I had my car restored at Defenders Northwest LLC Gig Harbor, WA, but the service was unsatisfactory. The work was delayed, and some of the parts were still not functioning correctly. When I raised my concerns with the shop, they were dismissive and unhelpful. I would not recommend this shop for car restoration services.

An El Camino? Really? You guys just lost a lot of street credit. Any real car guy knows it’s a ‘70 Ranchero. I may have to unsubscribe if this keeps up.
the '64 Chey wagon is a '65
Awkward !?
El Camino???
Vehicle #1 is a Ford Ranchero, not a Chevy El Camino. Some experts you are.
Love the transformation photos of the “Ranchero”. I guess some folks have never seen one?
I think the first car is a Rancho not El Camino
