    Anyone know of a 1959 Elcamino body shell that isn't rotted? We have one at the shop that was acid dipped and we only got back about 2/3 of it. We have all trim and front end sheetmetal, just need a solid shell. Anyone out west know of any?

    Don't go through that gallery seller, I've noticed that he sells them for twice what the yard would sell them for. Let me know if I can help. I am about 3 hours from there.
