In this episode of the El Camino Honda body swap series, we kick things off by installing the hood on the El Camino. However, things take a turn when we discover rust that makes the hood unusable. After trying out some quick-release latches and not liking the result, I decide to order a new hood, which will save time and make the build even better in the end.
Taking a break from the build, I hit the water with a good friend, running up and down some local rivers. It’s great to relax and have some fun when we should be working!
Back in the garage, I turn my attention to my 1965 GMC 2500. I install a new set of valve covers and a matching air cleaner from Holley Performance. The new parts look awesome!
To wrap things up, we install a custom lip on the El Camino's front bumper by retrofitting a newer Chevy truck lip. It took some cutting and plastic welding, but we made it happen, and I couldn’t be happier with the result!
Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates on our builds!
If you can find them, a set of Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport headlights can be used to convert to a composite headlight setup. Should fit the existing grille with just a couple of brackets made to attach to the existing core support.
Welcome to BOATY VISION.
I see what you did there 😂😂
😂😂😂
Every G body needs a fiberglass cowl hood
My number one channel first one i watch as soon as it pops up here in the UK.
When i was a very small child my dad had a white 63 Chevy with tool bodies in place of the stepside fenders. Maybe that's why i love your shop truck so much. I kinda want one now. Been watching you since you painted Kyle's hatch. Love the channel, keep being you bro. 💯
This build is looking really good!!! The valance off the bumper looks great too, you’ll get it figured out…
Great progress on the car Adam. The boat is great with all the water out there in the Sunshine State. Dutch regards Nico.
My uncle says it needs some sick 70s stripes. The ladies love 70s stripes
Quickly becoming a favorite channel. Bode seems like a dude I’d like to kick back and do some burnouts with. And Elkys are my favorite car. Great stuff coming from this man.
Welcome aboard!
Love the Camino, truck looks amazing, and enjoy the family time for summer!
Great vid brother. The trucks are looking good and glad to see you taking some fun time in the boat.
It's SUMMER TIME!! Can't touch this.. booat doomp doomp doomp 😂😂
I think this would look amazing in an emerald low rider style paint job. Lots of pin stripes and glitter. Sheeeeesh.
Glad to see more progress. Looking good. I was thinking, isn't there a spring that pushes the hood up? Hope to see another video soon
Nice boat, way better to own than a motorhome. El Ca-screamo
The lip looks sick! Great for the price.
you can add tention on the hoodpins , just put some springs on the stalks
So strange to hear El Camino with a rice grinding motor. Very cool
All good stuff! The St. Johns is a beautiful river.
Love it. Can’t wait to see what you do for the paint and body.
Coming along nicely brother!
Btw you should definitely get Kyle's input on the turbo and drivetrain stuff. Also would love to see your boat in a vid with his K swap jet boat. The lip definitely needs a filler panel but i must say this build is taking shape better than i imagined.
1:32 That Eastwood tool you mentioned... It is a BEAST. You're going to love it.
Multiple companies make them now. Eastwood is $200, HF $150 ($90 Inside Track right now), Vevor about $90 on Amazon, no-name (Vevor clone?) about $80 on Amazon
I think I've seen the sanding rolls for one more than once at a local returns bin store. Like an idiot, I didn't pick them up for when I finally get around to buying the tool.
@@TheTalonts Cool, good to see more options. When I bought mine, Eastwood was the only I saw, but I used a buddy's for some paint removal before welding, and clean up, and I was BLOWN away.
At the time, the Eastwood was the only one I saw, I got it for $180-ish.
Nice combo video - El Hondomino - Boat - Shop Truck.
Looking forward to another ace paintjob from BodeVision. 👍👍
Love the front lip. I used a 70s van lip on a 70s ford truck. Nice touch
Guessing the next boat will be the Cliché "Jet Boat w/ a custom Vinyl Wrap"?.....lol
loving this build and love your passion mate, Regards, Ron from Aus
I agree with the always easier said than done
your dog reminds me of my border collie Bella, We had her for 14 yrs, man i miss my buddy.
Awsome stuff looking good great progress keep up the good work
Killing it, brother
It's crazy how rusted is the hood is 😂 I think the hood sould be a normal hood 🤔 the boat ride was cool and chilled #bodesqaud #projectcrmino
Uncle needs to step out up, Uncle getting outshined over here!
Those valve covers and air cleaner are really nice, classy.
I hope to see the Boostedboiz helping you throw a turbo on this
Check out 70s and 80s lowrider paint for ideas!
Love your work man.
I can’t wait for the paint and graphix‼️
Very cool project. Turbo charged might allow it to have a bit more pep. Enjoy your productions...
Lola out here living her best life. Also you put them valve covers on crooked let me know if you want my Uncle to come by and show you how its done right.
Looking good man, liking the progress. some euro lights would look super dope in that grill, like from the newer cutlass or caprice models, maybe something else would fit too, not sure. Keep up the good work!
27:37 Plastic yard edging, MCM style 😏👍
Strike 3 Adam calls space Odyssey and we go take out the haters. Wuhwuhwuhwelcome to bodevision!
I always try to paint waterpumps, from ny the rust fast. Them inner fenders would look really nice satain black.
Oh oh oh!!!! How about naming it "White Rice"?
Your definitely good at what you do. I'm sure Kyle has a cheap turbo kit for you
A pair of 2 to 1 headers and give it true duel exhaust.
Man I'm telling you by the Rust-Oleum aircraft paint remover buy it by the gallon spread it on let it set a minute or two and then it will scrape right off
awesome.
I love finned stuff... my k5 with 454, I have finned oil pan, valve covers and air cleaner... but mine are not painted... so I am going to paint yellow to match my blazer
Just awesome!!
Glad you liked it!
I have a project idea!: 1980-1988 AMC Eagle Wagon or sedan (same wheel base) mated with a more modern awd car like maybe a subaru wagon or a trashed Tour X buick! Or some sort of Chrysler or jeep
It's not all about making money. You're doing it right. Be a great husband and father first. Money comes and goes. Family is a legacy.
You should go metallic chocolate or soft root beer
Good call on the new hood
Hell yeah!
Cool project keeps getting cooler! ❤️😎
I’m loving this build and out of curiosity if and when you put this one up for grabs, I’d like to buy 4-5 tickets, so I’m curious if you would consider making each purchase for a different bode vision merchandise product
Praying for you that the hood doesn't come bent🙏🙏
Awesome
i love this car, but these tunes make me really miss and long for some oldschool hiphop beats
Awsome video all of it
Lookin sweet so far bro !
My uncle said it's not low enough.waiting on the turbski🔥
Hard to get the suv down to the ground
@@BodeVision maybe some lower profile tires? just another inch
You could spend ya a few hundred bucks on a couple dry pour concrete tires paths 8”x 12’ long and get off that sandy flo rida grass. You’ve heard of dry pour concrete right ? Ole dude down in Louisiana dry poured him an entire concrete pad and he had to import his own sand base lol..
ahhh, plastic welding. reliving the ek/dc bumper. spoon paint theme 😆... 🤔
I keep calling it the “Hell Camino”
Good call on the hood; sometimes you just gotta ask yourself 1) How long would it take me to fix it & 2) What's my time worth?!
The proper name for is the L Hondo
ElC R' Vino would be a good name for the list lol (pronounced elk-are-veeno)
Boom!!! Keep at it
Maybe it's just the camera angle but check out the left rear wheel, it just looks like it's turning to the left slightly. Enjoying your channel.
Coming together really nice. So all hail the algorithm, are you going to keep the bumper chrome, or paint/wrap? If you extend the lower valance to the bottom of the fender you are getting awfully close to a Monte SS front end look...cheers, thanks for the videos.
I'm hoping it's the camera angle bit it looks like the driver side tear tire is crooked. I'm loving the build though. Keep it up. I like your problem solving thought process.
They all have a bit of camber that’ll need to be pulled out
Ayo hondomino 🎉
Normally, you would have to have a mullet to drive in El Camino. but with a Honda subframe and all that would you need to go buy a bubble tea?
🔥🔥🔥 content as always keep the projects rolling but remember family first my Guy
Another great video! can't wait to see the finished Hondamino. Boats are defiantly fun but as we all say safety first, you should make it a habit to wear life jackets.
Love the new additions to El Chapo,Adam! I did a similar thing on my Forester with a spoiler lip from a Jetta. It fit just right.
Nice boat and tow truck!
Thanks man! It’s just the way to go. Find something similar and make it work
Very cool
Still curious to see how you're going to add window wipers, but great progress indeed. It's gonna look good. Keep it going, man! 👍 0h !! And the angle on the rear wheels ... it looks to have a bit too much negative camber, or are looks deceiving on video?
Trucking is looking really good now. It will be killer when finished.
Please tell me your gonna fix the rear camber, looks a little goofy imo. Anyhow love the build series has I am a Honda fan and like the elco aswell.
Check out choo Choo customs for some ideas for that front lip .😊😊
Google " phase 3 GTHO " ford falcon they use a similar front lip design. Looking great
I call it El Cahonda
Can't wait to see the turbo kit and hopefully some passes on a dyno!
Like it a lot!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❗️
How about trying something different reach out to Pro charger? See what they might have for Honda.
That’s a good call
Kutgw! Looking good!👍
Why didn't you just hit a boneyard for a hood latch out of a Honda or even a Chevy of the El Camino era and fit it in? With all the other crazy fitting you've done, that would be trivial.
That hood wasn't a bad price at all! Cheaper than hoods on most new cars.
The rectangular air filter could be used by anyone converting an older vehicle over, as it wouldn't be too hard to build a box for it feeding either a throttle body or a carb.
Cleetus's mullet front end and doors would look nice on the hondamino.
funny thing i remember those in high-school they sucked at driving your improving it lol
Just bought some holley goodies after watching your video. But it says back ordered 😢😢
El K-RVino🤔
EL HONDINO
mid engine del sol pls
Did anybody else see the snake in the water?
What happens at strike 3?
What do I do with my handS?
