I am falling more in live with my El Camino daily. The 350 with a cam, glass paks, and 12-bolt posi are absolutely intoxicating. Working up to disc brakes all around and new suspension as soon as funds are available.

So to poll the masses, do I leave it at stock height


or drop it 2 inches?

and here is the relay panel I made. The design puts the lights (and most of the stock electrical panel) on their own relay and which are also controlled by the ignition, i.e., when the key turns off, the lights go out. No more walking away with them burning brightly

^^ now I will take this 911S with this chickie sitting in the passenger seat any day over any muscle car.

Mind you I lived thru the 60's and had a good friend with a 65 GTO, always hurt my neck on the throttle.

Totally agree, being a child of the 70 rode in plenty muscle cars.

Just not sure at 60 YO I need a big block Chevy... a fancy German GT would probably fit me better.
