    New Project

     



    Well my youngest boy turned 16 in December, got his license 8 days later. Since then he has been looking for a car. I can't even tell ya how many he's looked at, but he's taking his time looking for the "right" one.....

    He found something likes, a '67 El Camino, 327/th350.....Oh boy, another project....

    I'm very proud of him, he was very patient in his search. He passed up several cars that I would have bought if I had room. He wanted something he could drive while he learned and was worth putting some money into. He did well.

    That is a great find.
    A good friend of mine has one down in aqua-marine.
    He did a retro velor interior in a similar color to the paint.

    I think your son will be very happy.

    I love the Camino's. Had a friend that has a 65. Man that thing was fast....hooked up real nice. I believe he had concrete in the end gate.

    Nice find.
