Hi all.

Here is the project at my house.

Its a old el camino that needs some tlc and an additional 2 pistons would not hurt.

From what i can see the rust isnt to much....... Couse it rusted away. Front fender liners are bent, fenders have rusted trough on both sides, doors need some new plate, load bin needs a lot of plate. Tale gate is scrap, bonnet is bent ( hinge seezed up) front end needs some hammer work, cradle needs plate.
Grear links are a thing of the past as are the front suspension bushes and when all this is done the wiring is a nest. Only thing that works is the indicators and the interior fan.

It seems like my work is cut out. (pun intended)

Will keep you posted.
