I would love to have your '68 El Camino. Damn I'm jealous.

Don't be jealous I spent all my teenage years and well into twenty's restoreing this car, and $15,000 in parts, paint, and even a new frame. I hit a oil production rig ty down eye bolt (it's a 7 foot 1 1/4 inch dia. hardend steel buried in 10 feet of concrete) the engine cross member support hit the eyebolt and stopped me instantly and bent the frame down ward from the firewall to the grill. And of course the fenders folded. I am lucky the SS hood was not damaged, good luck finding a original 1968 SS chevelle / El camino hood.So what I'm trying to say is I worked my ass off for this, you know how long it takes a teenager to make $15,000? 7 years for me. I had to spend alot of the earnings on my useless college education... yea Electronic engineering sounds cool, but it's not! Dime a dozen for these highly trained tech's. I made more money working at Union 76 gas station.
