I think swapping the bottom panels was absolutely the right call, and worked out well for both cars. I like the idea of reusing the bottom carpet to break up the black, I think that will look a lot better.
All looks good and what you're doing. Gives me ideas as well.
You have an indomitable spirit Lee like the way you prioritize and work your way through things. The buckets turned out great and the rest of the interior looks a challenge that I'm sure you will overcome!
Thanks
the black and tan looks great!
Thanks
The interior continues to shape up real nice. Like the panels you installed. Glad you put the aftermarket panels in the black one. That works for both cars. Dye Color looks good on the parts you re-dyed. Look forward to next time!
Thanks
Looks pretty good,once again.
Thanks
Very good video I have the same lower panels want them on my 85 & 87. Keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
Man those black door panels look good!
Thanks
Can't wait ft your Junkyard tour.
The interior looks great! Maybe I’m OCD, but I think I’d spray the dash and new door panels the original color. Lol, cheers! 🍻
The black panels look great on the black car and the painted bottoms look great!
Thanks
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎. I am a big , big fan of two tone interior designs ! When working at Oldsmobile Dealer years age met GM Designers at that time we were toll it was cheaper to make . Yes where customers who wanted one color but not everyone ! Leave it to sales departments ( oh you can save money; CaCa ) you pay for interior anyway color makes a car ! Very nice job on your so far ! 😎👍😎👍👀. 🍻
95 degrees still huh should be cooling off a little bit for ya hopefully. That 110 crap has got to be brutal! Everything is looking sweet Lee see ya next time brother.
😉✌
It was one hot summer.
Looking good Lee enjoy your video s
Thanks
Nice job again 👍
Thanks
Awesome looking great
Thanks
Looks great Lee
Thanks
The ElCamino's are awesome. They are great american made car's
Looks awesome mate great work
Thanks
The black looks good with the black el camino
Looks good, you do good work.
Thanks
Nice job, can't wait to see the final results.
Thanks
Door panels look great on both El Caminos good job
Thanks
Like the way you work. Use whats available and make it better with what you find. I’m would call my self a drive way restorer. Especially now when my son comes home with objekts from the 60:th and 70:th. Don’t know were he gots the interest from 😂
Anyway. Hard to find parts and extensive, so we do like you, but in a smaller scale. Shorter season as well in northern Scandinavia. Keep on what you are doing. 😊/T
Great job! That SEM Camel spray paint looks very
good!
I really like the black and that's a great set of speakers I've heard of that brand but yes sir she's looking good
Thanks
door panels looks good that way...matches the dash..
Oh dang I forgot to say I think paint the black bottoms to match the top, and you could even do the speaker grills it would look really awesome the old color but new molded speaker panels. Only one like it. I love how good you made those arm rests look.
Either way you will have two nice El Camino’s
The lower panel looks good black
hi lee awesome work love watching and learning a lot of your skills i noticed the jams in both cars are like new no rust for being a original doors thank you for sharing. have a great day you and nikky door panel came out awesome
Thanks
you welcome lee
looking nice lee💯👍
Thanks
Masonite and flooring adhesive for the cards. I’ve restored the grain on plastic with JB weld and sandpaper. Spread it thin and lift the texture with a popsicle stick. Lift it off. It makes peaks then let it harden and sand it Dow and paint it.
Nice !!! 🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩👻🎃💀
My kid & I worked on an '85 for her 1st car in 2016/2017. Looking @ the spreadsheet, I for some reason still have, I gave 90 for the weather strips & 80 for the felts to a guy in here in the states. So, yeah, the prices are stupid now. Anyway, panels look nice 👌. I like the black, but maybe paint the armrest black. Looking forward to this thing being done.
Thanks
Hey lee if you cut some of that headliner material and stick in in the sides of them seats it would help with the wrinkles the sun will help some just trying to help 👀 good 👍
I think it look good either way remember that is a kick panel kinda sorta.
I think if you paint the speaker door panels the camel color they would look sharp
Moving the original door panels to the SS was a good call and they look great
You got it right Lee, all those wires and hoses are bullshit stuff…
The panels are gonna look great!
That tan paint came out good. On the black car, you should either paint the arm rests black or the new black plastic tan. Looks a lot off the way it is now.
Lee, don't run the cats off! The other day I was watching one of your video's and one of them was coughing up a fur ball! You can't script this stuff man! Keep it up.
BTW I think that metal piece that's melted on back of the panel gives it strength for closing the door with that hand hold...that's if you don't use the pull strap instead. I hope you find a way to use that metal piece. Otherwise your new panel may break on you when closing the door.
Lee, finish the camel color on the arm rests surrounds,,,,,Looks 100x Better!
You can get Velcro at the craft store that sticks. Maybe that would help you.
no craft stores close
Didn't know those newer El Camino the cubby hole with the full-length. Not like my 72 El Camino. I had to replace my floor in my cubby hole. But I had a panel that I could take off from the bed to do that. You don't in the newer ones.
That my son has a 87 square body pick up and I told him about the lower panel that you're putting on your El Camino with the dual speakers. Maybe they make something like that for square body pick up. I will share this video with him.
check on ebay
The door panels look Great on the whte car the black door panels look great on the black on too but I would psint them to match the top part
Thanks
I think you should spring for another can of paint.hit those black ones and give them one more coat.ever heard of spray 9 its the best anything remover it removes grease grime mold you should pick a bottle up. well thats about all..peace...
Hi Lee, i would put a piece of carpet in that bottom slot instead of that plastic cover it would look more original.
not enough left over carpet
Maybe put some tape or something over the big holes in the frame of the door to somewhat insulate and save the door panels.
Fiberglass resin to stiffen soft cardboard
Switch the insides. And use heating and air conditione silver crome metal tape for the 1/4" peice on doors.
Anytime you need to bond something together use panel bond for cars super strong
BROOOO !!!!! THOSE DOOR PANELS WITH MOLDED DOUBLE SPEACKER MOANTS OR F#&& BAD ASS !!! DO THEY MAKE THEM FOR A 3RD GEN CAMARO!✌🏻💗👍🏻OLD CHEVY NEVER DIE THEY GET MORE EXPENSIVE ✌🏻
check on ebay
You can get it's called foam board to use on the top of the door panel.
Maybe use the tan carpet you power washed and use it at the bottom. ?? Some double sided tape would probably hold the velcro for you.
You can go buy Velcro that has both sides at Wally world to attach that panel. I would like to put that in my El Camino 72 but my panel is 1 panel.
If you’re still looking for a tailgate and rear bumper for your elcamino I was watching puddins fab shops latest video, and he was at a junkyard that had a elcamino. I think he’s in Oklahoma
That junk yard is 4 1/2 hours from me, too far. Probably end up going to the Dallas area for parts.
I think you should change them out
Lee does that company that you got through lower panels from make any for different models of cars? I’m going to email you a link I found about “chroming” plastic it’s for model makers but some of them look awesome!!! I love the two projects at once thing you are awesome great idea!!
Just search on ebay
that 78 El Camino dashboard decal is like impossible to find -___-
yes, nobody makes them
yea finding them used super hard to find as well @@clunkersandclassics
Put a Bluetooth headunit and speakers in the 78
How did u screw the arm rest on
My ex-wife ordered a mahogany dining table from China $180 free shipping she said for that price she'd be stupid to not order it when it came in it was a antique mahogany dining table for a dollhouse it was only 4" tall and 6" long 😅

How did you disconnect the cable mirror from the finish plate/bezel?
small allen key
Rivets will work , JB will brake
Try rolling the windows down and see if they'll hit your speakers. I hope they don't.
they don't
do you have any seats for 78-80 elcamino for sale?
not good ones
Paint it
The black looks awful. The black plastic looks cheesy. Paint it tan . They sell covers for the pull straps . The glued on dash cover looks awful. I have put a cover on mine . You can not tell . Then again I took the dash out to do it . Must say the seat recover looks good . Some of your best work .
