: Another El Camino Vote
kenrogers1 05-10-2010, 08:25 AM We have another El Camino of ours that is in a race! This one belongs to Harald K - the ECC Regional Director for the Central area of Texas. His beautiful '83 is in the running for the Eastwood Car of the Month contest. For this contest, you may vote once each day, by clicking on the very small "thumbs up" icon located at the top edge of the cruck photo - so come back each day and vote. I have seen this cruck personally, and can attest to the fit & finish, the personality (if a cruck has a personality?), and the polish of the engine chrome & stainless. This is a beautiful example, and will also serve as a GREAT ambassador for our ECC and NECOA. Let's give Harald support commensurate with the support he's given the association for the past 7 + years, and take his cruck over the top also!...............Ken :beer:

Harald K 05-10-2010, 11:12 AM Ken, thanks very much for taking the time to solicit votes for my labor of love ElCamino. Naturally we all take great pride in our rides and love the recognition for it, but additionally my goal in entering the contest was also in hopes of gaining recognition and respect our special crucks which we often fail to get but certainly deserve. Thanks to you all for your support. Harald K.

Harald K 05-10-2010, 01:06 PM The wheels are 1974 Corvette 15 inch they came on most Corvettes up to 1976 -1982. Very easy to polish and fit perfectly with a bit wider track.
Thanks for all the support. Unfortunately the contest runs till the end of the month. Last months winner had more the 3000 vote so at this point anything can happen.
You are allowed to vote once per day. If your so inclined I would be grateful for your continued support. Harald K. :texas:

Harald K 05-11-2010, 07:49 AM Actually there is not a great deal of chrome under the hood. most of what you see is polished aluminum. I know it adds to the difficulty factor but it does not chip or peel and does look more classy and hi-tech.
Lets face it how often do we get the recognition we deserve for our cars- trucks, not in the truck mags and seldom in the car mags.
After all don't we have the original hybrids? You would think since that is the in thing in cars someone would have picked up on that by now.
I love my ElCamino because it is the best of both, drives and handles like a great car and has a really big trunk to boot.
Some of us just like to take a alternate path. Thanks for the vote and support. Harald K. :texas:
Harald K 05-11-2010, 09:29 AM While I have some of your attention. If there is anyone in the central Texas area in need of a fairly good 5th Generation stock hood. I have one that is Free to a good home. All you would have to do is coordinate with me to pick it up. The hood has no rust and is currently in primer but would still need additional prep for paint. Did I mention it is FREE. I don't need it and would rather give it to someone who can use it than have it sit around and take up space. I did say it is FREE right? Send me a PM and lett me know if your interested. Harald K. :texas:
hel98 05-11-2010, 12:32 PM It looks like we can only vote once. Got a pop-up saying I have already voted.

Harald K 05-13-2010, 07:53 AM All right you all this things not over yet.
If you have not voted in the last day or so, I would appreciate if you would try to cast another vote. The contest runs till the end of the month and having been relegated /pushed to the second page sort of takes one out of the lime light.
Taking the popular and familiar political position, just remember I'm not in it for myself but as representative for all of you ElCamino and Caballero's owners struggling for respect.
Thanks for all your support Harald K. :texas:

Harald K 05-17-2010, 06:42 AM Thanks again for all of your support.
By the way in case you may have some question about the function of my 83. This is not another trailer queen or garage fixture. I can assure you that this car was made to be driven. This is actually my daily driver which I drive every day to and from work as well as around town on the weekend. I have done quite a bit to up grade to the whole car drive train, suspension, brakes, body and interior. The car is a joy to drive in addition to getting it's share of complimentary looks. Sure it requires extra attention to keep it in this condition, but it's a labor of love and a very worthwhile endeavor. Harald K. :texas:
kenrogers1 05-17-2010, 06:58 AM I'm not sure what their calculus is, but sometimes I can vote on two consecutive days, and other times I have to wait for 3 days. Go figure................Ken :beer: :texas:

We're not busted, the voting was! The program is supposed to allow each voter one vote per day - and it hasn't been allowing that to happen. The moderator has now apparently fixed the program and we can now increase our votes to one per day.

Harald K 05-21-2010, 07:47 AM Well it appears that the Eastwood car of the month web site voting has broken down , at least as far as recent votes for my 1983 ElCamino.
I have checked my statues a couple of times over the past two days adding a number of the known votes cast this week the count should be close to 300 but continues to hold at 287 which is where it was Monday. Perhaps the web master has a grudge against the ElCamino. On the bright side if all others are having the same issue it would still leave me in the lead. Have a great weekend. Polish something Harald K. :texas:
kenrogers1 05-21-2010, 08:55 AM 288 "Likes" - It finally moved off 287 this morning (with my vote?). I had also noted last afternoon that it was stuck on 287 - the same total it showed a couple of days before. And, I sent an eMail to the Eastwood Webmaster, asking if there has been an problem identified with the voting accumulations - We'll see?
BUT - We can't stop now, just a few more days to go! THANKS very much to all who watch this on a daily basis and take every opportunity to vote. After you've voted here for Harald's '83, please remember to go to Skinyfisher's Thread and cast a vote for his cruck, a beautiful '68 SS that's in the running for the Gold Eagle Products' StaBil Car of The Month - quite an honor again- and well deserved also. Together, we're going to take both these El Caminos over the top, and our crucks will finally get some great press outside of the ECC & NECOA...............Ken :beer:

Harald K 05-24-2010, 09:15 AM Dear fellow ElCamino lovers and friends,
The Eastwood car of the month contest is in it's last week and while my 1983 ElCamino has a pretty good lead thanks to many of you, it is unwise to assume a sure win.
I'm asking once more that you take the time to cast a vote for one of my favorite toys.
Those of us who enjoy the car hobby seldom get much more than admiring looks and a small amount of recognition for our efforts, winning this contest is mostly about the recognition part.
Help me get the recognition which I've worked for in preserving this piece of Americana and at the same time draw attention to a car that is as divers as we are.
If you have not voted before there is a small thumbs up icon at the top right corner above the picture which you click on to register a likes (vote). You are allowed to vote once per day.
As special thank you to Ken and Donny who have been the constant during this effort.
Thanks again for your support. Harald K. :texas:

The last winner told me he runs a restoration shop and is in the music biz. He apparently reached out to his entire email list (which is quite large!)and asked them to vote as well. I love to see the enthusiasm, so no issue with being "busted" here. Keep it up!

kenrogers1 05-24-2010, 10:52 AM I voted for someone else.
Thanks, Troll, for helping someone win. I'm sure all of the participants are rightly very proud of their vehicles, and all are expecting other persons who appreciate their vehicle to vote for them. Having said that, Harald and Jay would appreciate their fellow El Camino minded members voting for their El Caminos. Thanks to you, of course, for voting your conscience, thereby showing your appreciation for a vehicle other than a cruck. I'm sure that you had a reason that was valid in your mind at the time of voting..............Ken :beer:

Actually.....YES, I had a very valid reason for voting they I did. I vote for the vehicle I think is best and deserves to win. I don't vote for a El Camino just because it's an El Camino and someone asked me to. If you can be proud of winning that way, than more power to you. I just know I could never feel good knowing that I won because all my buddies voted for me.
And may I ask just what the hell is a cruck?
Is it a truck for crack addicts?
Never mind I know.........It's a stupid made up name......It just makes me want to torch an El Camino every time I hear it used.

kenrogers1 05-27-2010, 07:00 AM All we can do is keep trying..............Ken :beer:
Harald K 05-27-2010, 09:48 AM Looks like the Dodge is going to be hard to catch with a lead of 100 votes over my ElCamino, but we will keep plugging at it and who knows we could always have a surge. A surge has worked before. Regardless it was great to get all the support from you guys.
I would like to think you all took the time to vote not just because it was an ElCamino but because you appreciated what I have done to the car as far as up grades, improvements to make it stand out from others. An ElCamino is in a class of it's own they are either loved or not, like many other things being different can make it harder to fit in, but maybe that is why we drive them we like being different. Thanks again for all your support. Harald K . :texas::patriot:

Please, don't spam me or other ECC members with PM's soliciting votes.

I'm afraid the push, at least from my side, is over, Harald and Jay. Although the response, back to me, to my request has been overwhelmingly positive, I don't need to be told but once that what I'm doing is wrong. I apologise to all those who have been offended by my spam. So, I'll leave it at that! I'm done...................Ken

Harald K 05-29-2010, 05:02 PM Ken, and to all the others who have taken the time to support my car.
I feel guilty that as a result of your efforts you were chastised for wanting to promote recognition for a car that we enjoy and cherish. It never occurred that this simple initiative would every offend some one.
But then at our age Ken we have developed a thicker skin.
Thanks again. By the way you missed a good show , but boy was it hot. Harald K. :texas:

Harald K 05-30-2010, 02:42 PM Well it is unlikely we will be able to close the gap before the end of the contest, but we gave it a valiant effort. I want to thank everyone for their strong support through out the month. A special thanks to Ken, Donny and all those who took the time to vote every day. I think we did bring some serious recognition to this half breed loved by some hated by others machine we are endeared to.
Keep those who gave all in your hearts not just tomorrow but everyday.
Thanks Harald K. :texas::patriot:
