Finally managed to get some additional work on the car over the holidays. We removed the pass side wheel tub and then moved onto the front to attack the suspension.

If you look at the previous pictures, you will see that a DOHC engine was not meant to fit within Torino shock towers. Easy solution there - get rid of them. They will be replaced with 2004 Mustang based ones.

I will say once again how great a tool a plasma cutter is!! This is by far one of the best and fastest tools I own. It makes cutting up cars a breeze. Once the shock towers were out, the stock Mustang k-member was modified to allow it to bolt into the Torino. A spare mockup steering rack was placed in position and will work perfect once in place which is another relief as we were not sure if it would hit anything.
