Wow!

Its been quite some time since I posted anything about anything it seems. God, everything went to hell since my last posting. I'm working my way up on the commercial side of O'Reilly's doing sales calls and selling. I shifted over to my El Camino because its in a bad way and have left it abused for too long. On my next week of vacation I will have all the body work done on it and prep it for paint. I recently priced out enough gold base coat from HoK and it blew my mind...so instead I will shoot a mix of ultra silver and gold flake [mostly gold] over a black base and shoot burgundy candy over it. I am adding a set of Wilwood brakes I got for free too.

The GMC is going to become a one off truck...instead of leaving it stock height or lowering it. I plan to turn it into a Pre-Runner truck with 35's on 18's and since no one makes fender flares I will build them myself since the tires will be outside the fenders up front. The flares will be sculpted and not raggedly put together.
The BBC idea went out the door because of Car Craft and Roadkill drove prices up too high so back to a single plane, single carb 6.0L making a touch over 500HP. Keeping the Elco as my hotrod the truck shouldn't need more than 500HP...but you never know.
