Billet wheels are too "mini trucker" for me, kinda like Intro's.

We are getting real close to completing our end of the build on the Torino. Trying to finish up the twin turbo Camaro for SEMA got in the way of progress along with a big push to get the Fairlane ready for paint and another 2 projects completed in the final metal stages.

Rob has been patient and a good guy to work with, despite his choice in cars or motors. :unibrow: Rob's chassis should be back from powder coating any day now. Then it gets assembled and off to Cali. I'll post a few pics up when it arrives.

482supersnake 12-04-2012 09:40 AM

Rob how does the engine sit now in relation to how it sat in the original frame? Same? Up and forward? Back and lower? What are your plans for headers? Thanks

As long as you keep my car safely away from those LS motors you guys are all right :unibrow: No need to defend yourself on my thread, my build experience with RS has been great:D

Back and a little lower, nothing drastic since my firewall remained stock.

Blair Patrick has used the same header guy for 15+ years. He's in AZ. I'm going to have him build my headers. Same primary sizes and collector design we ran on the dyno.:unibrow:

The frame came back from powder coating this afternoon. The rest of the suspension components should be back on Monday or Tuesday then assembly can begin.

Between the chassis and my Dailey pan no wonder Phil said I should turn the car upside down. :rofl:
It should help me put that 700hp and 630ft lbs of torque to use.:D

When riding shotgun you will be given a choice between the pan or Depends.:cheers:

Your chassis is awesome BTW!


And I can't wait to ride in it. :cheers:

Phil and Jeremy under promised and the fab crew at RS over delivered. The one regret I have with working with RS is that when I was out there looking at the car I didn't personally thank each guy who had worked on my car :(

When it's done GW I'll take a turn with the pan and hand you the keys. Just think of it as a full figured Mustang. :rofl:

:cheers:

Roadster Shop 12-19-2012 05:23 PM

So, I guess that I owe this to Rob after all the abuse about his land yatch. We have the Torino next to a 67 Chevelle in the shop. I moved both cars so the front bumpers are even... and here is the difference in length. The Torino is only about a bumper longer than a 67 Chevelle.

Thanks Rob. Glad that we could be a part of the build. I will share your comments with the guys in the shop. I know they will appreciate it.
