Its super busy here, mostly cause I don't have enough hands on deck in the shop. I would hire you in a heartbeat if you were closer! And I wouldnt call it "big", just comfortable. They are never big enough right? We don't have a ton of space, but we make do.

Got a super cool V10 powered car going to SEMa in a few weeks. Thats been the story of my life for the last 6 months. SEMA = Living under a rock

You think you could put any more tire up front on the Torino??

I will be at sema this year, your car will be where? Just like doing a car for the Ridler.....its a life choice.
Weather is to poopy out there, -20c is not my thing. How about you come out here!!!
No matter what the shop size , its to small , that's for sure!!!
The Torino will EASILY fit 19x12 with a 345 on all four corners. I will run the 325s I have for now.

We are in the Paxton/vortech booth. I will shoot you my number we can meet up.

Are you modifying the v10, forced induction, or anything of the sort?

Just a custom intake and the headers....stock insides...it may get some cams or a small shot of NOS if it needs a little more. It might see a track day or two, but only for some fun. I don't know what its like where you are, but here, if your 40 kmh (24 mph) over the speed limit they can take your car.

Gary

I'm glad to see you back and making some progress on this car.

Just when I think I'm going over the top on my Torino I look at yours and say I'm taking the easy way out.

This is definitely going to be the GT version.

Rob...your engine by itself puts yours over the top, let alone the chassis.

Once both headers are done and the AC is laid out, I will pull the motor and begin the sheetmetal work for the eng. comp. and grille area. My work garage is in my backyard and the car is stored in the garage in the front yard. Makes for a lot of walking to get anything done. Taking the short cut through the house is going to wear out the carpet.
