Can't wait to see it with the anchor installed.

I'm not putting a SBC in it. Did you get your anchor to idle yet?

I bet you can't wait to get it home and sit in the driver seat and make rum rum noises.

Anyone who says they don't do that is full of Shiat

Nice job Phil and crew!


My bet is - when this bad boy gets finished and is sitting somewhere - it draws three times the crowd Danica gets.

GW I'll keep that in mind for autocross events

It's got a better back end than Danica, hers is kinda Boney

Rob I have dibs on the temp rolling stock.

You know you'll get to burn whatever rubber is left off those GS wheels.

Yea I know, that sexy Torino enhancement of those ugly Grand Sport wheels.

Can we get some hash marks on the front fender to continue the LT4 Grand Sport theme?

Jim you've stepped over the line. Stuff like that should only be on txs to Brett and left in Vegas.

Sometimes you just have to compromise and go the cheap route.

Any LS would want to be in a Torino; it's all part of the FE envy.

and kinda sorta like a "hemi under glass"....

How about a Cammer under the glass of a Mercury Clone Spoiler40 ?

Like the Mach40 only a little bigger.

I can only dream of the day I'm wrestling with ignition and carb tuning issues.

You all know that GM copied the FE motor design when they built the LS motors.

Oh brother not again....

When I was trying to spec out the trailer - I asked for a 6000# lift (over the standard 4000#) and I wanted 24' feet in the "garage" space. The dealer knows my cars and said -- Greg, you have a '32 Ford and a '65 Mustang you want to haul around....


I said - Dave, I have friends - and they may want to go with me somewhere... and pointed him to this thread.


Done.
