I haven’t done a lot with the El Camino in the last couple of weeks but I did repair the drivers side door striker. I don’t know if anybody picked up on the jury rigged repair the truck had in the picture of the floor repair, but I was kind of afraid of what I was going to find when I pulled the aluminum plate off.
The sheetmetal in the jamb was surprisingly good with only stress cracks and no rust…..the backing plate the holds the captive nut and reinforces the area was a different story. Having the Monte Carlo parts car sure came in handy again.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
