Good Morning `Tadd,
I'm sorry to read about your Mother & I hope that her doctors can correct her medical issues. I can relate to your concerns.

When the table turns & we now have to take care of those that have taken care or raised us is not easy, but it is our duty.

I wish you the strength to endure & assist. I know that you will.
Just tell your mother you love her, you can never say it to many times. Prayer's & good wishes to you & family. Keep us updated.

 

Hi Member's,
If you had to choose between the above Monte Carlo or the below El Camino (?), which one would you want ? They both are the same asking price




Vehicle Description

You can get a pretty good idea of how nice this very impressive 1986 Chevrolet El Camino is just from the price. It's still quite affordable and represents a massive bang for the buck, but the quality of the build and the long list of new and upgraded components (yeah, that's a 383 under the hood) make it far more desirable than your average bargain-basement beater.

Let's start with the bodywork, which is laser straight and doesn't look like the beat-up old El Camino your gardener uses to haul tools. As a lifetime South Carolina car, it's quite clean and obviously rust is a non-issue, but you will definitely be impressed by the quality of the repaint. The icy silver finish makes it look sleek and futuristic, and with a mild chin spoiler, it has a long, low look that works rather well. It hasn't been dressed up like all the others you've seen, so there's no generic cowl induction hood or cheesy bed rails, just an ultra-clean Elky that someone spent a ton of time and money restoring. The bed doesn't look like it ever had to work for a living, and was refinished with the rest of the car and is now protected by a removable rubber pad, so it can still do a few chores around the house if needed. There are also beautiful bright chrome bumpers, a stock grille, and body-colored side mirrors borrowed from an SS. The entire look is one that will have people thinking it's a custom, but in reality they've just never seen an El Camino this clean and well-finished.

The interior offers the same intriguing is it stock or not vibe, with gray cloth buckets, door panels, and carpets, which are brand new and look fantastic. This Elky is also loaded with options, including A/C, power windows and locks, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and remote mirrors. The gray upholstery works quite well with the sleek silver bodywork and easily sheds that stodgy 1980s GM image that the Monte Carlo and El Camino seemed to share. A custom B&M shifter between the seats manages a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and there are Auto Meter instruments very cleverly stashed in the original instrument cluster for an OEM look. The AM/FM/CD stereo sounds awesome in the cozy El Camino passenger compartment with speakers expertly tucked out of sight.

But the real magic of this El Camino is underneath, where a fresh 383 was dropped between the frame rails. Based on a 4-bolt block, it was built with a Scat steel crank and I-beam rods, Keith Black flat-top pistons, and ARP hardware, so it's quite unlikely that you'll break it. Dart S/S heads with oversized valves are fed by a Holley Street Avenger carb and ceramic-coated long-tube headers manage the airflow. A new serpentine belt drive with polished or chrome accessories means that you can drive it anywhere with confidence, and between that overdrive transmission and the 10-bolt with 3.73s and a Posi inside, this El Camino combines the best of both worlds. Chrome Foose wheels finish the look with 245/45/17 front and 255/50/17 rear performance radials for just a bit of a rake.

The parts list alone is enough to make you want to take this car home, and there's simply no way you could duplicate it for anywhere near the asking price. Call us today!

Good morning all!
Thanks for starting the blog space!
I was awake actually but been very busy!
I finally finished the book I was writing!
I'm going through it and fine tuning it before i have Amanda edit it and then figure out what the next step is to getting it published.
It feels good that it is finally complete and only needs minor fine tuning!
I think it came out great!

Hope everyone has an awesome Sunday!
It's football day!!

 

Hi `Devin,
You're Welcome, I just reposted your Blog & changed the date LOL.

I hope that you are feeling good today without any pains. It's great that you finished your book (That's a major accomplishment 4-Sure)..
You can research online the best way to publish it ?

Does your Monte Carlo Family get a discount on your book or a review ? I would love to read what fell out of your mind . I think `if I wrote a book it would be a X rated auto type book (lol).

Look forward to hearing more about your book, it's title etc.
Wish you & Member's a Super Sunday...EnJoy your Moments

 

I am feeling great today thanks!
No pain so hope it stays that way til i get a Dr visit!
It for sure feels great to finally be done with it, I've been working hard on it over a year now!
I might change the title due to many many other books having the same one, which it was supposed to be called Isolation.

LOL! i bet a X rated one would probably sell better than my book!

There's lots of ways these days to get published so i will do research on the best route

Hope you have an awesome day Space!
