Slowly I've been acquiring parts for when I get back at it. I've got the parts car which supplies me with new aftermarket quarter panels, and virtually rust free fenders and doors. The frame is in better shape and it came witha posi rear end. It's more than what I needed at this point but I couldn't pass up the deal. I've come to the conclusion that I'll be learning a lot more than I thought I would because a quote of 4 grand to put just the quarters on is a bit steep for me. Looking forward to making more progress over the summer, pics and updates forthcoming as I move forward. Cheers! _________________ Proud Diablo and not that Lamborghini kind Back to top ElkyPete 4th Gen Group Moderator Necoa #: 3 Location: 13(TX) Joined: Apr 19, 2003 Posts: 2915 Year: 1976 Model: El Camino Posted: Tue May 08, 2007 11:13 am    Post subject: Congratulations!

Happy to be back amongst all of you. My girl is now 2 and content with daddy working on the car. I'll be stripping the last couple of parts of the donor car and having it hauled off. Stripped my donor doors and assessed the repairs needed-overall pretty good doors (both sets) so I'm not expecting those to take me long to refurbish. The major project for winter is those pesky quarter panels (baby steps ya know). Bottom line is I miss my Diablo and itching to get working on her again. Once again-thanks to all of you and this site. Every one I find in my city that has one I point in this direction. _________________ Proud Diablo and not that Lamborghini kind Back to top PaPa Johns 77 Silver Contributor Necoa #: 6188 Location: 10(IL,MN,WI) Joined: Sep 29, 2005 Posts: 2703 Year: 1977 Model: El Camino Posted: Fri Oct 03, 2008 4:04 pm    Post subject: Wow!
