THE END!
The El Camino project has been scrapped.
We found a bad spot in the frame, and the body was in far worse shape than originally thought.
It was time to step back and take a realistic view of what was being attempted with this car.
The decision was made to scrap the whole thing.

We ended up with a 5 gallon bucket full of this rust scale.
This was rotted through to the other side including the floor brace.
Everything was 'somewhat' fixable, but to what end?
.......it's an '83...........

It's not visible in this picture, but the right 'A' pillar was completely rusted through.
