Projects Big daddy's 1960 El Camino

Moved to a different staging area lol. Love the big & littles. Can't wait to run this thing in the shop.

 

Have you tried The El Camino store??

 

Man I've spent hours on Google looking for patches, but don't know if i saw an el camino store?

 

was bought up by Ecklers

 

Lol yeah i just looked it up and it took me to Eckler's

 

I've come to the conclusion that there are no quarter/patch panels anywhere on earth for this year El Camino. But i will persevere. Still rather have this car than any other car.

 

Picture a 6'4" tall, 300lb hairy man dancing and smiling, because i found some!! I'll make em work that's right, Big Daddy is happy

 

I’ve installed those on a 59.
Have fun

 

I'm ****ing tickled to death! Neither of you ****ers can bring me down

 

I meant to enjoy em.
Cuttin and weldin is almost as fun as he’n and she’n

 

Lmao! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally! I've pronounced 2 drug addicts dead today, one elderly woman, cut a young lady out of a wreck, and worked another wreck on the interstate. Bad day compared to most. Finished cleaning the firehouse and sat down at the supper table. Thought, I'll look again while i have down time, but this time i punched in 60 impala. Says these might need lengthened at the rear for a wagon, so hell yeah, PayPal sent, fingers crossed! I'm happy, not really charmed though

 

I know man I'm all about the fab work. I hate block sanding

 

I love that part.

 

I love getting panels in the mail. I've put $10,000 worth of stuff on an O/T 70 cuda AAR that hit a bridge in 75. I am officially on the down hill slide now. LOL Thank God for AMD.

 

I have an account with AMD but they don't have anything for my car none of my vendors do! Lol... but i guess that's part of the fun huh

 

It's too bad they don't make stuff for your car. Everything I have bought from them MOPAR wise is spot on perfect fit. Not cheap but exact fit. You'll be fine with the schott panels, Your a good bodyman you can fudge and make them work. We are stuck with what we can get anymore. I remember when there was OEM stuff and that's it. Now I'd kill and gladly pay for OEM. LOL.

 

Yeah AMD is cl*** act on everything I've gotten from them. No complaints there. Hopefully they pickup some of the el camino stuff

 

Hey ya Lloyd. Was gonna make my usual "fat hairy ***", or such comment, but after reading this post I gotta say you're one hell of a guy... Thanks for what you do. Much respect my friend, much respect!

 

Man they pay me pretty good, and somebody has to do it, right? That's what i keep telling myself lol. Had another death around 3am this morning. Bad day in Moco but I'm home now! 4 more years..... 4 more years....... 4 more years......

 

Just saw this ad on Marketplace.

Thanks man. Wonder if he has them for a 1960? I don't Facebook.

 

I don’t either, I just Marketplace. lol
He says he has thousands of panels from 1939 to 1964

 

Lmao! I forwarded that link to my buddy sitting here at work so i could see it

 

I have to say, that Elco is toooo cooool. Going to be a great car. Around here , just don't see them anymore.

 

Gonna have a straight axle, small block, and a 4 speed. That's about all I'm sure of at this point lol

 

Lloyd. If you have not bought those yet , check out www.millsupply.com They have the right one in stock and the if you order now they estimate the left one in two weeks, $143.43 each. This company has been around for ever . I got those exact same panels from them 30 years ago and put them on a 60 sedan delivery. The only difference was back in 1990 they where 75.00 lol The part numbers are 53- 60- 56Rh and 53-60-56 Lh Now quite goofing off and get back to work ya Slacker! lol Larry

 

YEA! This is going to be great. I am excited for you and the Elco. Will be watching this build for sure. Have fun and stay safe big guy.

 

Done bought em and they are supposed to be here this week.
