- In this video I bring out the 1982 El Camino to see what it needs to be put back on the road, so I work on it and continue the build of the 78.

Lee you just reminded me I didn’t hook up my vent to the gas tank and I bet that’s why I’ve been having trouble. Thank you.
The czrpet and the console looks great!!!!
Thanks
Man i love your video's. I have had several el camino's and it is nice to see somebody get these repairs correct mine was trial and error.
Thanks
Cars coming good gonna be awesome when it's finished
Thanks
Hello Lee it is that "whole lotta little stuff" that counts. And you still covered a lot of ground. Take care.
You may know this already. I noticed the nicer cars you have under cover are parked on dirt. If you place some 2x10's down and drive up on them the tires won't dry rot. Or not dry rot as fast as leaving them on dirt. Keep it up. I enjoy watching and hearing your knowledge of the classics.
I really do like the black one 🖤I would love to see it back on the road you really do have some gems I'm glad i found your channel im properly enjoying your content your just a down to earth straight talking bloke and i do like that
Thanks
I like those door panels and I love a good sound system and myself I like the black man
Nice summary of work. Lots of small things that just need TLC. These all add up and previous owners give up. Fortunately Chevy very popular then, parts still can be found. Great discussion about too much gas tank pressure that overwhelms float bowl valve, flooding engine.
I like that you are keeping the SS stock. I wonder if with your skills if you can sand the chrome trim on the door panels and paint them to look like brushed aluminum. Great channel.
Awesome ❤❤❤
The metal piece clips in above ash tray it’s the ashtray light.
Man those cats love you, they follow you wherever you go. They should know just about as much about car than you do lol
They just want food
There is love there trust. You are all they know human wise
My 72 SS El Camino 350 four bolt main only to freeze plugs on each side. One freeze plug went out on the driver side front underneath the header that was hard enough to do and I put a rubber one in there and tighten that up then another one started leaking so I just pulled a motor replaced with brass soft plugs and for some reason there was a lot of gunk in the water system in the block so I had to do dush out which I think helped on the cooling.
I find a lot of good deals on speedway motors
Can you blow the vent line out with your air compressor? The EVAP canister itself could be saturated as well. If the loose hose you showed is the purge line, it should be routed to recover the vapors when the engine is running. If you search 1978 El Camino SS. evap canister hose routing, you should see how it was routed from the factory.
That's a limited slip rear diff. The console looks good!
I would paint the lower door panels and put some carpet on the infills.
I love elcamino but I have a 98 Chevy extended cab I figure I will just keep fixing up
I’d put the speaker door panels in the black car and use what’s taken off the black car for the SS
How about leaving those velcro inserts black and paint the rest the camel color. That should look pretty good
Those jugs that you used that have the rearend fluid in it if you stick a piece of hose on it that's like about 6 in long and makes it much easier.
Too bad about the paint on the black El Camino,but I bet you know a good paint guy :)
It would be neat once all done go for a ride in both El Camino's and see what the power difference is with the 1978 305 vs the 1982 with the 70's 350..Would make a good video,I think.
Paint the door panels to match
There are aftermarket gauges holders that fit on the side piller. If you keep the door panels black, the center console would look great black too. Looks good either way 👍
Good show Lee! Yeah I would paint those door covers to match.
That crossmember is aftermarket.. you can cut and weld a half circle into it.. but they cost about 300ish depending on if it’s jegs, summit or the eBay ones.. the car only came with single exhaust so the crossmember only has the bend in it for one pipe
Camel brown on the door panels would look better.
Looking good thanks for the show
Thanks
305’s don’t last? My ‘83 El Camino 305 has 275,000 and still going. Smokes when you crank it up but only uses about a quart every 3,000 miles. Never had the intake, oil pan, or timing cover off. My dad bought it in ‘86 with about 30,000 on it and we’ve used havoline 10w40 in it since.
Good job on yours coming along nicely.
there's always exceptions but most 305s I've had are done about 100k.
I keep all the trim the same color
Shifter looks great good job on the SS El Camino 1982 El camino looks great
Thanks
Lee, i would not put a scoop on it buy a cowl induction hood for it that would increase the value of the car ,those rivet on ones look bad.
too much money buying a whole hood
The black Camino has a really nice interior. Interesting story about how you bought it.
Hoods? Yeah definitely do something with the white one’s hood-replace it, scoop it, etc.
It's a factory crossmember off an earlier Chevy they bolt right in .
early chevy what?
Paint lower door panels to match. Do the separate lower inserts allow you to cover them with material?
Yup. I'd take any leftover carpet and glue it to them
cant you get chrome tape to put on that chrome piece??
I leave the lower part of the doors black it'll matched the black that's on your shifter console.
Are you aware that old lines will collapse and break will lock and after a little while they will bleed off and unlock
The factory knowa best sometimes
Have part's to
black one doesn't need repaint
Paint it up
Looking good, have you ever used the Oatey extra special medium black ABS cement, I bought some off Amazon or eBay and glued plastic back. I bought a sheet of ABS plastic to help melt together and I thank it might help you repair the plastic parts you have if you can’t find a set, They may have this at Lowe’s
Silver on top black on bottom. With red SS stickers. Kinda like a negative of the 82. And if you are going to repaint the 82 you can get all the color at once. I honestly don't know if it's cheaper or not. I just think they would look cool sitting next to each other with opposite paint jobs. I'm sure it's going to turn out awesome whatever color you go with. It's come a long way already.
You por-15 a lot of stuff. Where do you get it and how much and do you get it those pint cans. I bought a quart and it was $80. Last year.
ebay
Paint the lower door panels camel color. The rest of interior is camel. I think the camel color is really sharp when it’s fresh and new looking. Just look at the black Camino’s interior-it’s sharp!
If the brake calipers holding it's usually the rubber line is bad not caliper.
I was thinking that too
Yeah 4 hundred dollars on Lutty's Chevy Warehouse but if you want to do the hood it would be worth buying like i said it would increase your value when you go to sell. or just leave the stock hood the way it is.
$499 plus truck freight shipping which I can't get a quote from them but that's usually $300. Yeah, too much to spend, money I couldn't recoup when selling.
Jegs on ebay is $559 shipped, so a lot cheaper than Lutty's
I bet that cat knows what size motor it is.i cant wait to see the body work start...peace
Paint it please
I'm just a minute or so in so I don't know if u did it yet..For that mic, assuming it's still the metal kind, you can gorilla glue a magnet on there somewhere if ya don't wanna drill holes? Just an idea - She's lookin' great so far buddy 👍
Back to the build 😉
Ahh beat me to it I was thinking the same thing.
@@Nat_Sarimthey sell a mic leash ,can hang from rear view mirror
could you sneak a SMALL gauge in the cluster where the clock would be?? Oil gauge maybe...just a thought
Forgive me if I'm asking a stupid question, but could you repair your dash and then cover it with headliner material? I know you said it was relatively inexpensive. Thanks, love your work sir .
it wouldn't look good plus it would fade bad
So $15,000 for the white one?
not sure until it's done
10 grand to much 😅
@@trolllibtards2604 fastest car I ever had was a 1978 elcamino 383 stroker. I got the car in 1992 for 3700, came with the stock 305 , and for a 305:it was pretty punchy. But spun a bearing in it right away. In my area a restored elcamino goes for 20,000-30,000
Sweet! 🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔧🔩🔥
That's a 8.2 10 bolt that's in your SS El Camino
Sorry but it’s a 7.5 look up identification chevy rear pan images
Apparently the ss did not come from the factory with HOOD SCOOP SO YOU ASK PLEASE NO SCOOP
no it didn't but a choo choo edition did
I bet it your break line not your caliper
I think that was the problem
When you get them both and running you should line them up against each other it would be good to watch
Paint camel
How do you change the channel on the C.B. mounted down there like that?
controls are on radio
😎💯👍👍
Get a vented gas cap
Did you try the other t-stat location provided on that housing you bought? it may be a different angle * allow it to clear the T-stat...
it doesn't
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Is your reddish nova for sale
Fix the fan shroud with wire mesh tape and then fiberglass over the crack
bottom is missing anyway
Yawn
😅
