Sneak peek whats up with The El Camino!
My back is aching and I really can't do too much at the moment for my El Camino. I still have gathered parts little by big and up coming winter I'll be doing some modification to my current out and in look. He are few sneak peek photos:
And on the other day we had so much raining in short period that it flooded to our garage. Janne was visiting our garage and took these photos and posted them on our garage's whatsup chat:

Little upgrades goes...
...long way. So, I had a spare time today and in our hall has been sitting a "new" steering wheel. Finally I took out the old one, which was quite horrible one. After few minutes of rememb
ering how this once again went, I had a old steering wheel out of the column. Then I thought that I could repair turn signal spring from left hand turn, so I had to dig deeper in the column. There was little fight when I was taking out steering wheel lock plate, since there is a tiny lock pin and it was tight. After that it was just taking all the items out and changing springs. Then putting all the things back in a backwards order. Then when I had to put back that steering wheel lock plate, I run in trouble. Since steering column is built so that it can flex a bit, as I was pinning that plate and pin back, whole column moved inwards, rendering my efforts useless.
Well, I have a helper living near by and I gave him a call and as soon he cruised down the street with his scooter. Little push and I was able to put that pin and plate in place. Then I just put everything back and had few test runs to see if steering wheel was zero'd in. "New" steering wheel feels like the right one, even thought it is from same era Nova, where I have replaced Nova-sign from the middle section with a Chevrolet-sign that was from my very first El Camino. It took only two hours and I did it all on the street, since I don't have that garage yet. So here it is.
