  1. PM me your address and I will get it out to you.
  2. I have the 396 from the 68 El Camino I will not be using.
  3. Its winding down again for this year,I have two projects I want to get done before I go to the garage full time and will keep at least two for those rainy spring and summer days.
  4. I painted it the same color as the 34 Ford I am working on,its going to keep the SS hood until I can find out if the regular hood is still being made.
  5. I wanted a dark blue but could not find any I liked so it got rootbeer brown,I also did not like the 34 wire wheels so its getting 53 p/u rims.
  6. Sanded the vinyl top and SS badge on the tailgate off and hoping the stock hood is still available,would like to put a six under the hood but will get a small block and will make it look like a 307 2 bbl motor.
  7. I kind of forgotten about the El camino and drug it out to start of the restoration/conversion to base model.
  8. I finally got it done last week.
  9. I tried to buy one that sat in a driveway since 71 but the weather took its toll on it,had only 17,000 original miles and there was a garage that it could have went in but no it sat out.
  10. Working on taking a 68 El Camino SS and making it a base model if the non SS hood is still available so was or is there a GM A body kit made with a bench seat or will I have to get one from a B body.
  11. I have two of the OBS and would love to build one as a stock 37.
  12. The tires that came with it just looked too small in the rear.
  13. Yes I put larger tires on the rear,I put big and littles on everything.
  14. I have the 4wd Ramcharger with a broken front axle that I would like to lower and make a 2wd so did Monogram actually make a 2wd Dodge p/u.
  15. It only took me over a year to finish it but its finally done,I was wanting to keep the six in it but I had fit issues with it so it got a 302. I think the six will be going in a 53 p/u.
  16. That six is just too tall so its going to get a 302,I had trouble with it fitting in the truck so it got a 302 too
  17. Was those headers in the original version only,I have never seen them before and have been building them since the early to mid 70s.
  18. I found a Rustoleum dark blue that I like and have sprayed it on a test body to see how it does.
  19. Going to rebuild it as a non police car with the six from the Mobieus F100 to make a base custom granny car,can not understand why this would have a boss 429 since they were never installed from the factory in the full size car. If I can not make the six fit without major modification I will find a 302 to put in it,never seen a six in a 69 or 70 but seen them in 68s.
  20. Found enough parts to build a sedan and coupe with plenty of extra parts,they will probably be next winters projects since I should be out in the garage soon and have a couple to finish.
  21. After getting the 34 p/u wheels off ebay I picked up a parts kit for the front axle.
  22. The 37 axle will not work,the spring is in front of the axle where the 32 to 34 it will be on top. I have one that I am trying to make work.
  23. 34 used wire wheels but AMTs are questionable so I am going to use 40 rims and hubcaps since I have plenty and like them much better,not really going to have everything stock but will have period upgrades.
  24. Motor is in the chassis.
  25. I like that blue and who made it.
