Rich, what did you find out concerning your chassis deal? -Al

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Rich, it sounds like everything was done correctly. This definitely falls in the weird category. Good luck and let us know how it comes out.

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

I still am not sure what the reason is, but I did shim the two body mounts closest to the rear on the driver side. At the front door hinges there is only a 1/4" difference so I elected to not shim any further forward of the frame. I'll have a better sense of what it looks like once all the weight is back on the car and I can get it outside for a better view.

Been taking care of minor details lately. I discovered that wet sanding much improved the appearance and just finished the entire vehicle...whew!

Engine is already in place...will attach the metric transmission the next time I pick the truck up in the air. It's a toss up which will be the final step...setting up the rear housing or installing the vent/side glass. I'm just dreading trying to get that glass back into place.

All glass, trim and bumpers installed...finally looks like something again.

Thanks Ed - Here lately I've been painting all my engines with the cast iron grey...sick of looking at orange lol. :p

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Finished the doors today and pulled out the manual pedals in favor of an automatic brake pedal. Metric 200 went right in with the factory cross member...guess I will shell the 12-bolt tm. Junk headers installed until I can find a suitable set.

Spent the day doing some much needed cleanup and organizing instead of actual work on the El Camino. I also moved operations over to the heated side of the building with the onset of colder temps...mo happy.

We really need to get the '66 back together for next year.

Moving at a snail's pace as usual. Ford housing ends to be welded in place Friday, then I can order axles and get the 12-bolt back under the truck.
