Now to really put some time in on this project. My wife and kids are gone for a month to South Africa, so now I can work on it big time. Its been awhile since I have done anything on it. I have spent the last few days getting the front clip installed and it should be a roller soon. The next thing to do is the rear tubs/quarters and rail modifications.

Got to work on the power window motor conversion. Cut the adapters brackets out of 3/16 and welded them to the back side of the crank. I will have to re index the window arm to be able to spin the whole assembly down to get the motor below the glass. The door already has the mounting holes. I still have to make the drive gear bushing that will go inside the original crank mount cap.
I also got my header flanges cut out of 3/8" stainless. Since the car is now tucked away in my spare garage I will have to wait before I can play with those. A 5 tube collector should be fun to fab.

Picked up my 5-1 collectors from Stainless headers, a work of art!

Sorry for the absent replies, but no progress on the Torino project. Had to put it on hold while I finish ten thousand other things. I have picked up a few parts, an aluminum rad and the front seats. I have spent some time planning some of the things to be done, but thats all thats gone on there. I hope to get some time on it in about a month....hopefully.

Heres a few pics of my daily driven Bronco. These are during construction and at a couple of events I drove 1500 miles to attend.

Sweet Bronco. I'm guessing you built the coil over conversion. I looks like you did a 4 link or something out back. I thought about that on my wifes but just went with stock style springs and leafs and bypass shocks.

I hope to see some Torino updates from you in a month.
