well, guys and gals, i finally figured out how to get pics on here. i asked this a few weeks ago, but does anybody know, did any of these come with this style front grill from the factory? or is it a custom job? just got my 73 a few weeks ago so i'm still figuring all this stuff out. tell me what you think. thanks!

That looks very cool! I don't think I've ever seen another El Camino with the front like that, except a Chip Foose El Camino on Overhaulin'. That's the Laguna front I think, and I think it only came on the Laguna. Easy enough to swap on as they are the same front sheet metal though. Looks cool.

That looks great Cory. In fact it looks so good I think I better install the Laguna front end, that I've had laying around for a year,on mine. JJ73

hey, thanks for all the positive comments, guys! i wish i could take the credit for making this thing as cool as it is, but i bought it like that. somebody did a pretty nice job, though. it's a very solid car with some cool features. i need to uncork the exaust though with some headers and 2 1/2 or 3 inch pipes. anyone have a good suggestion for where to buy headers for a 4th gen with a big block? or which ones fit best? i did a few searches but most topics seemed to pertain to 5th gen stuff.

thanks again.... -cory 8)

well, here's what i figured out so far. it looks like the nose IS from a 73 laguna. check out the pics, both 73's. same as mine. in 74 they went to the square style turn signals. so there ya go.
