Last night my facebook.com/Camino70/ fan page hit 600 likes! That's awesome! A little over month ago I had around 450 likes and I haven't been promoting facebook fan page and it hit 500 likes in mid February and now it hit 600 likes! I mentioned that I need to make a something special for that 500th like, but I have been busy doing things that aren't related to my El Camino. And now it hit the 600th mark and I made post about doing something special, twice. So I now I have to think something special before we hit 700th like. Twice.
So, I haven't been garage since early February and I have some jobs to finish before this years driving season starts. No big jobs, but just those needs to be done before I hit the road again. And oh yeah, yearly inspection is also need to be done. That could have been avoided if I had done it last autumn but I rather drove around and postponed it till spring.
Weather is by the way awesome. I really should get those few jobs done so I can start the engine and cruise around back roads.

New year and new tricks? Part two.
As I wrote on part one that there are few things that I have been thinking of addressing this winter and after writing half way through on that post I noticed that I need second post to continue, to keep it light and not writing too long post. And plus I get "free post" as I split that originally planned long post in to pieces.
So, part one was mainly about exterior and this part two is about interior fixes. When I bought this El Camino it came with bed full of new or used parts and there was also used sweep dash.
I also bought an used one from Finland with kilometer per hour speedo, thinking of changing miles per hour speedo to it, but now I that am use to mph, I am not sure to whether to change it or not. At least it needs paint, desperately. And new lock on glove box.
Also I have been thinking of building a small console under dash to house few gauges and stuff. Since I have bench seat I can't do lengthy center console.
Sadly I haven't get back to garage to do what I have been mentioned above and earlier post.
You can see that A/C vent in the center of the dash? I installed it last summer. I've had it almost five years without it.

This is our 70-72 Chevelle and El Camino standard front spoiler.It is made from 22 gauge steel with a black satin finish. Comes with all mounting hardware and instructions.
This is a very popular Spoiler. Great muscle car look and helps with cooling."
I have been thinking of building my own and it's not that hard to manufacture by hand. But is saving 130$ + shipping worth it? Well, for me shipping cost are a bit too much, but combined shipping with other products and then it's quite low per product.
