I've been MIA from this site working on another project . My wife's 84 El Camino . Thought i'd post up some pics of the progress .

stripped the 1 day paint job off did body work and primered
changed out chrome bumpers for Fiberglass tucked style
added AR torq thrust 2 17x8 wheels with 235/50 255/45 tires
added 2" cowl hood .
just started the first blocking of primer with 180 dry long board .

Nice work on that G-body "Hellcamino". The stance is spot on... I've always had a soft spot for that series. I think it's the modern day shoebox.

Am I nuts or are those Bump/Dent tail lights?
