Cool Racer Shop Stool

Andy Friar · 07-15-2020, 02:52 PM

Went over to my Dad's to scale the Chevelle last night to get our baseline corner weights to start making changes over the next year or so. We had the gang over, ate some good grub, did some work and did a lot of bench racing too. Dad made the coolest shop stools. Old fuel cans, some stool tops off Amazon and furniture dolly's from Harbor Freight. I thought you guys on here might dig them.

The stools are neat, but I'd like to see more pics of the El Camino!

We cut the tops out and use them as neat garbage pails

Here you go Jeff. 71 ELCO with original paint still. Pretty stacked for options from the factory, 454, 4 spd & A/C car. I don't know the miles, but the car is clean. Dad freshened up the motor (to stock specs) and the trans and put new carpet in it. Just needed TLC. It was his friends cars that Dad bought from his wife after Rick passed ~4yrs ago. I only have a few pics of it.

Another pic of Dad's ELCO from the local cruise in his 1 Stoplight town last night. 100+ cars showed up!

I Bet the VP stool is faster than the Sunoco
