Torino's gonna be awesome when its out doing shakedowns in it's birthday suit... I also chose to build the car twice, once to get bugs out and tweak it, then tear down for cleanup and paint. After driving a couple of days, I'll stay that tearing it down will be a hard, hard thing to do.
Keep at it Rob! |
Thanks. If I had your patina I wouldn't have paint on my agenda ever.

I do have a question about the C6 spindle. I wasn't aware that the C6 ran that much caster. Can you explain a bit about the effect of running that much caster, or perhaps asked different, if you run less caster with the C6 spindle, what would the effect be?
My setup uses that spindle, but I've been told to target 6.5 - 7.0* of caster, and my recent alignment check shows 6.8* and 6.2* (I haven't had it aligned fully yet, but that is with camber dead on at the moment). While I realize my setup is different, it supposedly uses pretty close to C6 geometry points.
Keep the techie stuff coming! I'm learning from all of this too! |
I think the oddity of my build is a good thing. It lets me ask Ron his opinion out in the open without giving any edge to the other Torino builders.
At the same time if you follow along Ron is giving a good overview of suspension and handling dynamics and things to consider when setting up a car.
I'm sure Ron will weigh in on your caster question and it's relationship to camber.
I'm still confused why there aren't more Torinos
They have been going round corners for decades.
