1970ElCamino Jul 6th, 10, 9:08 AM Beautiful '67. Great job, Doug!
I just got back from a trip to Delaware. While I was out there I thought I'd check out some cars and folks with parts with a friend. One guy had a '57 Thuderbird he was trying to sell. We started talkin' and he asked me if I might be interested in his '67. I told him let's check it out. He took us to a field behind his house and sure enough, there was a blue 1967 El Camino sitting on the ground slowly rotting away. It was a shame to see such a nice pickup destroyed. I really like those '67's. It's nice to see your '67 on the road.
Keep on truckin'!

I'll send pic's of the engine compartment whenever I get some good ones.
Thanks for all the compliments, it makes me feel good about this project. I will also probably be looking forward to upgrading this project with your help!
