    Looks Ok. Lots of snow up there in RI, but it got rustproofing. Only one slight mistake though. The V8 and I4 use the same Crossmember for motor mounts. The I6 is different (longer towards the front) You'd have a hard time getting a 302 in there with the I6 X. Otherwise, it looks and sounds like a good start for a resto. It's not a collector car though. TBird's Cougar might be eventually, but the F/Z's won't, except for the limited run Durango (275 or so), from 1978-9-ish. They're just so easy to drive, maintain and solid.

    For those that don't know what a 'Ford Durango' is, or think Norman has got his Fords confused with Dodges, here's what he's talking about, based off of a Fairmont Futura coupe, done by some aftermarket company. ( keep in mind that this was done after the Ranchero was discontinued. Chevy was still selling the El Camino at that time. )

    Getting ideas Andy? Camper on the back? :rofl2:
    We could tinker with an old Dodge Volare or a fairly clean 1963 Valiant 2 door I saw up near Garden City Mall?

    I'll bet with today's pickup truck beds that it wouldn't be all that hard to reproduce or make a better one.

    There's a guy with an el camino for sale a couple of blocks from here, but she's rusted out I think.

    I think the Valiant's a 2-door HT and is just waiting for somebody to knock on the door and offer to tow it away. The body looks repairable. but it's up on blocks, in front of the garage door. I think they were a framed car too. Not sure.

    El Caminos look alike. :yahoo: An El Valiante, now that's different! :rofl:
