In case you need a daily driver, while you are working on your car, I found a pretty nice alternative for you;

Not a bad option but that is the biggest Torino of them all. 5 inches longer than mine with an inch more wheelbase. They also weight another 100-150lbs.

For a newer model Torino daily driver I'd opt for a 72 with a Cleveland.

Hey I have to finish one Torino before I buy another. Building this one may kill me.

I think they look pretty good as a PT car. Look GW I just posted another Torino pic.

I think it's time for another avatar change isn't it? I mean, you've had this one going for at least 24, maybe even 36 hours... ?

I went outside and was thinking of starting on my lower steering shaft firewall plate. It was only 98 here today but that was hot enough for me to lose motivation for today.

I did take a shot of the lower portion of my column. You notice I ordered my column as a collapsable style. Some may say it is overkill in a rack and pinion steering set up to have a collapsible column but for a few extra $$ I'd say better safe than sorry.

In the Woodward catalogue they discuss always using a collapsable shaft no matter the steering system set up. I think I'll trust them on that one.

It's not an AN fitting or a Bracket so I believe it is an appropriate picture to post.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
