Re: 1973 Chevrolet El Camino

Let's shake the dust off the topic!

As promised in August - rear shock absorbers:



Finally installed, and at the same time adjusted the tail of the frame in hot water. Due to the deformation of the silicone mold, the left frame rail "went to the left" and became shorter than the right by 2mm.





The same frame rails, but with a tank



Yes, I was looking at the reference photo here and realized that not only the front of the wing has a negative slope, but also the entire front panel



But trans-kit has it vertical



That is, before giving the right slope to the front of the wing, which I have already started to do (hurried) from the left side...



....I still need to cut off the front end at the panel line, give the end a negative slope with a putty and glue the front end back, but higher, because it will not work to raise the wing from above / in front, leaving the headlights and grill at the same level.



In addition, a slight strabismus of the headlights was found, which also requires correction in the sawn state.



Fortunately, the grill is a separate part here. I hope I will manage without losses.



Stay turned!
