Body Swap Project Takes an Unexpected Turn | Rust Issues, New Parts for my Shop Truck, & Boat Day?!

Check out Holley Performance’s summer clearance sale for great deals:
www.holley.com...
In this episode of the El Camino Honda body swap series, we kick things off by installing the hood on the El Camino. However, things take a turn when we discover rust that makes the hood unusable. After trying out some quick-release latches and not liking the result, I decide to order a new hood, which will save time and make the build even better in the end.
Taking a break from the build, I hit the water with a good friend, running up and down some local rivers. It’s great to relax and have some fun when we should be working!
Back in the garage, I turn my attention to my 1965 GMC 2500. I install a new set of valve covers and a matching air cleaner from Holley Performance. The new parts look awesome!
To wrap things up, we install a custom lip on the El Camino's front bumper by retrofitting a newer Chevy truck lip. It took some cutting and plastic welding, but we made it happen, and I couldn’t be happier with the result!

If you can find them, a set of Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport headlights can be used to convert to a composite headlight setup. Should fit the existing grille with just a couple of brackets made to attach to the existing core support.

When i was a very small child my dad had a white 63 Chevy with tool bodies in place of the stepside fenders. Maybe that's why i love your shop truck so much. I kinda want one now. Been watching you since you painted Kyle's hatch. Love the channel, keep being you bro. 💯

[@audreyleithes2994]

My number one channel first one i watch as soon as it pops up here in the UK.

[@njterrorsqd6]

Quickly becoming a favorite channel. Bode seems like a dude I’d like to kick back and do some burnouts with. And Elkys are my favorite car. Great stuff coming from this man.

[@BodeVision]

Welcome aboard!

[@levidbateman5174]

This build is looking really good!!! The valance off the bumper looks great too, you’ll get it figured out…

[@Keasbeysknight]

My uncle says it needs some sick 70s stripes. The ladies love 70s stripes

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Great progress on the car Adam. The boat is great with all the water out there in the Sunshine State. Dutch regards Nico.

[@JustinKapow]

Love the Camino, truck looks amazing, and enjoy the family time for summer!

[@rafaelv9957]

I think this would look amazing in an emerald low rider style paint job. Lots of pin stripes and glitter. Sheeeeesh.

[@frankfurther3828]

Nice boat, way better to own than a motorhome. El Ca-screamo

[@leonardwashington6456]

Btw you should definitely get Kyle's input on the turbo and drivetrain stuff. Also would love to see your boat in a vid with his K swap jet boat. The lip definitely needs a filler panel but i must say this build is taking shape better than i imagined.

[@aaront4494]

Great vid brother. The trucks are looking good and glad to see you taking some fun time in the boat.

[@rustymohr6652]

It's SUMMER TIME!! Can't touch this.. booat doomp doomp doomp 😂😂

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

The lip looks sick! Great for the price.

[@willmatic84]

It's crazy how rusted is the hood is 😂 I think the hood sould be a normal hood 🤔 the boat ride was cool and chilled #bodesqaud #projectcrmino

[@XLR8-1996]

So strange to hear El Camino with a rice grinding motor. Very cool

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Guessing the next boat will be the Cliché "Jet Boat w/ a custom Vinyl Wrap"?.....lol

[@jack002tuber]

Glad to see more progress. Looking good. I was thinking, isn't there a spring that pushes the hood up? Hope to see another video soon

[@watahyahknow]

you can add tention on the hoodpins , just put some springs on the stalks

[@rustysparks8645]

Nice combo video - El Hondomino - Boat - Shop Truck. Looking forward to another ace paintjob from BodeVision. 👍👍

[@briankrepps8015]

Love the front lip. I used a 70s van lip on a 70s ford truck. Nice touch

[@vancetippins7832]

Coming along nicely brother!

[@iwikeu]

Lola out here living her best life. Also you put them valve covers on crooked let me know if you want my Uncle to come by and show you how its done right.

loving this build and love your passion mate, Regards, Ron from Aus

[@timothymichaelsullivan4319]

Very cool project. Turbo charged might allow it to have a bit more pep. Enjoy your productions...

[@M.Boatwright]

Those valve covers and air cleaner are really nice, classy.

[@MrJeffmrogers]

Looking good man, liking the progress. some euro lights would look super dope in that grill, like from the newer cutlass or caprice models, maybe something else would fit too, not sure. Keep up the good work!

[@brentonpotter9996]

Killing it, brother

[@fopeezy3097]

1:32 That Eastwood tool you mentioned... It is a BEAST. You're going to love it.

[@TheTalonts]

Multiple companies make them now. Eastwood is $200, HF $150 ($90 Inside Track right now), Vevor about $90 on Amazon, no-name (Vevor clone?) about $80 on Amazon I think I've seen the sanding rolls for one more than once at a local returns bin store. Like an idiot, I didn't pick them up for when I finally get around to buying the tool.

[@fopeezy3097]

@@TheTalonts Cool, good to see more options. When I bought mine, Eastwood was the only I saw, but I used a buddy's for some paint removal before welding, and clean up, and I was BLOWN away. At the time, the Eastwood was the only one I saw, I got it for $180-ish.

[@dwaynecoomber6610]

Awsome stuff looking good great progress keep up the good work

[@chevymontmarlo]

I have a project idea!: 1980-1988 AMC Eagle Wagon or sedan (same wheel base) mated with a more modern awd car like maybe a subaru wagon or a trashed Tour X buick! Or some sort of Chrysler or jeep

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I always try to paint waterpumps, from ny the rust fast. Them inner fenders would look really nice satain black.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

I can’t wait for the paint and graphix‼️

[@mikedodge3910]

I hope to see the Boostedboiz helping you throw a turbo on this

[@travis.808]

It's not all about making money. You're doing it right. Be a great husband and father first. Money comes and goes. Family is a legacy.

[@bradleyslusser2279]

Your definitely good at what you do. I'm sure Kyle has a cheap turbo kit for you

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I love finned stuff... my k5 with 454, I have finned oil pan, valve covers and air cleaner... but mine are not painted... so I am going to paint yellow to match my blazer

[@williamgriffin5818]

I agree with the always easier said than done

[@appleapple3855]

Oh oh oh!!!! How about naming it "White Rice"?

[@davidbrumfield158]

Man I'm telling you by the Rust-Oleum aircraft paint remover buy it by the gallon spread it on let it set a minute or two and then it will scrape right off

A pair of 2 to 1 headers and give it true duel exhaust.

[@martinolivas319]

I’m loving this build and out of curiosity if and when you put this one up for grabs, I’d like to buy 4-5 tickets, so I’m curious if you would consider making each purchase for a different bode vision merchandise product

[@murcieme]

Maybe it's just the camera angle but check out the left rear wheel, it just looks like it's turning to the left slightly. Enjoying your channel.

[@richsmith6952]

Cool project keeps getting cooler! ❤️😎

[@sothernborn1]

You could spend ya a few hundred bucks on a couple dry pour concrete tires paths 8”x 12’ long and get off that sandy flo rida grass. You’ve heard of dry pour concrete right ? Ole dude down in Louisiana dry poured him an entire concrete pad and he had to import his own sand base lol..

Good call on the hood; sometimes you just gotta ask yourself 1) How long would it take me to fix it & 2) What's my time worth?!

[@ranknfileforge204]

Just awesome!!

Glad you liked it!

[@michaelcox609]

I'm hoping it's the camera angle bit it looks like the driver side tear tire is crooked. I'm loving the build though. Keep it up. I like your problem solving thought process.

[@BodeVision]

They all have a bit of camber that’ll need to be pulled out

[@mironeko3820]

Good call on the new hood

[@Kr8zyVids]

Boom!!! Keep at it

[@richcaseaxon]

Coming together really nice. So all hail the algorithm, are you going to keep the bumper chrome, or paint/wrap? If you extend the lower valance to the bottom of the fender you are getting awfully close to a Monte SS front end look...cheers, thanks for the videos.

[@sikz3506]

Hell yeah!

[@ronaldorivera9297]

Awsome video all of it

[@Phil-b3z]

Google " phase 3 GTHO " ford falcon they use a similar front lip design. Looking great

[@nosaint01]

awesome.

[@EvanMoon]

Normally, you would have to have a mullet to drive in El Camino. but with a Honda subframe and all that would you need to go buy a bubble tea?

[@buckbuchanan4810]

I keep calling it the “Hell Camino”

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

Still curious to see how you're going to add window wipers, but great progress indeed. It's gonna look good. Keep it going, man! 👍 0h !! And the angle on the rear wheels ... it looks to have a bit too much negative camber, or are looks deceiving on video?

[@01FozzyS]

Love the new additions to El Chapo,Adam! I did a similar thing on my Forester with a spoiler lip from a Jetta. It fit just right. Nice boat and tow truck!

[@BodeVision]

Thanks man! It’s just the way to go. Find something similar and make it work

[@indy007jones]

Another great video! can't wait to see the finished Hondamino. Boats are defiantly fun but as we all say safety first, you should make it a habit to wear life jackets.

[@Baddog6873]

Check out choo Choo customs for some ideas for that front lip .😊😊

[@TheTalonts]

Why didn't you just hit a boneyard for a hood latch out of a Honda or even a Chevy of the El Camino era and fit it in? With all the other crazy fitting you've done, that would be trivial. That hood wasn't a bad price at all! Cheaper than hoods on most new cars. The rectangular air filter could be used by anyone converting an older vehicle over, as it wouldn't be too hard to build a box for it feeding either a throttle body or a carb.

[@elminime1]

Cleetus's mullet front end and doors would look nice on the hondamino.
