I just
purchased a ’66 El Camino from the original owner, Central Texas car, very litle rust
& supposedly no bondo. as
you might expect, I have tons of questions. Any opinions offered are
appreciated, whether or not they are of actual
assistance.
The car is in
Dallas, I am in Phoenix. Any
suggestions as to how to get it from there to here? My brother-in-law, who has seen
& driven the car says the drive to Phx. isn’t a good idea, as the front
end has a great deal of play, & the brakes are weak.
Which brings me
to the next question. Does
anyone have a comprehensive list of the make, body style, & year of car
for a “low aggravation” disk brake conversion? In the past, I have successfully
converted 2 ’64 Chevy pickups over to disk brakes using junkyard parts, so I
am somewhat familiar with the drill.
Also, I own a Tool & Die Shop, so modifying tie rod ends or
whatever, isn’t a big deal. This El Camino will not be restored
to original, but rather be a daily driver, & not a show
car.
I can already
hear the groans about the disk brake issue (sorry), so i will end with
that.
Thanks for your
help.
