Elcaminos are special!
I'd rather walk around with a Chevrolet hubcap in my hand than drive a Ford

Good luck! I for one will never strip a car myself again. I'll leave it for the media blasting people.

No after pics yet, my car has been in the body shop since last Thanksgiving. They haven't done much yet. I'm hoping to have the car back by the end of April.

Anybody got any pics of replacing their Elky 1/4's. I am still torn on what to do.

Here are a couple of pictures from the quarter panel replacement on my 65 El Camino. Also included is my bare fender in the background of the first picture.
I bought a used quarter from AZ since they were not reproduced at the time. It's very easy to do, separate the old panel at the spot welds and rocker, then fit the new one and weld in place. This should be done with the door and tailgate mounted correctly before you remove the quarter so that you get the new one installed in the right place.
