Other "El Camino".

I came across this ad in Craigslist today and someone has made a Mopar "El Camino" out of Plymouth Satellite.

After I used Google Image search I found this blog: moparblog.com and there was yet an another conversion made from Dodge Demon:

I've seen few GM-made conversions but never a Mopar one. Now one with a Hemi, would that be awesome?

Air Lift 1000 air spring kit.

Air Lift 1000 air spring kit

"Air Lift adjustable air springs work with your existing suspension to give your vehicle more leveling support when you need it, so your vehicle is always level and stable. Proper weight distribution to all tires means more safety and a more comfortable ride as well. This results in:

Improved braking and steering: when all four tires are firmly on the ground, braking time and steering are both improved

Less sway: Air springs increase spring rate and vastly improve vehicle stability

Less bottoming out: Air springs provide adjustable load support to help prevent bottoming out on rough roads

Headlight aim: Only level and stable vehicles provide safe and proper headlight aiming

Less porpoising: Even vehicles which don’t squat when loaded can begin to “porpoise” vertically when towing heavy trailers. Adjustable air springs dramatically reduce this problem for a safer, more comfortable ride"

I had original air shock in the rear, but those leaked and didn't worked as those should have. When I bought the El Camino it came bed full of new and second hand parts, including a pair of Gabriel Red Ryder Gas shocks. I installed them last spring and those didn't improve the ride quality that much, it was better for sure, but I think springs has seen better days. I could go "All bag" but I don't want that kind of hassle with the compressor and "Stance", plus I don't have the money to go "all bag"!

I have an old radio/cassette player on dash but that doesn't work and I had speakers under dash pad, but I never really cared for the music that much on a car. Sweet sound of V8 has been all the music that we needed. Although sometimes it would be great to play Rock'n'Roll music but I don't want to cut out my dash to house a new modern radio/cassette player, but luckily there is this available as after market installation. It fits straight on the dash without cutting anything.

Then I need to think where to install speakers. I'm not installing them on a doors that's for sure. I am thinking on a small speakers on top of the dash pad and 2-way speakers behind seats. Either making a custom "floor mount" or building a wall in the back compartment. We'll have to see how this thing progress.
