Grille off.

Last time I was at the garage I did manage to take off the front bumper and now it was time to take off the grille. First I thought how to take of those fender extensions, I wasn't sure how much I need to disassemble. One is inside engine compartment and three screws are behind headlight bezels. So to reach those three you have to take those headlight bezels off and there you go. There is also two screws lower part of the extensions. I am not sure if you can remove those two screws and a plate when you have front bumper on.

Blue circle is available from inside engine compartment and for those red circles to gain access you have to take those headlight bezels off.

Pretty simple to take of those fender extensions and after both of them are off you can take off those six screws that hold the grille in place, two on each side and two in the middle. I guess I could also do a bit of modification to headlight surroundings since I do have H4 lamps on outer and it's pretty hard to reach now that everything is original, but a bit of cutting I could easily change lamps from inside engine compartment and not the way I am now used to, from the outside way.

I really should have written this right after I did this since I can't remember whole deal now and I missed few pictures, which I haven't re-shoot, since I haven't been in the garage for few weeks now. And I should've have planned more on how to and what to shoot before I pick up the screwdriver.

Front bumper off.

I have a better front bumper that came with the car from previous owner as he was starting to do restoration on this El Camino. I took me six years to finally change it. 

And at the same time I could install right kind of turning signal lights. It did came with amber lights as it was manufactured, but due to registration progress in Finland the company that handled whole thing from buying, shipping and registration in here had to change those lenses to clear to pass registration. It's illegal for car to have an amber lights pointing straight ahead that are constantly on as driving lights, turning signal can be amber of course, but because those act as dual purpose it had to be changed to get approved by registration.

 Thigh space and I needed flex head socket to reach out and of course it was really tight and I had to spray some CRC's rust/general lubrication on those bolts.

As the space was tight I could only loosen it less than tenth of the turn. So it took time and few impacts on my knuckles.

One down and three more to go. After all it wasn't that hard, just a bit of time, turning nut off a bit by bit.

Next step in my plan is to take of headlights, grille, hood, radiator, fenders, inner fenders and what else. I have a spare grille, which I have planned painting matte black and I think I am going to paint this one with body colour and black. And friend of mine has a spare cowl induction hood that is reserved to me.

One piece door window.

I've added a new item for my wish list:

I was searching for a vent window actuator and vent window seal for my El Camino and I founded this site selling a kit for 1968-1972 Chevy El Camino where you can get rid of the vent window altogether:

One piece door glass kit for 1968 - 1972 Chevy El Camino

"Includes: Kit includes tempered windows and installation parts for both driver and passenger side windows."

They don't have a much of selling points on their website, but cool thing is that they do have youtube channel where is a installing videos:

I got so side tracked while watching those videos that I made a #ElCamino youtube channel.
