monte70car Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 In about 3 weeks project El Camino will see color. We started out with a decent car It was a base model which we have spent 7 years in redoing. Car got new floor pans, new bed floor with new braces, new tail gate, new front clip, upgraded drive train 454 and a turbo 400. Paint was picked up Friday the paint jobber had to cross reference the Astro blue over to Chromobase got a lot more metal flake in it then a stock Astro blue. Going to do the black SS strips on the hood and even playing with the ideal of doing the center of the tail gate black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
