BEFORE AND AFTER

	THE 1973 EL CAMINO SS the body of this El Camino overall was in excellent shape
	there was a little rust on the back wheel wells and your "usual" road pecks
	so what we did was repair the rust strip it down to the metal prime and paint back original color (GM #11) White with Black SS stripes
	we put new wheel well moldings,weather stripping,vinyl top, new back bumper and added cargo rails and "made to fit" Tonneau cover
	the engine was originally a 350 2 barrel i rebuilt a 327 out of a Impala SS (1969) put some 300 heads on it a new Carter competition carb and a "few" chrome "dress up" pieces for looks
	now the interior was a little shabby so i took some POWER leather buckets seats out of a Chrysler New Yorker modified some brackets and stuck them in there...i like comfort
	i painted all of the interior molding,dash,door panels with matching charcoal gray vinyl paint new carpet and headliner
	some other things added was factory gages,stereo radio, a console,stick shift,tilt,cruise,remote RIGHT mirror,sport steering wheel and POWER windows and locks (did i mention i am also LAZY!)
	so there you have it "The Finished" 1973 EL CAMINO SS

closing comments: i restored this 1973 EL CAMINO SS to the original color and all exterior to what it came out of the factory paint,stripes and vinyl top i added the cosmetics of the cargo rails and tonneau cover and some SS spinner hubcaps (1968 Impala i think) the interior i had FUN with for my comfort!!

i took these pics a year ago december 3,1997 and started working on this site. i plan on doing some digital stuff soon (dont rush me today is december 3 1998! and took a year to get this far (LOL) anyway check back from time to time and your comments and questions are welcomed

if anyone wants to know where i found parts its simple SALVAGE YARDS!!! for some unknown reason this FOURTH GENERATION EL CAMINO has been NEGLECTED for reproduction parts and it was the biggest production year in the history of
