Hi!
I'm a new member to your group. I own a '71 El Camino I bought a
year ago; it was originaly a 350 but will now be fitted with a 454,
since the previous owner elected to keep his engine. I need to
replace the frame on it, and already managed to make my first
mistake: acting on a tip saying that all 68-72 El Caminos shared the
same frame with the station wagons, I bought a '69 Vista Cruiser that
had a good frame. Unfortunately, it's the wrong wheelbase! (121 to
116). Oh well, they say you learn through your mistakes...

I also own a '66 GTO convertible, but its a parts car; I'm planning
to find a Tempest or Lemans and use the salvageable parts to make a
clone. But don't worry, I never attempt to pass a clone as the real
thing. For instance, my EC is a run of the mill car that was painted
as to resemble an SS (yellow with black stripes), but there are no SS
badges on it.

I see there hasn't been a lot of action on the message board, so I
hope you guys will shake some of that winter blues out there!
