Wanted to give special thanks to Ben at Street Rod Designs (http://www.streetroddesigns.com/) for this incredible rendering. This car has been decades in the making, going all the way back to high school in the early 70's. A friend of the family had ordered a 71 El Camino SS brand new with an optional custom color from Chevy. This was back in the day when you could do this. The color was a Cadillac special order called Nutmeg Firemist metallic. He went out of town for a couple weeks and left the car with me to drive. Cowl hood with black stripes, Cragar mags, black tonneau cover, I was in heaven. I've never forgotten that car and the rare color combo, and always wanted to do one for myself. I've attached a pic below of the color on a Yenko Nova.





The plan is to use a custom chassis from one of our vendors and as many parts as our supporting vendors can supply, and make this an official Lateral-G build. Just need the money tree to start growing so I can get started... :G-Dub:

Working with Ben on this project was awesome, completely painless. I highly recommend him for any artwork needs you may have.

No, this would have been around 1973/4 or so.
