Hi Lee, Congrats on your purchase- Best of luck with the car..
When I was a kid, I had a '79 El Camino SS. You can see a pic of it here: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jbiii/79_elcamino_ss.jpg I know alot of the guys here like the older versions of the El, my personal favorite is the '59- However, it's still a nice car to have, and done right I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. The beauty of the car is, it most likely has the 305 or 350 in it, which once you've learned how to work on one SBC, you basically get the jist of how to work on them all (with suddle differences). The gang here is a definite wealth of knowledge to help you out with your car. These guys helped me get my '66 back together at a time when I still had ALOT to learn (actually, still do but....). I'm forever in their debt. Best of luck w/your car, and keep us updated.
