In the 1980s he formed a controversial creative and business partnership with his psychologist, Eugene Landy, and relaunched his solo career with the album Brian Wilson (1988). His first comeback, divisive among fans, yielded the would-be solo effort The Beach Boys Love You (1977). As he declined professionally and psychologically in the late 1960s, his contributions to the band diminished, and legends grew around his lifestyle of seclusion, overeating, and drug abuse.

Day is in the process of repairing the engine, transmission, and parts of the drivetrain from the ELCO to transplant into the new, more purpose-built car that is yet to be named.Brian Douglas Wilson (born June 20, 1942) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who co-founded the Beach Boys.

Day on Thursday upped the ante a bit, commenting, “This thing gets above $25,000 I’ll come cook and serve a steak dinner live on my Facebook with my damn race suit on. The eBay auction, with eight days remaining, has already received 100 bids and is up to a staggering $10,600.

It’s something I tried to fight for a long time, but I’ve accepted that’s how I am. “I’m either gonna’ really make it in my life, or I’m gonna’ be nothing. “I’m an all-or-nothing guy,” Day Told Dragzine in a 2018 interview. Day has spent the months since working to pick up the pieces and plot his return. The incident left the ELCO in ruins - the body, chassis, engine, turbochargers, virtually all of it a compete loss.

While it was certainly no secret prior to its airing on the Discovery Channel Monday night, “Kamikaze” Chris Day’s devastating ordeal behind the wheel of the fan-favorite “ELCO” was put on display for the world to see on a brand new episode of “Street Outlaws”.
