We love hearing from all of you!
So as many of you have noticed, the weight added was 80, not 180......HAHAHAHA. Major brain fart on my part to not catch that while filming OR while editing. Glad yall are watching the video and paying attention :)
Kevin Does the door bar have to be.Angled like that for the rules or can it be contoured to the seat ?
Blame it for being on camera. Brain always forgets basic functions when mine is on.
Guessed (and I mean totally guessed) 75lbs. 🙂👍
Yep
Just got excited i will have the chance to correct you, then i see this… oh well another comment for the algorithm 😉
Any time I see a carburetor sitting on a big block instead of an injected LS it instantly makes my day a little better!
Glad to hear it was only 80lbs.
It’s a 72.
Thanks Kevin and the KSR team. Always great work. Love the video 🙏
Beautiful machine. Good work.
Thats a pretty car. I assume you're going to have the new hood painted to match the car?? Can I ask you who makes the digital dash? And was it something you made for it?? Or OEM fit for that yr of car?? I'd like to find something like that for the early 90's Chevy truck im working on, and get ride of the Star Wars looking gauges. Again, nice car.
@@Pyle81 What video did you watch? The hood matches the car perfectly. Obviously painted together. EDIT... Never mind. I see now. lol
@@mckrackin5324 there's a 4 inch cowl fiberglass replacing the 2 inch cowl steel hood to shave weight. Kevin shows it in the box towards end of video.
Easiest way to tell between a 71 and 72. 71 has split turn indicators in the front, where the 72 is one piece.
My stepdad had a 72 SS El Camino and gave it to my brother early 80’s. What a car that was. Love them
We as a family had a ‘69 396/375 hp El Camino SS as well as a ‘69 396/325 hp convertible Chevelle SS in the driveway.
In high school we didn’t care much for the single headlight cars that GM was pumping out due to lower hp ratings as this was the early stages of all the smog emissions BS being implemented. But here we are 40 years later and I can now appreciate that Elco, what a beautiful car! Good job Ralph!
Back in the late 70's when i got into Dirt Bikes , they had one of these 72 El Camino's as a race pick up for hauling bikes.. i wanted one then, and still want one now, if i hadnt spent 46 years racing , i could have had one LOL.
My parents owned one for years,had Crager Classics,KS G60's,F60's,looks just like it,vinyl top color and paint,exactly...wish I had it back!
That is the color orange I want on my 1957 Chevrolet Suburban!
She puuuuurrty!
Thanks for sharing her with us!
You only added 80 pounds! One of the best door setups I've seen.
maybe to early for addition. haha
Yep Kevin.... Time to brush up on your math.
Math is not my thing either . 😂
yeah 80 and im guessing the anti roll is 35 of that
Hey it happens to the best of us
Wow thats a nice looking car, I think Mullet needs door cards, oh and it sounds awesome, thanks Kevin for showing us 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
I absolutely love that color
She is a beautiful beast!
Man that car is beautiful. Orange is my favorite color and with those black racing stripes. She’s got it going on 😧
Holy hell that paint job! 😮😮
Also love the shaved door handles…
Can’t even get a finger in there 😝
Absolutely gorgeous El. Glad you Googled the difference between 3,536 and 3,616:)
LOL
Love the door bars! Great idea!
Thank you for the breakdown of elco💯🇺🇸🔥✌✌
I guessed 120lbs. Also got my shirt in yesterday!! Wore it today and was like heck yeah🤘🏻🤘🏻 Great shirt from a great guy!! Keep up the good work my friend!
Thanks so much!!
Beautiful camino, did we know you were an engine builder tooooo.. shouldn't surprize me. Another good video, thank you Kevin.
Can't wait to see some video on that c10
Fabrication at its finest
I love that color.
That is one sweet ride,and old school like me
Good morning Kevin yeah beautiful El co
Shows how much you pay attention to your audience that you then made a video on what we noticed and asked about very much appreciated, stunning elco and great work you have done on it as always
great job that runs so smooth
Nice work guys
That's some pretty paint on that ole elky
Big blocks are awesome! Gorgeous car!
Kevin you do beautiful work.
Thanks!
That's such a rad colour
I love the paint on that car, bad ass
I like the swing out bar on the cage to.
Nice job on that engine and the bars. You do good work....
Beautiful job excellent
That's 1 BEAUTIFUL car !!!
That intro was sounding sick!
Yes very sweet ride
Great video , thanks for sharing .
That thing is Bad ass.
Love your work Kevin
Good morning . This is the best way to start my day with Kevin . That is one Beautiful El Camino . This has turned into my Favorite Channel . Keep up the great work and Videos .
Yes a very pretty race car.. My 72' Camino although all primer is still just as pretty to me. It's the lines and stance.. Kinda like a 58' Corvette ... the best looking of all time.
@@parsonsenergy I agree . I like the 71 and 72 best . I don't care what people say they are a truck . 😀
TY for sharing this beautiful El Camino with us.
beautiful color
KEVIN Again another outstanding video thank you very much for your detailed explanation on your work AWESOME
It's a 72. It is very clean I had a few I had a 70SS it was a real LS6 4 speed car I also had a 72 SS402 automatic and a 70 non SS 400 and 66 327 I loved them all.thanks for the video
7:00 🤣 JH needs some of those for his Ranger.
That paint job is so incredibly pretty. Of mullet wasn’t already painted, I’d say get it painted like this car
I'm not a big fan of the gray on Mullet, I wish they did something a bit more wild.
@@garrettstevens2232 it's like marmite you either live it or hate it, I personally love that primer grey colour
Mullet needs a FF/MotionRaceworks/KSR theme paint job.
@@keepinitrealjj They could easily do a wrap.
Beautiful car alright!!! Thanks a bunch for the content 👌
Damn nice Elco Ralph!
I really like this one and I'm not taking anything away from Mullet or lawn dart and rest of the gang that come in and out of KSR's door. This one has the comforts I've grown to enjoy #1 is A/C! Lets not forget about the Aluminum headed Big Block because that's very cool to say the least. As usual the attention to detail is better then top notch everything looks like people involved cared about the final outcome! Thank you for showing us this one.
That thing is absolutely narley.
Kevin your work is absolutely amazing it is 2nd to none!
Beautiful truck/car!
El Caminos look so much better with the hoods on
That tube stand looks like such a great idea. I haven't built anything myself but always wondered about getting the top of the cage weld. This makes so much sense.
Another awsome video 📹 👌 👍
That's pretty light for that version of a El Camino, my fully trimmed out 1971 with AC, stereo and a 350/350 combo weighs 4200lbs... I've also got a 1967 with a 327/350 that tips in at 3200lbs which is a street car also.. Size does make a difference 8)
A glass hood, glass front, and rear bumpers, and a set of newer lighter wheels to drop the rotation weight a couple of few pounds per corner, and I think he'll be right back to running the numbers he was before the weight of the roll cage. Racing, you gotta love it! lol.
It will be back pretty close with just the hood.
@@KSRPerformanceFabrication Those hoods are heavy. But the hood weighs 80lbs, and the weight of the hinges and the latch assembly together is prob' around 20lbs. So I say once the glass hood is installed, pins and all, It will have deducted between 90-100lbs.
Edit: I have just seen where you said the added weight from the rollbar was only 80lbs.
So I believe after the glass hood is installed he will be where he started and maybe even 10lbs lighter. lol.
I can't wait to hear the numbers after the hood replacement to see how close I am. lol.
This car is terrifyingly nice.
Ty!
Gorgeous car. I love when we get to see the technical details and beautiful craftsmanship. Wondering about that upper radiator hose though- looks a little rough.
Man i just have never liked the fake AN braided hose clamps. Either rubber hose with a stainless T bolt clamp or for about a $150 get the 16an setup. It looks wrong, especially when the bypass to the neck looked so good in stainless hardline. Usually that looks trashy on a big block, but this one looks good
those door bars look sick
The EL Camino Channel!!!! new name suggestion HELL YA!!!
I was waiting for a before/after with the cutouts closed/open! That is a beautiful machine.
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. Even though I'll never be building my own I love to learn.
Come to KSR FOR ALL YOUR MATH NEEDS.
Awesome elco!
Looks like they told you already!!!!! Love your fab work!!!!!
What a cool and beautiful ride! Man, that kinda sucks he used going to lose the well done rally strips on the hood but I get wanting to shed a few pounds.
nice car! we had a 71 chevelle ss years ago i miss that car.
Dang, that's sweet
damn beautiful car inside and out. That digital dash is cool as.
Awesome Kev🏁✌️
Nice, nice, wish my 1970 looked as good. Great cars. Love seeing them on the roads.
A ginger mullet! Those are very hard to find in the wild
Not only is Kevin a great fabricator, but I love his attention to detail and his not just functional but looks good too 😊. Great work as always!!
Beautiful El Camino! Neat to see stuff like this that’s probably more of a “regular” guys hot rod. Very much enjoy seeing builds like Mullet, but cars like this super nice El Camino are just as interesting, at least to me. Thanks for the video, Kevin!
I'd like to know how much that paint cost. I don't think it's so regular honestly.
Badass car I was 18 when that was made 396 is a badass Motor for the time
That paint color is gorgeous
It never ceases to amaze me how what amounts to a fully functional, utilitarian machine can be such a piece of art as well.
The detail you get into in your videos is amazing! Great channel, great shop! I love watching like minded people. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for this vid, nice old skool look, sounds great, not to much of a weight difference considering... mechanical pump to, nice n quite..
Let's get Kevin up to a million. Let's go guys. Share and all that shit. 👍☝️
Yeesssssss please :)
LOVE the old school '72 styling! BEAUTIFUL car!!!
Damn another gorgeous El Camino……..whoopeeeeeeeeer…….Do your “Magic” Professor Kevin…….👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Great work Kevin! If I'm not mistaken 71 has split corner lights and 72 has single corner light. So by the looks thats a 72.... im not an expert though....
Super nice
Awesome that you built that motor 3 years ago and it's still rippin!
Most channels on here never get better but this one gets better every new video I look forward to your new videos
Great video to wake up to. Thanks Kevin for the most informative vids on RUclips.
Such a classic build. Love everything about it except the upper radiator hose.
that upper rad hose looks odd to me too... out of place with the rest of the car
I race a 1965 Dodge Dart gasser with a blown 402 and big shiela weights 4K lbs. 11.0 bracket car all day!
My first "cool" car... I was 17 with a 83 elcamino. Loved it. Keep up the good work Kevin 💪
Love that paint. My goodness. 5:22 lmao
14:40 sounds like the drum solo from "Hot for Teacher". Nice!
That paint tho!!! I was beginning to question my education with the scales, lol. K.S.R. quality build as per the norm.
the front blinkers, bumper and grill are from a 72 :)
77 lbs was my guess..Great job on the Roll Bar...Lookin Good!!!
KSR YOUR ELCOMINO head quarter's for all your ELCOMINO needs. 😆😆😆
What a gorgeous ride !😍
Love the content! I know it's a lot of work to edit and upload as often as you are. Thank you!
Some people don't seem to realise how much work it is to make these videos consistently
That Elco and Mullet are the 2 cleanest Elco ive seen in awhile
