i have a 68 elCamino that i just restored i am on my school computer so i can't post pics now but i will this weekend....


I as well live in san ramon i go to California High School

im still here,after paying IRS and a few bill collectors things are looking up again.Weather is turning real nice again which is a change for the better.Now this brings me to a question for our Elky gurus.My son thinks he has carte blanche to my Elky.He took it out twice while i was sleeping,one time he run the side ever so slightly against the white fence and now has a line of paint on the side.

Does any one here know how to install a very simple kill switch that can be hidden some where in the inside of the car.Ive told my son not to take it any more while i sleep but somehow i dont trust him.I dont think i want to alarm it ,i just want a kill switch for my 85 elky.

any and alll help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Still checking in from time to time-my account is not working properly so I don't get email notifications....I'm up near Eureka 64 bigblock.....Tried to start it today, been probably 3 months, almost turned over, dead battery dammit.

Bamboo- you can wire in a kill switch to the starter solenoid off the back of your ignition switch pretty easily, but if your son can figure out how to jump between the starter solenoid and the battery terminal on the starter he can still get it started. If that's the case you'll need to install a master disconnect switch on the battery.

Hi there,

I am here in Petaluma area. I have a 70 El camino. Getting ready to dig into it.

How do you put a pic in your post?

Rollin an 85 Elk project in work, repin Woodland a lot to do still

New to Nor-Cal here and new to the forum. I do want a 78-87 Elky, but I'll try for any 78-87 Gbody at the right price once funds become available. Montes are my favorite and have had several of them over the years. But when I see all the El Caminos around town every day I want one.

I live in Chico and am up to any meet and greet. Almost finished my 65, still need to find some rims that I like. Photos in the gallery on page 7 check it out.

In Concord. I have owned my 1971 SS big block sence 1986 back to working on it, I am installing new drivers 1/4 and inner wheel well front lower fenders

I'm in Redding. 66, 350 4sp, 2-70 A/C, old paint, terrible interior, but love it to death. Had it since 1989, just got it running this summer, it had been in storage for 7 years. Boy, does that ruin things! No pics on computer, but looks similar to pix of graffix 65, similar yellow, although my paint isn't what it was in the 80's ! ! Will update with pix soon, AC

Ukiah here. got a 73 elco with no engine...more to come on that soon..
Ace

I'm from Richmond, got a 74 el camino with a 305(planning for 350)

I am cruisin in Roseville/Granite Bay with my '68. Good 20/20 car: 20 MPH or 20 feet away and it looks good :-) But hey with a 402 BBC and a HR296 cam and 3" exhaust it is a LOT of fun. Except for the 8 MPG around town part :-(

Regarding local shows... there is some amount of show at the Downtown Tuesday Nights in Roseville. Check out old town Roseville for a number of cars. I went a couple weeks ago and there were a couple of El Caminos and a number of Chevelles.

New owner of a 65 project, hope to have her running soon. Thinking of maybe enter some car show next summer.

Hi stubborn,

A 65, right on. Hope to see pic's as you move along with it.

Dad and I just went to the Golden something or other car show at the Cal Expo in Sac. There were some very nice cars there. Only saw 1 El Camino. I have many ideas for my baby!

51 vehicles are already registered for next year's 50th Anniversary Celebration at Auto Club Famoso Raceway. Look for the big marketing kickoff next month. Big plans, big budget, big event.

I'm Going to 50th Bakersfield! It will be great!!:nanawrench:

I'm in the Concord area and I have an 85 that used to have a 4.3 Liter V6 and now sports a 3.8 Litre SFI Turbo V6 hence the "LC2" in my screen name. I picked it up in Sonoma County at a thrift store for $995 back in 2003 and just recently got her running with the fresh drivetrain.

Dave

Awesome Dave, I am having a heck of a time getting anyone together. I am up in Vacaville.

I love going to meets! The local Turbo Buick club does a monthly meeting at specific place each month on the same day in Milpitas. It's more or less a central location but people come from as far south as Santa Cruz and as far north as Sonoma County and and north east as the Brentwood area. I don't mind driving.

I know during the summer time they have car shows every Fri afternoon at the Sun Valley Mall parking lot in Concord on Willow Pass Rd just off of 680. That might not be a bad place. I have only been to one meeting at John's Burger in Livermore back in 2005 or so. I didn't even have my car with me though.

Dave

Hi Guys,I'm here,went to a "get-together" last night in Santa Clara,quit a bit of cars there,I tryed to upload the event,but the pic. file was too big [2.05 mb].:poke:

Here are the pics from Gilby. I remember that Bucket T Roadster from Sun Valley. I spoke with the owner's wife and she was telling me that he designed it while in Vietnam and built it when he returned home.

Hi I am trying to get motivated to get more work done on my 1971 SS big block car. Since I have several cars (5) my time gets split a lot. I started a build page a while back but I can not find it. I am just finishing up a new 1/4 install and working on the fenders now.

elk grove. still working on putting a 427 into my 71.
