My body man beat me

Built a nice little HR 350 motor for my body man as part trade for some of the Body work he did on the El Camino. He drove up today to rub my nose in his progress!!!! He still has some interior work to finish but he surely beat me to 'drivable'













The pictures don't do it justice,, this thing is absolutely beautiful!!!

I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.

Re: My body man beat me

Pretty sweet but too high in the rear!

I kinda like the phantom grill.

Give me about a week or two and you'll see it on the streets here in C.G.

(Or there's links in my sigg )


Yeah I agree, it needs to be lowered in the rear, loose the phantom grill, and some more 'fitting' wheels, may some trim somewhere to break up the paint. But,,,,, that's why we do this. To make it 'our' creation and if it were 'mine',,, it'd be something different.
