Welcome aboard...your also our 2nd member from Europe!

I checked out your web site and your Elky. Very nice job!

I'd really like to see more pictures of that BMW dash converstion you did. Looks like it turned out beautiful...

87SS

Hi 87SS, hi all,
Next week i shoot new pics from my dash.
And greets to all El-Camino Owners here in this cool forum.
Klaus

Nice Elky Klaus, to bad you had to ruin your website by showing the picture of Our Beloved President George Bush in that manner. Oh yeah I checked out the BUSHANDCHENEYSUCK.COM website also. I really wish people would leave their politcal viewpoints off this website but then again I guess thats what Freedom of Speech is all about right Klaus? I'm exercising mine now. Well I just hope you don't wire that BMW dash wrong Klaus and that beautiful American made El Camino doesn't go up in flames. Hey Klaus, just what does it cost you for a gallon of gas in your country and where does it come from Belgium, France or Germany? :x Michael J. Barone USN Retired

Very nice Elky. Sorry to see the political crap.

Hi all,
Sorry for the Bush pic on my page, i delete Mr. President.... Look now: http://www.elcamino.rockcrawler.com/new.html is now better ?
The gasoline here in Luxembourg cost now 0,80 Euro per Litre. The other country's, Belgium, Germany, France, must pay over 1,00 euro per Litre.

Klaus, thank you, but I did not mean for you to remove the pic, it is your right to put whatever you want on your website, that is Freedom of Speech. That is what I have been entrusted to protect by my country. I apologize to you and to any members I may have offended for mentioning my political viewpoints on this website. Mike

Thanks for playing nice guys...

And greets to all El-Camino Owners here in this cool forum. Klaus

Welcome Klaus. Nice to see you here. :D

:mrgreen:

Hey guys, Klaus is alright, maybe a little goofy :lol: sometimes. He's from the old elky list at yahoo.

Yeep, that's right. I'm happy to be here. El-Camino pages here in Europe are very rare. http://www.el-camino.de is open, but the last update is from 2001. And my friend Robert from Switzerland closed the page Http://www.el-camino.ch . A good Elky page is from Maikel in Netherland
http://run.to/elcamino here can you find the pics from the FIRST EL-CAMINO DAY in Europe last year. Over 70 Elky's ! A another page is from Frenchy man Eric at http://cf.geocities.com/ecric22/

Welcome, Klaus. Once, again, very nice Elky! :) Lot's of good work in your car. I also purchased the GM 350/330 for my '87 SS.

Hi Elky SS
The 330hp crate is a good engine. I change now the camshaft, valvesprings, headgaskets and so on, to pull out more power. You can feel it !

Hey klaus! nice to see you here! klaus was the insperation to do 17" wheels on my 78, he had used "spacers" on his,but i just ordered custom offsets, he has done a outstanding resto on his elk, and i visit his site often! :D

hi afast78
My 17" European style wheels are sold. i ordered by Summitracing new Cragar S/S 17". With the old ones and the spacers i have bad vibrations over 120mph.

Hello klaus,yes i saw that on your site,i think that everyone in luxembourg is going to be jealous of your new look! cant wait to see! 8O also did roby ever get something new to drive after he had the accident with his wagon? I loved the wagon's LOW profile! , also you did a gret job on the K5 blazer, looks like it can go anywhere, buy the way i used the name jims78elky for awhile if you remember me? :lol: hey klaus i don't think christiane is going to let you drive the olds lol, its looking good! talk later...Jim

Hi Jim,
Yeep, i remember. Roby own now a 1978 Malibu Sedan and a 1947 Ford Truck, it's a Hearse, a Undertaker car :-) look at http://www.elcamino.rockcrawler.com/interests.html this is a crazy Truck with a good running Flathead V8 and original 18.000mls on the counter. The Blazer is a Ex-US Army M1009. I change the complete front end with the look from a 1978 Blazer. Christiane's Old's is the last 2-Door Omega here in Luxembourg. Next week, i hope so, comes a new family member, a 1952 Chevy Styleline.
Klaus

With the old ones and the spacers i have bad vibrations over 120mph. 120 mph, gotta love those autobans :lol:

nice restoration, but the Xtreme badges are a little ........ummmmmmm :roll:

Hi,
The X-treme is painted. No badges on the Elky !

Hi,
The X-treme is painted. No badges on the Elky !

either way, its not an S-10 pickup.

but nice work in any case.

That's right, but: The S10 is not a X-treme car, its a plastic bomber

That's right, but: The S10 is not a X-treme car, its a plastic bomber

so you wanna put the name of a well known slow a## plastic bomber on your el camino.......ok, that makes sense :roll:

Over 120 with spacers? Are you crazy? Reminds me of the time I went 130 with the tires rubbing the tie rod ends!

Hi,
This spacers are not the simply ones. Thats a quality product and testet over many years. Take a look at

SPACERS (http:// www.spurverbreiterung.de)

Hey that is the nicest Elky i have ever seen!!! How much money did that all cost you? and how long did it take to accomplish all of that?

Hi camino_driver17
Thanks :D
Hmm, i never calculate the total costs, but i think, the last 5 years i invest +/- 25.000 bucks. But, other people have other hobbies. I live my dream.

nice, up until the pics of the motor.

I hope your getting sponser money

I like the X-Treme Badging. Yah yah its painted, still called badging / Graphics.

On the back of my 76 I have the plastic (X-Treme) Badge from GM. I equate that to the same as people applying the SS Badging to a Car or Truck. To me that is a statement not a logo. However as far as the SS goes. Chevy's are far more expensive for the SS versions and, for me, preserving that is important so I don't fake an SS. I don't think it is "Faking' an X-Treme S-10 because it is not an S-10 and you didn't try to pass it off as one.

Anyway... It looks like you put a great deal of work into your truck and it paid off well. Good looking truck!

I've never ran spacers on any wheels. Did you swap out to a 7/16 20 lug? What were they 3" long jobs? I've never been bold enough to trust mods like that with my life. I'm sure that properly installed, for normal driving, they are sufficient. But I never wanted to push that. It is easier to get the proper backspacing on the Rims for me.
