Hello to everyone. I'm Dan. Just bought a '73 this morning. I know I've got a long road in front of me before it is up to the level I want it to be. Hopefully this is the place to start the trip to restore it.

Welcome!
There's alot of great info and people here!

HI Dan,

You are on the right track. Just remember, never give up and it is never done.

Have a good one,

Bill

Dan, welcome to ECC. Lots of great folks and knowledge here. What are your plans?

I'd like to use this as a daily driver. Also, I'm going to be getting out of the military in about a year, and I would love to drive it back to the east coast. I guess I'm just hopping I didn't bite off more than I can chew. I'm not even sure where to start. It's strong mechanically, but it's got some rust damage to take care of. These are the only pictures I've got right now. I'll put some more up this weekend.http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s206/dirt315/005-1.jpghttp://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s206/dirt315/009-1.jpg

Welcome to the site. You will find that people here are very knowledgeable in just about every area.

That looks pretty solid for the amount of body that is shown.
If it is strong mechanically and the frame is solid it should be able to make a long haul like that.

welcome to ecc and good luck with your elky
and thank you for your service in the military :You_Rock:

Welcome aboard Dan, and thanks for serving. Your in the right place.

Hey Dan! Welcome to the site. I'm just north of you in Orange County. Good luck with your ride and if you need any help with rust repair I have a buddy that does all of the body work on my projects. I dabble in it a little myself. God bless all that serve our country!

welcome to the site i bought a 73 el camino about a month ago as my first car so i can say with little doubt that you have come to the right place for caminos

Welcome to the Forums, Dan! You've found the right site! Best of luck with your '73, it will be up to your expectations before you know it!............Ken :beer:
