Very cool El Camino. That's the way they should have made them. My gf says we have one just like it running around northern Maine. I haven't seen it. Your engine should be bad azz too.

I think they put one of the valve covers on wrong...

The El Camino and the engine both look like a lot of fun. Congratulations.

Sweet rig! That 383 should bring it to life.

Pretty much the perfect vehicle for Maine (north of, lets say, Bangor) - I have seen a couple at car shows in the Bangor area built like this and a few sitting in dooryards.
