(not my video, or kid BTW, but I do sometime think that I should sit in the car and make vroom vroom noises, at least ;) )

I can't wait to check out Ben's designs.:thumbsup:

I don't think he's showing his full hand yet.

Wish I was going to PRI.:(

Damn, those are sweet

The Forgeline site has some pictures of the new line including the Laguna.:D

Just looked on their site for them (door panels), are they making them now?

Thanks, Joe

I like them :thumbsup:

I'm thinking the stock silver centers or similar may compliment the chrome trim?

Those wheels look perfect.

That's it!! That's the wheel Rob. :yes: Look no further. It will top of the Torino reall nice.:thumbsup:

+1 Those will look killer!

I dig those wheels!!! :thumbsup: :cheers: :cheers:

Question for you...does anybody make the 'talladega' front end for these cars? Or is that just a holy grail?

Not that I know of. The front bumper is just a rear bumper so that part is easy to find. Talladegas get sold now and then and aren't really that expensive. If you want that body style just keep your eyes open and one will pop up.

I like those new rims, Rob. I'd stay with a dark shade on them though to match the darker paint scheme.

Bead blast them and shoot them in matching matter green and they might work........or not.
:rolleyes:

I guess I'm going to be the one in the minority, but I'm not sold on those wheels for your car. They're a stunning design with a lot of thought and just as much fancy machine work to make all of the rounded shapes. I know the new Grip Equiped line seeks to blend elements of contemporary and vintage design, and that wheel is exactly that. However, for that reason I see it being much more at home on a retro styled late model car, like Karl's Parnelli Jones 302, or something with crazy modifications in the same vein as the Goolsby Mustang or Roadster Shop 'Vette, or a car that seeks more modern influence. I've always thought of your car being as being old school and devoid of attention getting billet in favor of some vintage stock car feel.

Ah hell, what do I know. :lol: Besides, it is your car!

I just can't justify the cost of INTROS. If I ran them I'd just be copying you anyway.:rofl:


Nope :)

Closer but still nope.:P

Whatever wheels I do with they will have no exposed hardware and they will be any color as long as it's black. The wheels won't jump out at you but they will be from a race proven vendor. The quality of them will have a certain amount of unavoidable bling. Not something that jumps at you from across a parking lot but when you look close you will see something special.:D

I saw these billet cup style wheels at SEMA. These were 18s but maybe they would do a 19 for my rear. They would fit the bill for sure.

I hear what Matt is saying and I can appreciate his point but I disagree. I hate retro wheels on modern cars. Haven't seen one yet that I think "works".

On the other hand, I think the wheel does a nice job of balance old vs new for Rob's "old and new" car... old motor and new chassis (even though most will not know it's there).

Altho that Nascar wheel is just too bad ass.

There.... my worthless opinion is done.

I SAY Silver Centers! :mad: :D

Is It Done Yet?????

I drive past a Mini dealership everyday, and this is what I was thinking of when I made the last post about the thinking that the wheels might be too contemporary-retro for the rest of your car. If my brain hadn't already made this association, I would probably be all over them, especially in black. The more I look at the black spokes with machined highlights, the more I'm starting to like the look of those Laguna wheels on the Torino. I'm still going to tell you that you have badass looking Mini Cooper wheels though. I can't unsee that association. :lol:

*edit* the more I see those wheels, the more I like them. I might have to get a set of mini look a likes for my fastback!

Black but no machine highlights the machined portion would be black. Any color as long as it's black.:D

star racing will make up to a 20" version of their wheels.

just a thought :P

Whatdya expect from a Ford guy.....

Exactly when did the name of this thread change??

It took a while but we finally have a worse name than Dead Pool.:lol:

Everybody gets dethroned once in a while :lol:

"Any colour - so long as it's black."
Henry Ford

Well you still found it.

The build doesn't have a name it's just a Torino. When it's finished it will have the factory Cobra badging without Torino badges like a Fairlane Cobra. It left the assembly line as a Torino so that's what it is. Like I said it doesn't have a name.

Now back to the thread name, if you think a Ford guy came up with the thread name change you're wrong. :unibrow:

Not familiar with them got a link :willy:

Well..... you said a mouthful there....




:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

^^^^^^ I like where this thread is going :thumbsup:

Has it always said 1969 Forino & Is it done yet??

So much more fun than just building silly cars... :rofl: :thumbsup:


I'm with Matt Man --- I like the wheels with the machined face on the spokes... but since it's a FORD and only has one color choice - then maybe the machined faces could be MATT black and the rest could be Henry Ford shiny black?

Sometimes I even surprise myself! :rofl:

I smell what you guys are stepping in :cool:


Thanks Jason

I still blame you and back halfing your car for me going over the deep end on my build.:wow:

It's all Siegs fault. Well maybe not but why not throw him under the bus:D

No it hasn't. You need to keep an eye on those Mods.

It's not even as close to being finished as Ron's :willy: I'll probably only get it on the road a few weeks before Dead Poo :rofl:

INTROS were your first great idea now this. :rofl:

LOL Rob, you're welcome :D
One thing leads to another, hot rodding is no exception!

One Ford deserves another Ford's wheels. :unibrow:

Those would work!

I think Intro makes a version these were copied from.:D

Greg is right, if you want the original leader in billet directional wheels, Intro is the only way to go.

Just check out the "quality" placement of the bolt pattern in this picture....
