El Camino Honda Body Swap Paint Reveal! | Hurricane Damage Cleanup & Full DIY Paint Job

WIN THE SHOP TRUCK
bodevision.big...
In this episode of the El Camino Honda body swap project, we go all out with a full DIY paint job on the El Camino, wrapping up some major work!
We start with some yard cleanup after Hurricane Helene damage in central Florida, but quickly get back to the shop to finish key steps for the build. You’ll watch as we:
Install and paint the hood (white underside)
Pressure wash the primer using degreaser soap and a maroon scuff pad
Mask off the El Camino for paint
Apply sealer for the full paint job
Lay down the Honda Championship white base coat
Finish with clear coat and reveal the fully painted El Camino
We even throw the wheels back on the car and pull it out for a full view of the transformation! Stick around for the entire process from start to finish, and be sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates on this never-before-seen all-wheel-drive Honda-powered El Camino body swap project.

For years it felt like hot rodding was dead, all the RWD body on frame vehicles have disappeared. It is so awesome to see people cutting up "modern" unibodies to build up something new. This, and a ton of other builds going on right now on youtube, are really great to watch.

[@chop_mane]

We can't do this is in NZ. Even a legit old school shell on frame car isn't that simple here. Our laws are so strict it's not even worth trying to modify your car anymore.

[@zezoner]

@@chop_manethat’s so sad.

[@ItsDaJax]

By the 60s, very few cars were even BOF.

[@davidayers7796]

We used crv parts to make an awd civic, using the whole crv to make an awd el camino is 🤯. Mad respect from TX!

[@sonnynoel4484]

it looks fantastic & it's one of the most unique body swaps on the internet

[@95flareside1]

Youve got a better eye than me, because white primer under white paint has NOT been my friend in the past lol

[@ForceFed]

The car looks so damn good Champ white. You gotta put at least one Type R badge somewhere just for the haters. I love it! 🤣

[@stevencraig6576]

Cleanest body swap on the internet very nicely done!!!

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Bro. You are an absolute savage in all parts of Fab and prep and paint. But, painting it always turns out beautiful.

[@FORDLYFAOTEAROA]

That base coat is going down and I can already tell this thing is looking ELITE. This is your best build yet

[@ronsonkawewehi7985]

I loving that championship white….looks amazing as always

[@mattbauman]

So much better. 5 extra colors might be wild...

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Came out so sick! I was confident it was going to be straight, but from how bad it was, the transformation is truly insane. The color looks great on that car too!

[@WillDawg103]

I love that you keep true to your original vision on these cars. I would have never built this car, but I now see the vision and it's so cool. Keep doing you Bode. I'm going to keep watching.

[@Rick-O-Shay60]

I've followed this project from its inception, more out of skepticism of how, why, would anyone pull this off. As the project progressed, you've certainly answered those questions, and more anticipating each new video to drop. The BodeVision is impressive. Good job man!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Glad to see you made it through the storm with just a little damage. Truck is looking GREAT!

[@kramenw]

A modern take of the bold 1970’s stripes would look sick on this El Camonda. Yellow, orange red and brown with an uptick. I look forward to the final finish dude. Killn it 👍🏽

[@russelllong2974]

Looks awesome! Still would've done the bed liner a red to match the Honda theme though...

[@TheMt94ss]

Very nice painting. You do so much with a tiny ‘paint booth’. Always fun to watch what comes out.

[@JustinKapow]

Holy smokes that paint job looks amazing. Heck of a before and after.

[@nicksilver3730]

I like the white it looks awesome. All I can say is love what you do. Who cares about the ones that don't. You do what makes you feel good and not what others think you should do . Love watching your content, keep up the great work.

[@HackDPlanet]

Classic Mugen colors!!

[@spaceodyssey0493]

Adam!!! Paint my whip! Lol

[@trueadrn]

Betty White returns!!!!

[@davidcolson6622]

Man. That is sharp! Glad the storm was kind to ya. It nailed me in Georgia, no power, but everyone is safe and well. Just had to take a break while I had cell service and blow some battery life on something good. Thanks man. Keep doing what you do and hook me up my wife needs a new vehicle after this storm. Be well man.

[@Gedden]

5 colors is exciting to hear!

[@honi-anndegnan7605]

What a fantastic job, Adam. Glad you are safe

[@PaintSociety]

Hell yea! That thing is looking fresh! Great color choice n paint job!

[@BodeVision]

Thanks man! Good ol NHO lol

[@MacsSpecialitiesProperties]

Glad you and your family were not badly impacted from the hurricane. Keep Killin it on the Honda Mino!

[@brentthomas712]

Damn!! Wasn't thinking about graphics. Now I'm really intrigued!!! More great paint laid 👌🏾

[@Phil-b3z]

Looking way decent comparing it to what you started with. Can't wait to see what ideas you have for finishing touches

[@CoopMauKona]

Glad to see your channel growing. You have your own style and more importantly your own high level skill. Keep it up.

[@bobwilliams9395]

Lookin good Bode! A little tip on the hood. While up push in Towards the windshield a bit and then down to close. It's going to be awesome.🤘🤘

[@SKBond-hs7xb]

You got me. I thought you put flames on it. I was so disappointed in you. Looks slick.

[@ricmorris6789]

That white really looks clean! As a custom car lover, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for graphics.

[@dadedubbledee]

That thang came out shweeeeeet. Great job

[@Dracale]

Just found this channel. This is awesome! Love this along with Tom Refurb's Masutangu. Take it to car shows and piss off all the guys that say "You have destroyed a beautiful machine." "Yea, that CRV was pretty nice."

[@Zone6G]

Great work man. Original as usual, and awesome body-man skills.

[@mikegarbrandt]

Incredible transformation Adam always kills it wow man keep at it thank you for all time you put into builds they never disappoint!

[@tommiitenley]

amazing looking car. love your videos. the car looks amazing in white.

[@stevec5657]

That turned out saweeet! Personally, I prefer clean looking classics, so I'd wait until you put the grill, headlights, bumpers and all the trim that you're planning to reinstall first. Then decide if any graphics are needed.

[@xjrrider6710]

Best channel out there. Love this stuff. My uncle loves it too 😉

[@RustyKnucks]

That's a dope ass ELC-RV gonna be sweet to hear and see u drive it!!

[@d1specdrifter]

🎉🎉🎉🎉baddassery yo. And be safe with the storm.

[@Gedden]

I love what you do and have watched every video for many years. A cheap solution to your timelapse banding is to just try different lights. 200 to 400 is so little in terms of the viewer experience!

[@joeldirn]

I look at that car and see a blue, red or gold version of the OEM "Royal/Black Knight" graphics package. Looking great so far!!

[@charliedc2A]

That's clean bro. Gonna be sick when done. Can't wait to see the graphics you go with. 🤜🤛

[@jimsubtle886]

Mr Adam. I wish every time you snapped a pic of your projects while in frame, that you spent a few frames of this youtube video featuring the actual picture from your phone. Larry Chen does this and I think it adds just that little more depth to the experience from this side of the wall. Thank you for another amazing video, I love this project so much!!

[@jimsubtle886]

Then you ended up doing just this towards the end of the video!! Nice episode brother

[@brianjacobs1241]

You are truly good at what you do

[@ishsiriram6646]

Awesome bro. Do what you like its yours. To bring back to life something that would have landed up in the junk yard is awesome. I enjoy what you do. Thank you for sharing. I have a '76 F100 on toyota hilux chassis, with A LEXUS V8 motor...from South AFRICA

[@joshuaennis4369]

Absolutely love the white! Super excited to see the finished product!

[@BigBeakBillionare]

Unreal dude, hats off !

[@01FozzyS]

Glad to hear you're all safe,Adam. Digging the Champ White on it!

[@ShadyJoesGarage]

It's going to have painted woodgrain down the side- I can see it already!

[@kennethhecht3354]

This is sick looking and sacrilegious all at the same time!😂😂😂

[@marlostewart1107]

Glad you guys in Florida are OK. That white paint is popping in the Sun.

[@seanwilliams3377]

yes, been waiting for this one

[@PeterFeltersnatch852]

So much RESPECT for you Bode! If you ever get upset about ANYTHING sll you gotta do is go to these KZbin comments and see how many ppl admire you and your WORK!🙏 You got the skills that pay the bills!🙏

[@JH.handiman]

lol just gotta say i love your intros. now back to the vid 🔥🔥

[@Mike.Romanoff]

I think I sick decal idea would be like an all black tribal design. Like a 90s tuner style almost like something out of need for speed Whatever you decide, the build looks great and I love it

[@chrisquintana3877]

Wish it was just the champion white, keep up the good work

[@chinky1269]

Dammmm, I can't wait for the next video!!!

[@thehotrodstation3313]

Our hat is off to ya. We definitely know what is like, trying to spray a car/ truck that long in a short shop. Did it for years. Keep grind'n

[@ianpearce7627]

Loving this build man..

[@KyleDeroche]

Some 90s splash designs would be pretty cool. Kinda a mix between the early hot rod flames and splash decals that were done on 90s cars

[@zezoner]

Looking so good man!

[@aaront4494]

Glad you all are good. 😊

[@erices1.6t]

Amazing work as always

[@norman7396]

I watch your videos All the time love the HondaMino and the Lincoford truck. As for the GMC shop truck I would love to have it. It sure would be handy for what I do. Sweet Job on All you do.Big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏 god bless.

[@ryanmcclendon3309]

Loooking gooood!😮 keep up the great work.👍💪

[@Jason.04]

I can't wait to see the finished paint job, epic build brother!!

[@RaymondParker-h2p]

If I could do things that fast I'd be a rock star

[@pinedeez]

Looks awesome man great job ! 🔥

[@victor440_]

Looks awesome 👍

[@Torch4ya]

Looks amazing!

[@HackDPlanet]

That gas door🔥🔥black trim is about to set it off even more!

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

Pumpkin Spice Flavored Hemorrhoid Cream. That's something new just in time for Fall!

[@wilahinely]

Nice work.

[@dcoffman6861]

A low profile cowl induction hood would look cool.

[@beyondmaintenance]

Looks really good all white. ✌🏽😎

[@Crespobuilt]

Some custom spec Vskf would look sweet on here

[@kseries20-24only]

Sooooooo sick!

[@MrWoodyBalto]

You made the game too easy. "Desert Fox" stripes inbound.

[@RaymondParker-h2p]

Beautiful paint job

[@BodeVision]

Thank you very much!

[@haymakerwpc]

Looks so good 💪

[@MadHonda-r1e]

Def looks good I wood keep it with Honda wheels,but I respect the process

[@M.Boatwright]

Never been a big fan of white cars even though I've owned some but some cars like this one look damn good white.

[@njterrorsqd6]

Elco time!!!! Oh yeaaa, just got home. Perfect timing.

[@rjoolson2768]

you killed it 👏

[@OKHall]

Its looking sweet. Great job on the paint.

[@waynejohnson3642]

Awesome build, came here because of the Boosted Boys, but stay for the interesting content.

[@AlteredCarbons]

never trust a fun fart after you just left the bathroom...

[@tylerriddle9502]

Hell yeah!

[@navigatingthedestination]

Killed it 👌

[@fillusrahim-xy9ib]

My opinion is with white background is better to do stickers or de cal ..... doesn't need to paint other colours...and also in the future you can change it 👌

[@isaiahtheman]

Man I hope you do those car meets in Sanford again so I can see this thing!

[@GSMMW]

Maybe do some kind of graphic; I like that orange tape color with the white; maybe some kind of creamsicle graphic; dripping ice-cream or something.

[@Smashy71-72]

Heck yeah

[@leeroyadams666]

Let’s goooooooo!!

[@GreaseyBongos]

Cant wait to see it finished this thing is sick, hopefully the windows get tinted at some point too 👍

[@seanthompson6720]

Fire graphic yes, but add a japanese flair like Ken doing a hadouken

[@IamBOBski]

What fks with me the most is the year model of the cruck
