1986 Chevy El Camino (Currently Brown and Gold, future color?)
Modifications
Drivetrain
The original 305 was removed and engine bay/firewall/frame is being prepped for the new 350. Built from a block I have be moving around with me for the past 35+ years.
Interior
Mostly stock and in fair condition. Future plans include bucket seats and some dash/gauge cluster modifications.
Exterior
Cheap repaint done about 10 years ago and baked in the Florida sun since. Definitely in need of a facelift. At least a little botox.
Audio
Currently, None. Original 350 THD auto was removed and I have a Tremec T56, six speed to install. New hydraulic brake clutch combo will take some fabrication. Wish me luck.
Suspension
Spohn tubular upper and lower A arms with QA1 coil overs in the front. Spohn 4 link adjustable with QA1 coil over rears. I'm currently leaning towards a Currie 9" with 3.70 track lock.
Wheel and Tire
Undecided at this time. Probably 18"
