Welp, Newbie here......
My wife and I just bought a '81 El Camino today. It has a custom white paint job with red & black stripes, custom gauges & steering wheel, fresh upholstry, a big ole' 350 v-8 with 4 bolt mains, a mild cam, edlebrock aluminum intake, 4 barrell carb, headers, duel exhaust with Flowmaster muffs. Overall the car is in pretty good shape and needs a little tlc here and there. Leaving the house right now to go pick it up and I will have some pictures up today...
I look forward to meeting some new people and learning a bunch of tricks in and around this car.

Welcome to the site. sounds like you got a nice find there. Maybe you can make it over to Ol Town on March 1 and join us. A bunch of FL elky freaks are getting together. There are a couple of threads in the region 6 forum about it.
Looking forward to the pictures. WE LOVE PICTURES! :D

Hey, welcome indeed and congratulations on such a cool find. 40 minutes from Old Town means you just absolutely have to be there on the 1st right?
Where exactly are you? I think I'm a bit over an hour from Old Town. I stay in Port St. John. It's right next to Titusville.
I am sure that you will have a good time and not get to meet some hard core Elco enthusiasts but you will als get to meet some really cool people.
Keep us posted on your progress. :)

I am in Polk County between Lakeland and Winter Haven...
I plan on going, not sure if the wife will make it or not.
Here are some more pictures that we took today after giving her the first bath!!!

Very nice pics. Can't wait to see it in person. Polk county. I think you are closer to El Dawgg than me.
Well, maybe you two can get together and we could meet off of 417 or something on that Saturday morning. Just a thought.
Congrats once again.

Cylcone ,Saw your new ride listed I believe on Craigslist and thought it looked real nice.Actually too nice to just come and look but to display with us on Main Street on Sat. Tell you wife we hid your keys for the day!! Maybe you can meet up with 82 Elco or Eldawgg to drive in. Check out www.old-town.com for any maps,cruise rules etc., etc.

My plan was to go 528 West to 417 towards Kissimmee. I can take Colonial (50th) to the 417 then head towards Kissimmee. Anyone else want in? El Dawgg where you at? Send me a text when you get a minute. Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments bro... Actually My wife will be able to make it with me. The car needs ALOT of work, trust me... BUT it is a good canvas to start with...
What time is everybody meeting up at Old Town?? She gets off at 4 so it would be around 5 - 5:30 before we got there
