Thanks Clint, My El Camino just got all of the glass put back in and it's second (and last) coat of primer. Hopefully it will be painted this week (finally!) and then all of the weatherstrips, moldings, emblems, bumpers, etc. have to be put back. Then I will bring it home but I will still need to do the carpet & padding, headliner, seat, swap out that doofy steering wheel, install the forward lighting & engine harnesses (from M&H), complete exhaust, brakes all around (for good measure), rear shocks & springs (front steering & suspension is done) and tires. All together, I'd say it will be in the body shop for at least two more weeks and then I will need at least a couple/few weeks to do the additional work. Hopefully we'll get some good weather and be able to drive it some before the winter starts to "precipitate", but with my luck I'll get it done just in time to put it away until spring.
