This has been a long project already.When I brought it home needed everything,but what can you expect from a junkyard car, I started with getting it running with a 305 and 250 tranny out of another el camino, then the body fenders,doors,hood,grill shell all junkyard stuff. It looked pretty bad with about 6 different colors ....I worked on getting it ready to paint and used Nason 2k to spray it . It looked pretty good so the interior was next seats from a escort, fiber-glassed the dash .....then the engine and tranny were changed........ 327 and 700r4... this is what is in it for now. Next will be 350 trans and gears not sure what kind yet....
