I hear too little castor, excessive scrub and too narrow a rim for a tire can cause problems also.

I'm thinking putting the big ones in front would be one way to differentiate oneself from the Rad Rides Torino.

Isnt this the view the naysayers will see at the track?

Just kidding guys, the Torino looks great Rob!

Been working on mine too lately after a six month hiatus.

I've been thinking about what this dam thing would look like on the ground for a couple years now. I have to thank Phil and Jeremy at RS for making the stance I had in my head come to life. For me it looks even better than I thought it would. Good enough for the hard core first gen guys to call a short truce and give it some love.

Rob, this ol' girl is looking bad azz! Glad you finally have her together to see what the next phase is. The stance is spot on. Phil is a great guy, I was glad to meet him while out there in July.

Rob the stance,wheels and tires are bad ass! Nice work

By my count this car showed up in no less than 5 threads yesterday, with the build thread being the last.

Maybe we oughta merge the whole site into one Torino blob thread?

...or Rob could give MattO advice on how to market his car

I did pick up on the fact that in the one shot -- the car spans TWO houses...


Just sayin'

Hey everyone called it big and ugly till they saw it on the ground. Maybe they are underestimating how well it will work as much as they underestimated how good it would look.

And Now back to the regular Blue Oval vs Bowtie programming.

Thanks Chris. Remember us guys with the big girls gotta stick together.

Yea Phil, Jeremy and Neal are great people. Anyone who gets to that part of the country must visit that shop. Amazing.
