What did U do to your G-body today??

[Bar50]

I am pretty sure that air dam front spoiler is off of SS El Camino's,not just your average El Co...

Looks great!


Drug home another orphan. Served the last portion of its life as a street/grudge race car, blue, little rough around the edges, cage, was a 1/4 vinyl top car, cowl hood, Centerline warriors, stock suspension no tubs. Pics tomorrow when I get home, unloaded her in the dark last night....

Just started to get my new Camaro buckets mounted in the El Camino...it doesn't look to be that hard

Jess

what year car did they come from if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Doober]

Judging from the plastic on the sides I would guess 4th gen ('93+).

I took a wire wheel to the front/rear sway bars and jounce bars/GP bar. Tomorrow they should have primer and maybe paint. Also started sorting through the stuff on the 2nd floor of the pole barn, that's where most of the interior stuff is.

Put the shifter in, new Hurst Pit Pack (steel bushings instead of the crummy plastic ones).

 

[bigbadbu]

got coolant in it, trans mount, got the electric fan mounted and now for the wiring of all the gauges, should i just wire them to the idiot lights? can I?

 

[Doober]

Idiot lights use pressure/temperautre switches, so if you really wanted you could probably tee off the pressure fitting and use one of the fittings in the intake for the temperature switch.

Starting to plan out my electric fan install. Have all the parts I think. Fans, wiring kit with two relays and temp switch, Olds radiator top plate. Just have to figure out where I'm pulling keyed power from then do it.

 

[Doober]

I used the fuse for the gauges, then if they didn't work I knew the fans wouldn't be working. What fans/wiring kit did you use? I think I'm going back to electric eventually, I like the look a lot more than a clutch fan, and the difference in power one way or the other (alternator HP or clutch fan HP) doesn't really bother me, I figure they're close to the same.

It wasn't really today, but I sold the aluminum wheels I used to run on the '81, the entire '81 header panel, the upper shroud from the '81 (never had a bottom shroud), and the '81 taillights, all within 3 days. I still have a 115mph speedo SS cluster (with an extra tach if I can find it laying around), a radio delete plate and a lay-flat hood ornament, looks like this, but lays flat on the header panel:

Finally got the floors primed now i can start the frame

OH... I put the heater box on finally, got a box of 3M strip caulk from CarQuest, $25 :roll: Upside is I can use it to temporarily plug a few small holes until I get it out to AZ. I also put the center portion of the ductwork in, I think I have some missing small parts :x
