Default Duramax \ El Camino

Write now in the very begining stages and still trying to plan this out took a while to find a decent donor vehicle at a price I could afford this 06 cab and chassic was totaled but still driveable So I got to test before I buy . This will be a long slow affair . I Have the engine/ tranny pulled and the cab just about stripped still have the hydraboost to pull and tanks and sending units will have to see what i can use out of that . The Elky has the powertrain removed but will need much more work before I start . So here or some pics of my slow start.
