Wow that is rough from behind the doors back. Damn shame, another one bites the dust.

Yes but that is why i got it cheap. Only thing good is exactly what i needed. And nothing else.

Well out to gut the Elky so it can go By-By as quickly as possible.

Making a winter to do list today. Looks like I will be tearing the car apart this winter again. Not looking forward to it.

Got the doghouse stripped. Gauge cluster and venting out. About another day and it be ready to ship to Hot Rod Heaven.

What are you doing that you're going to have to tear your car back apart this winter?

What all parts are you salvaging out of it? Does it have the SS or Malibu dash?

Dash is coming out, temp gauge and tach stop working. Im sure it's not a ground issue, and the tach worked funny when I got the car running and now it doesn't work at all. I also noticed yesterday the heater control plate cracked across the middle of it. The motor is leaking oil badly now. Not sure if I will have to pull it for a rear main yet or if it is a valve cover or the intake. I find no oil up high on the motor. Im hoping while the dash is out I can find an original dash bezel and replace the repro one. while it's out I will also get the radio working and finish installing under the dash lighting. Car only has 380 miles on it since I started driving it 3 years ago. I would drive it more if I wasn't leaking the oil under it.

Dash work
Motor oil leak
Might also put in a new wiring harness and fuse box while I have it apart again.

No it is a El Camino. I getting all the air conditioning vents, evaporator and condenser,all the underhood valving for the air. I needed a decent steering wheel to restore. Since 68 wheels were garbage basically for cracking, and there are no aftermarket wheels the horn button works with.I snatching the power steering for a back up. I needed the front sway bar. I needed one headliner rod, they dont make them either. Basically I needed a bunch of oddball 68 stuff they don't reproduce. So this bent in half car was perfect for my needs. I was just about to buy a running car to get this stuff off of. Better a total than trash a good car for the parts I needed tho.
I buying all new dash parts that they make that show for the SS stuff. Emblems and dash placard bezel etc etc. It was a 327 2 speed originally. I suspect the engine and trans were in the old chevy truck the guy had there. 327 in a 60 custom truck HUMMM wonder where that came from?

Looks like it has some usable parts on it. Doors, front clip, trim parts, etc
