Up Dates

On this page I'd be adding the progress of the project along with the website's progress.

7/22/2008 Wow looks like I've been slacking on updating the site, lots of good things going on with the car this year, getting in to Hot Cars of Connecticut Magazine and Cruisin' New England Magazines show at Mohegan Sun in the Uncas Grand Ballroom.
11/3/2007 It's been a great first summer with the car done, went to over 10 shows and cruises. The car ran great, I put over 1300 miles on it with no problems. I'm hopping to take it out for one last rip before putting it away for the winter. Again thanks to everyone that helped me out along the way getting the car done! I've been going to shows since 1999 and this was my most rewarding year just diving the car.
7/25/2007 Went to Super Chevy Show in Maple Grove PA. Got Best Modified El Camino and Best El Camino over all (Stock, Street, Modified) All the years of work has paid off!
7/17/2007 After over 12 years the restoration is complete!
6/27/2007 Got the sound system and interior done see photos. Thanks Walt at A-1 Upholstery and Bruce and the gang at Sound One.
4/22/2007 I've had an exciting weekend. On Friday 4/20/07 the car finally started! Everything went well with the help of my long time friend Mike.
2/14/2007 Got the front end all set this past weekend, photos on page 13. Now I'm working on odds and ends now wile waiting to get my new radiator.
1/7/2007 Things are coming together quite well now. Got the exhaust done by Steve at Performance Plus More. He did an outstanding job. If you need any work done just drop me an email. I've gotten allot more done to the car, the nose is all shimmed up and aliened thanks to Manny. Gas tank is in...it wont be long before we start this thing up!
8/2/2006 I really wanted to have the car done for Super Chevy up in NH. but ran into some snags. I didn't like the way the headers fit so I ordered new ones, witch took almost a month to get. That made me have to cancel my appointment to have the exhaust put in. When the new Headers where in the guy that was going on vacation. I also had problems with the stainless steel brake lines leaking. Got that all set and now I'm back to working on the engine compartment.
4/8/2006 Been plugging along on the car. Got allot of the interior done with the help from the guys at El Camino Central. Got some what of a plan trying to get this thing done by July of this year. I really want to hear it run!
12/12/2005 Moved site to it's own host.
11/28/2005 Got everything put back in the bed of the car. I finished it up over the past weekend.
10/29/2005 Well yet another year goes by...But there is some good news! Last weekend I started gearing up for putting the car back together. I took up about 10 boxes of parts and started going thru them. Looks overwhelming trying to remember where everything goes! Looks like I'll be needed some help from all the Elky guys out there!
7/06/2004 I've been getting allot of email asking for updates on the car, but sadly I haven't been working on it. To many irons in the fire. I hope to get the heater working out in the garage so I can work on the car over the winter.
11/28/2003 I hand glazed the car and put a cover on it for the winter. I'm not much for working out in the garage during the winter months. I'm sure I'll find some stuff to do tell we get better weather.
9/20/2003 Well I got the car back from Ray today, just one week before I'll get Married. Ray trailers it up as a wedding gift. That saves me another trip down south.
9/06/2003 I spoke with Ray (The Body Man) this past week and it looks good for the car to be painted by the end of this month. I was so happy to hear that! Ray is taking a 1970-1972 Cowl hood and wielding the cowl to my hood. It's going to look sweet. He'll paint SS stripes on the hood and tailgate. I'm still not sure what color to do them...I was thinking silver or maybe ghost. (lighter purple) I'll need to figure it out very soon, since the car is ready for paint.
7/18/2003 Man another year went bye and I haven't got the new site up and running yet. It getting very close.
6/08/2002 After over two years on a free web host I felt it was time to more it over to my own Domain. The site also needed a new look so I started redoing it. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
