Hey fellow Elky owners, why don't we post pictures, video's, and websites featuring our El Caminos. This would be a great way to get to know one another! graemlins/waving.gif

Here is a short video of my Elky. My website with pics, is in my signature. I look forward to seeing your ECs.

Crap - I don't know how that d*mned F*RD got in there - sorry!

See web page with lots of pics and videos in my signature. The look of the car will be significantly changed in the next few months as it undergoes paint and body. The performance will not change, however smile.gif

Crap - I don't know how that d*mned F*RD got in there - sorry! Nothing wrong with that Ford. At least the El Camino is in the place of honor! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Looking good guys!!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I found this site by chance, and they have used my car on the 2nd Generation stuff. How cool is that????? Think I might buy one or two! graemlins/hurray.gif
Brian

Hey Brain,
That is totally cool! :D
How does it feel to own a famous Elky? How did they get a pic of your car?

The ElCamino web site had a calendar contest and mine was selected for the month of Feb. Then the company that printed the calendars used the same picture for the shirts. Kinda wild seeing my own car on those shirts.

Before

After?

I like the convertible look! Anyone want to borrow my Sawzall?

The convertible look is pretty cool, especially if your trying to set up a roll bar. I would just hope not to get caught in the rain, LOL!

Guys,
I give up - how in the @#$& do you post a picture...EXACTLY? I have done a search and tried to follow the directions and it doesn't work!

Mine is in the signature. Pics with a cheapie digital camera, and does not do the car justice at all.

John graemlins/clonk.gif Exactly:

1. The picture MUST reside somewhere on the Internet that can be reached by anyone,NOT just your computer and NOT with some host that requires anyone to log in.
2. You need the entire URL to the photo itself, not so some host's address that allows you to click on a link to find a picture.
3. The correct code to insert the picture is (almost) as follows:

[ img ]http://www.mypicturehost.com/mypicture.jpg[ /img ]

Here's the 'almost' stuff.
First: Substitute your picture's URL (web address) for the 'http://www.mypicturehost.com/mypicture.jpg' portion. For example, the URL to the first photo I have listed is 'http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/396guy/elky1.jpg' where 'http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/396guy/' is the photo's location and 'elky1.jpg' is the name of the photo.
Second: Don't put spaces between the left brace [ and right brace ] and the 'img' and '/img' text.

OK! Thanx! graemlins/hurray.gif

More work to go!

This will be my first picture post!
http://hometown.aol.com/phxboerner/images/elky%20stance.jpg

Forgot to put my signature on the pic so this is kind of a double post! Sorry, you know us newbies!

70SSElky (like your forum name, by the way) - the stance and tires - very aggressive looking!! What size tires are you running?

Like you forum name too! The tires are a Hoosier 14.50 X 28 Quick Time Pros. (DOT Slicks) I like the stance for the street but I let some air out of the "bags" if I want it to really hook up.

Finally got around to taking some pics and posting them....

Check out my 67 Elky recent purchase in my signature line. Still tweaking it to get ready to drive and show. It is an original big block with lots of options and A/C. Just completely rebuilt the front end and tuned the engine. Got minor interior work to do and it will be a fun driver. graemlins/hurray.gif

Yellow '64. Don't know why the pictures won't enlarge??

Car came with tilt steering, A/C, disc brakes, buckets, console, deluxe seat belts, T-400, gauges w/tach and vinyl top. Previous owner changed vinyl top color to white which was not a color offered in 67 on Elky's. He also changed gold interior to bright blue which I like with the original white color of the car. Other than interior color and vinyl top the car appears all original. Numbers match as far as I can tell. Came with original carb off the car but we rebuilt it and it still did not work so I had to put a new Eldebrock 850 with electric choke on it.

When 396/325 was rebuilt a mild Comp cam was installed about 10 years ago so I am having vacuum problems with the brakes. May have to put a vacuum pump on the car to maintain vacuum for power brakes to work. Car was built for california so it has smog pump equipment on it though it is disconnected.

All in all it is nicely equipped and was nicely maintained. Has 140K on it as far as I can tell.
Just completely rebuilt the front end including new ball joints, bushings, tie rods and bushings in the rear.

Car has a few rust bubbles at the edge of the vinyl top. I am going to take of the top and probably leave it off as I don't really like the looks of the black vinyl top on a 67 Elky. There is not enough mass in the design of the cab to justify a vinyl top in my opinion. Sort of looks "skinny".

Does anyone know if the Chevrolet emblem on the top of the front grill of 1967 Malibu's was also on Elky's ordered with 396 engine? I have seen small block Elky's with the emblem but not big block's. Wonder if the big blocks had the SS grill without the SS on it?

http://72ss454elcamino.com/2ndgen_1.htm There are no links from the thumbnails to the original photos. However (with IE6 anyway), if you right-click on the photo, select "Properties", copy the address and paste it into the Address line on the browser and remove the _t at the end of the photo name, it'll show the picture in full size.

For example, for http://72ss454elcamino.com/Arta%20elky_t.jpg delete the _t from the address and use http://72ss454elcamino.com/Arta%20elky.jpg FWIW, the %20 is what's displayed when you use a space character in a file name.
