Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
After a short session of wet sanding a portion of the hood yesterday I decided it would be best to do the entire vehicle.
  The speedometer cluster turned out nice.

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.

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Been taking care of minor details lately. I discovered that wet sanding much improved the appearance and just finished the entire vehicle...whew!
  Dash complete...doing some extra wiring before it goes back in.    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.
