67XR7 · #1 11-13-2011, 08:55 AM

some of you guys have seen me on Pro-Touring been a member there for a bit and have been lurking here so I decided to join.the look of this car will be drastically changed here in the next year or two to reflect more of the "pro-touring" look. I am planning on ditching the two tone paint in favor of an all Orange paint job. changing the wheels for something in a flat finish and have some ideas on the interior to help play on the outer color scheme.this is project "Garfield" my soon to be ALL Orange 67 cougar.

New paint buddy? The paint has barley dried on the car now....

What are the specs on your wheels? Do the T4 calipers clear the wheels without spacers?

Torino 420 do you have a build thread on your car? was kind of curious as to what you used for a block on your big/Small block build.

I just have a thread on the mini tub project, the motor was built back in the mid 90's using a 69 block. It is an old school stroker using a modified 400 ford crank with 4.060 stroke, the bore is 4.060 as well....it's a square stroker

Here is the thread on the mini tub if you want to check it out: https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=28042

Btw if you are at all considering the Gateway front suspension setup I can go through all the Headaches it caused me and what I had to do to remedy them.No sense in someone else loosing money on the "guess" work for their front end conversion.I plan on doing a build thread at some point.
