Hey Guys ,
been a member a couple of months and wanted to wait to post until I got my elky back from one day where I got a low buck paint job. I'm actually quite happy with the paint job they did. I've had the truck for 10 years and after always taking a back seat to my other cars I decided to get it paint now rather than waiting for the expensive job.
anyway it's a 69 with a 327 and TH350.
Jim

Hey Jim, Welcome aboard bud. Don't look like 'low buck' paint to me, looks really nice. Glad to see another being restored. Enjoy...

Looking good there Jim, oh and BTW, welcome to ECC.

Good to see the quality basics are done. That will be one nice El Camino when it hits the road.

Looks like somebody's about 3 steps ahead of me. I can't wait to see here when she gets her chrome back on!! Looking Gooooooood. I have some rust to spots to deal with and new windows and new tires and new rims and new interior and ect ect ect before I get my 69 painted. Phil

Opps, Sorry Jim, I Didn't see the pics on the bottom. Now I'm really getting the fever. I was considering a brown paint job on my 69, But I really think I'm going for Yellow with the black racing stripe down the hood. But now that I'm looking at yours!!! Aweesome!!!

thanks for the kind words. At first I wasn't too excited with the color, but the more you see the color the more it grows on you. just got to get the chrome for the bed and door panels then she's back on the road.
