Projects Big daddy's 1960 El Camino

I had a '49 Chevy pickup with a rear tank and a filler cap in the fender. It would do OK on the slowest step on the pump nozzle. My Henry J does alright. It just has a short, 45* hose between the tank and cap.

Yeah an above ground, poor people pool lol.

 

That's a nice pool. !!!! Lippy

 

Party pad lol

 

equally spoiled by wife AND pool-lucky guy!

 

My 454 Elky and 850 on a hard pass used to sick the sides of the tank in. I drilled a 3/16 hole in the gas cap in 2 places no more problems.

 

With everything that's going on in that picture, and you're looking at the pool!!!
LMAO

 

I ain't gonna lie, I drilled an 1/8" hole in the bottom of the pipe, just below the gas cap lol

 

That's a picture of her truck! What the fuck Jed? You telling me that you don't see her 50 Chevy? ever heard that song "these are a few of my favorite things"? Lmao!

 

Much better without the big hole

 

I cant believe you didnt want a lumpy- scotty one off custom emblem

 

We even coulda made it light up at night....

 

I liked it the other way better...

 

If you're going to make these custom touches it needs to be shiny when you finish the build!

 

To be honest, I was a little scared just thinking about it lol

 

It's gonna end up the original color eventually. At least that's the plan for now. She ordered material to redo the seat, gonna do away with the white and go with black bolsters. And make black door panels. I need to buy carpet also. Funny thing is, the car has "modified" 66 chevelle floor pans, so I don't know what car to buy the carpet for lmao!

 

Am I the only half ass hack on here? Let me ask you this, if your car has a hood that should be thrown away, but there's not a replacement around, let alone that you can afford, what would you do???

 

What's this half ass hack crap you are talking about?

 

Little filler and it'll be a secret lol

 

Looks good to me! At least you are a professional hack, I’m a backyard, amateur hack!

 

I found a decent looking hood for $500, about 6 hours away.... nah lol

 

I sold the hood off the 61 I had for $300 Canadian so thats approximately $8000 US!​

 

You could've brought it to me in October damnit! I would've made it fit lol

 

Hack would be chicken wire and newspaper with a generous helping of bondo.....Duh

 

I ran out of chicken wire!

 

Could of been high class hack and used fiberglass.

 

I once pulled the carpet out of a 69 Camaro Indy pace car a guy paid big bucks for. It had road signs glassed to the floor with a ton of undercoating on the bottom

 

That's just plain craziness! I would've used pop rivets!

 

I had a perfect '60 hood laying out in the horse pasture when they weren't worth anything. By the time guys wanted them the horse had smashed it flat.
