What to look for on a prospective Elcamino

[johnnys1977]

Check the frame really well. Around the area of the steering box, also just where it comes down to join the outer rails the arch over the rear end and the rails on out to the rear! Look for soft spots. Maybe a small hammer to tap and listen for it to not sound solid!
The lower cowl down at or below the lower hinges!
Then as has beeb said around the windshield, top and bottom! Seen a lot with roof rot too! Especially a vinyl or former vinyl roof Elky!
Around the rear window and the lower bulkhead panel where it meets the bed!
