Hello
Well, actually that's all I want to say. But while I'm at it; I grew up with the smells and sounds of my dad's V8 El Camino, and am currently on the prowl, looking for a similar model that I can restore and, 'improve'. No excessive wings and crap, just enough paint and power to frighten old ladies and terrify children
Looking forward to an educational (fun) time on African Muscle Cars!

Thanks for the welcomes
Shoebox, where do you live then? Oh that black rubbery stuff's actually just a clear matte topcoat, I'd probably stick to mainly oil slick black, nice 'n' shiny is the way to go. I just find it a little hard to get hold of a V8 model, and if I do, someone's already added a gazillion rands worth to it
