Still waiting by the curb for my ride...

Mario

I am not going to look back through the 2000+ post but I'll bet I get at least a 10% actual content and technical. So I bet 200 our of 2000:lol:

It seems I have ignored this thread for a while. Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy 50th back in August. :thankyou: I appreciate the thought and the ability to apply for an AARP card.

Progress:rolleyes: :headscratch: the date of my next progress update hmm I'm :EmoteClueless:

I have not abandoned this project.
I am not changing direction on this project
I have not run into financial trouble that keeps me from moving forward.
I have not lost motivation to complete my vision of the Ultimate rendition of a Torino and Homage to the hey days of NASCAR and the Ford Sideoiler FE.

Work has kept me living away from home since May. With me in Northern CA and my car and home in Southern CA when I am home there are other priorities that come first before my hobbies so the car has just sat. :bang:

I also missed one of the best Indian Summers of 70+ deg water and solid surf while I have been away.:bang:

I am hoping this work assignment is resolved within the next month (or i become independently wealthy through one of these lotto tickets) and I can get my hobbies back on track including this build.

I can guarantee I will move forward this year but I can also guarantee you will not see any updates on my Torino for the next few months.

Thanks for making my build the most popular Torino on the site:lol:

:cheers:

Very cool and unique project:cheers:

Fe Torino
 

Rob
Are you working in the Bay Area
Have my shop in Campbell ca
Where we do work on cars from time

Let me know if you need a car fix
If you are nearby.

Panteracer NorCal Bob

Good update Rob! Even if it is just a grab bag of excuses...


Very nice invite to Rob, Bob.... (does that sound like a southern name?)



Vegas is right -- it's a bad ass project. I hope I live long enough to see it completed.

We're pullin' for ya GW.

Live long, live strong!

:D

Well at least we got some kind of update!! :hello: Rob don't forget to have some fun every once and a while!! All work and no play makes for a and day!!! :RunninDog: :hello:

Fe Torino
 

Rob and I will do a car
thing in the next couple of weeks
It is the only thing that keeps me going

I am hurrying to run my cars as much
as possible before I am too old to climb in:)

Panteracer

^^^^ PFFFFFFFT YOU'RE NEVER TO OLD TO GET IN :hello:

Rob I don't care about any of your myriad of excuses.... just get that thing ready by 2016 for the UFUA and RTTGFY inaugural events.

And if you have to ask.... well....

:military: Done :cheers:

Rob, glad your still kicking!! I was about ready to start :poke: you about the car. Then, I figured everyone else would get to it before me... Yep. When you said your in "Northern California" I thought I might be able to give you crap in person. Unfortunately, California doesn't stop at the Bay Area.....:snapout:

:underchair:

Debatable what it means, but on this site ya got way more GM products in the pro-jackstand class then FErds...

:D

I do find it ironic that port issues have stifled progress here.

^^^^^^

ohhhh sure blame the unions and the media induced workers slow down. sheesh


I thought Fab53 has it?

Ok Batter up, Greg:weld:s input is next, :popcorn2: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Poor Rob :peepwall:

I love this thread... it makes my thread look so much less worse! :sieg:

Hi Rob.

I'm texting with him now --- he'd rather play with stereo gear -- which IMHO is far better than the SOUP pictures Sieg texts while his car has needed rear brakes etc for 30 years.... So the text train is plugged with home made soup and Pre amp pictures.... Thank gawd Flashy Thingy hasn't posted any dirty diaper pics.

I can't believe that text train is still going...:lol: Some are all talk, no action. :action-smiley-027:

Hey, Pro Tinkering Camaro's don't happen overnight..........obviously neither do Pro Touring Torino's or 'street legal' Pro Something Camaro's. :hello:

Some days the texts are measured in triple digits.... some days they're 1,000's


I've come to accept it as a way of life.

Crazy Greg, how well you learn to ignore your pocket vibrating. That being said, I want to see some Torino pictures, I don't care what they look like, or how many boxes are stacked on top of her. I WANT SOME PICS!!!

I think now a days it's.... all type and no action.

Is this heap running yet!!??!!:RunninDog:

True, talking takes more effort. :lol:

Hey mines finally running...Just finishing up the Ram Air

Not as high quality as Rob's, but it's fair for a home build :peepwall:

Hey your pictures are a LOT higher quality than Rob's.

Congrat's on achieving ignition!

At least he was working on the car.... back in 2013..... :getout:

Don't know why that made me think of this

Maybe someday Rob and I will meet, I am 6'7", down to 285.

I think we would look like these guys except in a Torino, with our heads touching the roof.
