I spent 2 years blocksanding and doing bodywork, and another year bolting parts on, to make a car, so I kind of have a little empathy for you.

Once I get the engine in and the car on the road, that attitude will change ;)

It's all about a little progress at a time. Having really good music in the garage helps too. :_party: :_party:

BTW the wife was talking about driving down the coast from here through Oregon, through to Socal (we did that drive many years ago) won't be this summer, though.

In case you need a daily driver, while you are working on your car, I found a pretty nice alternative for you;

Not a bad option but that is the biggest Torino of them all. 5 inches longer than mine with an inch more wheelbase. They also weight another 100-150lbs.:D

For a newer model Torino daily driver I'd opt for a 72 with a Cleveland.:thumbsup:

Now that is a land yacht! But that would be cool DD Rob :relax: Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!:thumbsup:

Never pass up a chance to post a Torino Picture.:twak:

Hey I have to finish one Torino before I buy another. Building this one may kill me. :faint:

I think they look pretty good as a PT car. Look GW I just posted another Torino pic.:poke:

I think it's time for another avatar change isn't it? I mean, you've had this one going for at least 24, maybe even 36 hours... ?

:headscratch:

Are you saying this as a friend or a moderator:headscratch:

60/40. :rules:

I went outside and was thinking of starting on my lower steering shaft firewall plate. It was only 98 here today but that was hot enough for me to lose motivation for today.

I did take a shot of the lower portion of my column. You notice I ordered my column as a collapsable style. Some may say it is overkill in a rack and pinion steering set up to have a collapsible column but for a few extra $$ I'd say better safe than sorry.:bitchslap:

In the Woodward catalogue they discuss always using a collapsable shaft no matter the steering system set up. I think I'll trust them on that one.

It's not an AN fitting or a Bracket so I believe it is an appropriate picture to post.:rolleyes:
