This looks like it is going to be good. It already runs so...something else bad will happen.

That hood ornament is identical to the one that was on the family 83 Caprice wagon.

I am afraid to ask why the trans tunnel has a massive hole in it.......I think I know the answer. Though this is a TH350 so maybe it's not what I think.

That vintage electric water pump is whacky!!

"FEUL"

Also the rear window scene was pretty lol-worthy.

Oh man...they converted a 1/8 mile racer to 1/2 mile (4.88 to 3.08 gears) and then the 1/2 mile race didn't happen. You'll never guess what they did instead.

Random observation: Tony and Mike's chemistry was way better than last time. Maybe they aren't mortal enemies anymore.

Crazy how they make a decent episode out of arguably the least sought after El Camino... Granted it didn't start stock.
