Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Replaced the electric clock in the dash cluster with a voltmeter instead of hanging it off the bottom of the dash as you usually see...

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Rich, that's a well thought out installation.

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Very nice roll bar installation!
And I like the voltmeter, I have the stock (broken) clock there myself. |

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Those station wagon rear seat footwells work for more then just hidden storage. Good deal. Much better then through the window. IMHO.

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
Worked Friday and today getting the headliner and glass installed (a first for me).
     Late this afternoon after finishing the glass I decided to lower the engine into place to see if I had a set of headers on hand that would work for me. It soon became apparent something was wrong...I could not get the motor mount bolts in/aligned to save my life. I have had the engine in the truck many times and could easily drop it in by myself with zero difficulties. After about an hour of cussing and head scratching I spied something else I had not noticed since it returned home from the roll bar installation...the truck was leaning towards the driver side quiet a bit. Measurements revealed the driver side of the truck is about 3/4" lower than the passenger side. I can only guess at this point the welding/install of the roll bar has somehow caused this. I was able to loosen the engine frame mounts to finally get the motor mount bolts in, but that is a bandaide that does not address the real problem as it still has the lean. Not sure what to do at this point, but I know I won't satisfied with a vehicle heaved over to one side.
