The lines were really close to the Wilwood master cylinder, so it was a challenge.




My Daughter and I built a radiator shroud from fiberglass, I think we found this idea on the H.A.M.B., we had done one before but this is the second generation. I will post one picture and a link, as there are several pictures and we were still working on it today.



Radiator Shroud
Bolts right up = needs some modification to work.

Nice work Joe making those parts actually work.

The brake lines look nice. I was telling a buddy of mine with little to no actual building skills that bending and flaring lines would be a great first project. He still hasn't done crap. Of course I've seen some nice fab work from you and your daughter so those lines turning out that nice on your first try is no surprise.

It sure is nice to see a Torino getting close to hitting the road.

Thanks for the kind words Rob…


My helper is off to college to the "Great White North" in a few more weeks, I will miss her, and her help. She has come a long way from fixing "old Ford's" to "Classic Ford's. She can even frame a structure, and pour concrete.
