going. This is where i throw a shout out to the guy that bought my 57, thanks to his generosity, this is all possible gotta go get engine mounts tmrw, and a starter, but i believe it's time to stick the 283 in it. More to come....

 

I gotta get those pedals out for you one of these day…

 

Didn't do much to the car today. The hood hinges showed up. Also ordered a used hood latch from a 59 impala, surprise! Doesn't work. My fault. $100 down the drain. I did put my aluminum oil pan on.

 

Lookin' good Brother!!! I'm diggin' the valvecover decal's!!!

 

Representing thought about ordering some fancy ass aluminum covers, but then i thought I'm just going with what was laying here, and fancy them up with some HAMB stickers

 

Simple, classy, and inexpensive. The perfect combination!

 

The air cleaner is just sitting there, it's not staying, actually goes to the blazer I'm building. I'm thinking about a velocity stack.

 

Lookin good , Brother . Get her eatin and drive it like you stole it !

 

Hope you have better luck with your oil pan not leaking than I did. Had one those Cal Custom pans decades ago that was one leaking SOB. Finally gave up and put a stock oil pan back on.

 

If you don’t have a velocity stack already, I’ll send one your way.

 

Damn right DRD waiting on some motor mounts to come up the driveway

 

Yeah I hope so too lol, this one will be fine because it's the rare one from the Taiwan speed shop. Bangkok rod supply was out. My stock pan had a rust hole in it about 3" long. Thought about patching it, looked around here for a good one, but one call does it all. If it leaks I'll fix it or pour more oil in it.

 

Thinking on it still lol, not sure what i want to run. I'm acting like my wife

 

Introducing my straight axle El Camino, steering isn't right, but it'll work moving it around here until i order a heim joint. I love it, it's exactly what i envisioned I'll put the 283 in it tomorrow. Overlook my rollers, not all of us can afford halibrands

 

Go, man go!

 

You're Fuckin' Killin' it Man!!! Bad Ass as Hell!!!

 

Holy crap Lloyd, you ain't messin' around

 

Ain't no moss growing on his butt!

 

Lotsa fun.

 

Rolled that big bitch outside, yeah the wheels are off topic but give me time.

 

Maybe you could do one of those gangfund things to raise $ for wheels.
There's enough low '60 Els around. Thrilling to see one jacked up!
Some 5.13 gears, and weight plates bolted in at the the rear. HAMBer @Dustyp489 did this back in the day. It could be a wheelie machine!

 

I believe it's @Lloyd's paint & glass and @427 sleeper birthdays today
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS
If you see either of these guys today, give them a BIG KISS (although Lloyd's "Porn Star Mustache" my tickle).

 

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Jack! You guy's can keep the kisses, but if you feel like sending a cold Old Style or 12 my way, that would be Friggin' AWESOME!!!

 

Happy Birthday Lloyd!!! May your Pornstache never turn gray!!!

 

Rumor has it, that Lloyd is heading your way for that Birthday Kiss

 

Oh Shit!!! Time to go back into Witness Protection!!! LOL!!!

 

Happy Birthday Lloyd! Good thing your a fire fighter, there is gonna be flames! HRP

 

Oh you know you wanna kiss! Happy Birthday Mr Jed
