    I'm quite impressed with the quality of your work. You seem to take the extra little steps that make the finished product that much nicer. Im not a fan of body swap vehicles. There are too many people just doing awful, awful work. What peaked my curiosity was the Elcamino. They are my favorite car. And making it an AWD is just making it awsome.

    This is whats great about youtube builds. You go to shows or whatever and see custom stuff, and you dont really fully understand how much time and thought went into it. Most people would think "oh this guy just threw a b series in an el camino." Not the fact you made an el camino body fit on a CRV chassis, extended the frame, ect. Its just cool to see what all goes into projects like these. Especially doing it all yourself in a home garage.

    This build is off the charts cool. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

    My uncle hasn't even driven a car for 5 years but he'd still have done it differently. Love the progress dude 👍

    After I win the giveaway for this el Camino …. I will move to the trailer park to make sure that this is done justice 😂😂😂
  • So sick! Jack Spania is an amazing company and that's a serious haul! Crazy to see the body work get done so fast too. Normally that gets sourced out in car builds. Def good call on new front wheels, I think that will make a big difference.

    What a wonderful Monday morning for me, a Bode build video to watch!

    “W for wumbo” is a W SpongeBob reference! I use it all the time!!! 😂
  • I know you're going to go 200% into this project,you never do yourself a disservice,its always above and beyond and this project deserves to be no different
  • This is some great work. Really enjoying the build on this project. If my uncle had an El Camino it would never be as cool as this one.
  • @Raindrops4891
    keeping the AC on my turbo k series was the best thing i ever did lol
  • I’m the guy that suggested actually going pro charger what I have to say that exhaust header and turbo flandge are work of art
  • @Blazer3695
    Its insane how great this is coming out! Its also crazy how quickly you’re getting it done. Awesome work🔥

    Wow, Under this hood there's some interesting going on, Adam. So we can expect some more wild ponies in the El Camino. Thanks for sharing and have a good one. Cheers Nico.
  • Love this build, i built a 1979 Elky in 1990. Keep up the good work!!
  • loving this build man. do what i did when i was younger when i was looking for wheels... hell of a lot easier today then my day. i took a picture of my car and then just used magnetizes. would fold the car at the center of the wheel line, then hold the picture up over my face to make the wheels line up and see what one i liked more. now a days its just copy and paste the wheel in any free editing software.
