Projects Big daddy's 1960 El Camino

Those are beautiful!!!!!

 

I posted the other day that my car shit out on me on the way home from Winchester Ky. The car was running great down the interstate and died at the stop sign when I got off the exit. Just thought I'd update and proclaim the winner is @lumpy 63 , I sent him a text and his exact words were "something is in the needle and seat". Day after this happened I walked out and hit the key, car fired right up. I threw my hands in the air and said a few words. The issue was that the car would start when you held it to the floor, but it wouldn't idle. Today I went to tackle the ignition system, I started the car, and in about 15 seconds it started stumbling and died. I said hell with it and pulled the plug on the front bowl, gas about knocked me down. So I pulled the needle and seat, sure as shit, just like he said, there was a piece of something stuck in it. Took it in the shop and blew it out, put it back in, reset the float height, and back to normal thanks lumpy, you da man!

 

If your Elco was a spray gun where would you look?

 

I guess that depends on if my paint gun had an electronic ignition lmao!!!

 

your compressor is electric, and you don't look at it when the gun gets plugged up

 

Shoot, and some people say I'm just a pretty face

 

I’ve never heard that about you, interesting

 

Well that depends on if everybody told me to check my compressor first. 15 people telling me it's my compressor might be worth checking

 

Just leave this right here with my proper wheels

 

bout time

 

The shit i go through to fit in

 

Where's the 454?

 

Crank is in the garage, block is at the machine shop, and the heads are at Jamie's house. Here and there I guess you could say not gonna get into that until snow flies

 

Fit in, Hell. You're supposed to stand out .

 

Hi Lloyd.The stories of your daily life on the H.A.M.B remind me of the old silent movies.
To wit:"The Periles of Pauline". IIRC,those were a Mack Sennit production.
You're way too young to remember those,so fire up your favorite search engine and type in the title.
Have a good giggle.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

What happened to the red rims ???

Another car forum I was on used to have a secret "redrims" group of individuals, you could insert certain images hidden behind the word "redrims" that would be highlighted in red, just never knew what you were going to see when you clicked on it. LOL

 

Next time you come through Missouri don't miss.

 

^^^^^There is a lot to unpack in that photo. What with the Saturn 5 launch vehicle turned RV? And the presence of the Weinermobile in Uranus...?

 

Don’t want hear anything about how the wienermobile ended up in Uranus

 

Pretty sure most of us would be fired within hours if our job was to drive the wienermobile. I’m sure the photo ops are endless for that deal.

 

Pretty sure it started with a stop at the liquor store.

 

Most good things do

 

Uranus isn't in KY is it?

 

NO! It is in Missouri! I go past the "Fudge Factory" all the time on my way to Texas & points west! LMAO!!!

God Bless

Yep...can't miss it on I-44 in Missouri.

 

@Lloyd's paint & glass has really got to start a thread on the new truck. The boys are talkin' weenies again!

 

Do you really think that will make any difference? This is the HAMB and it is acting a lot like the winter outside, you know.

 

Did he sell the el'co

 

Yes it's gone.

 

Must of been those era correct wheels he put on it, drove him over the edge lol
