Very nice, didn't realize those were frame deals.
No unibody for the El Caminos?

Nope, full frame. This is the first exposure to a full frame car I've ever worked on. Alot easier to fab on when the body is off.

How's the body mount, rubber biscuits?
I'm guessing you upgrade that weak spot?

Factory rubber mounts have been replaced with aluminum mounts.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. The work looks great but the rear frame rails look pretty thin after being cut over the wheel arch OR maybe I am over thinking it?

Even narrowed, the frame rails are fine. It's pretty much what you have to do to fit a tire under a G-body. Plus, once the body gets bolted back onto the chassis, and the roll cage bars get implemented, it's more than strong.

All of the additional tubing in the rear, even with the notching, it is probably stronger than it was from the factory.

Nice work as always Steff

Looking good!
Not to be a DB, but could you make more power with same budget doing a LS motor?

No Duchebaggery taken. And Sure.. Could have left the 305 and Metric 200 in it also. , But what's the fun of being different and a Mopar fan? .

If anyway wishes to finance an LS in this, Please Paypal me. 80mopar@sbcglobalgoo.net .... I have a 4 Year Old Nephew that is looking to build his first Engine.

Huge shootout to SteffCo Racing for building this Bullet and Chassis. Front to back, top to bottom.

Why did you choose that body style and brand to build?

I can remember when the 1959 El Camino came out, same on the 1960 then no more until the 1964s came out in the Chevel line shruggy confused
My Son in Law had one that looks like yours for a short while, it might have been a GMC version though, CRS whiney

Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
