Im starting to think your idea of a beater is alot diffrent then mine. Im usually not a fan of chrome/polished wheels but they look good against all the black!

I may have missed it but who makes those wheels and do you have the center caps too?

 

 

Great work, I think my favorite part is the Blazer console.

In reply to crankwalk :

They are vintage centerline scorpion billet wheels.  Picked them up from Patrick, who bought them new in the late 90s.  Hes looking for the center caps, but we're not sure they still exist.  If they dont, ill make something that looks good.

In theory i am. Assuming its not colder than a welldiggers ass.

I really need to figure out what is wrong with the heater. It blows goats.

If your heater blows goats, maybe you should swap it out for a goater.

Those wheels cleaned up amazingly well. What did you use?

And I'm glad you love it again, it's one hell of a pretty car.

Those center caps set it off! Those must have been pretty hard to find.

I didn't figure that it would be as difficult as it was to find center caps to wheels that were discontinued 20 years ago and made by a company that has been out of business for 5....

Are you saying someone totaled the Camino?    Any chance you are going to beat the murder rap as justifiable?

Oh No!  I'm glad to hear everyone is OK.    Make sure you get yourself checked out.  Bumps and bruises etc. don't show up right away.   Easy does it.   Depending on the circumstances, a lawyer may be a wise choice.  A machine can be replaced, take care of yourself.
