AT least this thread is about a car build... Looks great FT!!!

For some reason there are Torino pics in every thread EXCEPT this one today. :sieg:

So I just thought I'd say here that this Torino looks KILLER in person. The proportions are different and very cool from what we typically see around here and Rob worked hard (sometimes twice) to make those wheels and tires fit just right on there.

Did I just type all of that above? I am indeed a traitor.

:gitrdun:

It's a combination of the bromance and rose colored glasses. Snap out of it.:buttkick:

It does look great Rob. :flag2: Nice to see it off the trailer. :D

Hello...Siri? Look up Dave Gordon.

"Here's the contact info for Dave Gordon"

:hitaxeonthehead: :stirthepot:

Delete please.

This thread is lacking some Torino pictures isn't it.

:wow: DG be careful these guys will pull your Camaro card.:lmao: Thanks for the props. You too Todd.


I've been thinking about what this dam thing would look like on the ground for a couple years now. I have to thank Phil and Jeremy at RS for making the stance I had in my head come to life. For me it looks even better than I thought it would. Good enough for the hard core first gen guys to call a short truce and give it some love.

I'm glad I'm not billing myself for the hours of measuring, and remeasuring, and research, and changing my mind that I spent in picking the wheel and tire combo. :faint:

Now back to our regular Ford vs Chevy programming.

:cheers:

Moot point, but who'd you hire to photograph it?

Looks great Rob. :thumbsup:

David Pearson and Benny Parsons would approve. :cool:

Oooohhhhh.......That's not gonna buff out.....

So a bit of detail on what I've been up to lately.

First Cheryl and I knock over a couple banks to fund the deal. DG I took inspiration from your mauve jacket for the disguise.

A while back I posted the pictures below but without explanation.

When I ordered my wheels Travis Johnson from F43 told me about MSI racing in NC. They make custom wheel studs and lug nuts for all forms of racing including NASCAR.

Their stuff is machined in house to order and then heat treated and teflon coated. I didn't want the 12mm front 1/2" rear stud combo that you are usually stuck with when using a C6 front hub and a Speedway floater. So I ordered a set of 1/2 20 front studs for my C6 hubs from Curtis. I also ordered a matching set of studs for the rear hubs.

Kenny at Speedway was kind enough to swap me my hubs with studs for a fresh set without studs. I have been waiting for the studs for about a month. (I got stuck behind an order for 800 sets of studs).

I finally got the front hubs with the studs already pressed in and took the new rear studs and my hubs over to Bretts to borrow his press.

Then I loaded up my RAD10 Formula43 wheels and Micheline Pilot tires and went to the tire shop.

All mounted up and ready to get the car on the ground. The end result you've seen above.

Is that a respirator in the boot there?!?!?!?! What, pray tell, do you need a respirator in the car for??

Oh... never mind.... I don't even want to know....:disgusted:

Is that a real project update? :waveflag:

Wait, what??

:cheers:

Those don't look nearly hellaflush for a man of your refined taste. They do, however, look like a recipe for understeer.

:underchair:

:lol: I hear too little castor, excessive scrub and too narrow a rim for a tire can cause problems also.:underchair:

For now.:mock: :action-smiley-027:

:cheers:

I'm thinking putting the big ones in front would be one way to differentiate oneself from the Rad Rides Torino.

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps957d0fb7.jpg

Isnt this the view the naysayers will see at the track?:mock:

Just kidding guys, the Torino looks great Rob!

Been working on mine too lately after a six month hiatus.


http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0bf30be4.jpg

Rob, this ol' girl is looking bad azz! Glad you finally have her together to see what the next phase is. The stance is spot on. Phil is a great guy, I was glad to meet him while out there in July.

The FURD is lookn kick ass RobO :waveflag: :thumbsup:

Rob the stance,wheels and tires are bad ass! Nice work :thumbsup:

By my count this car showed up in no less than 5 threads yesterday, with the build thread being the last.

Maybe we oughta merge the whole site into one Torino blob thread? :ohsnap: :underchair:

...or Rob could give MattO advice on how to market his car :idea:

:lmao:

I did pick up on the fact that in the one shot -- the car spans TWO houses...


Just sayin'



:popcorn2:

Hey everyone called it big and ugly till they saw it on the ground. Maybe they are underestimating how well it will work as much as they underestimated how good it would look.:stirthepot:

And Now back to the regular Blue Oval vs Bowtie programming.



Thanks Chris. Remember us guys with the big girls gotta stick together.

Yea Phil, Jeremy and Neal are great people. :thumbsup: Anyone who gets to that part of the country must visit that shop. Amazing.

JerDog you need to come down and visit one day.
Jim. Thanks. Hope to see you at the Lat G gathering. Do you think Rick will show up?

That is a dam good idea Ron.


GW you are right it does make a big first impression:mock:

:cheers:

Rob, the car looks great.

Well I am a little bit biased though.

Very cool!

The Torino is lookin down right Killer.Alway's loved these car's.Just don't have the ball's to build one myself.Can't wait too see this one finished.

Looks BADA$$ Rob!

Will the Mods please change the title of this thread to "1969 House on Wheels".



:bitchslap: :wacko: :lol:

It is not so much a double wide as a double long. Still, the resemblance To the former is indeniable. They both need oversized trailers when you move them anywhere.

Scott I was going to call you but you were geographically undesirable.


Thanks. I didn't want to disappoint the Torino crowd. Jason I keep reminding you that your DSE back half project was an inspiration for me to move forward with mine.:D

Thanks Scott. That means a lot coming from a guy who builds some really sweet cars. That Chevelle with the 315s on the front is something to admire.:thumbsup:

OK GW so I'll take that as you LOVE IT. Thanks.:mock:

Yea who do I know with a BIG trailer? :idea: :idea:

:y0!: GW when she is track ready can I hitch a ride?:excited:

:cheers:

car really looks good Rob,I like these year Torinos

That's geographically handicapped thank you. :mock:

GW's rig does have weight limitations.
:whistling:

Gotta admit Rob, your car is looking awesome!
