I have been posting my progress on one or two other sites dedicated to Torinos, but here is some progress shots of my 1972 Gran Torino Sport.
Background for those who don't know me much;
I found my Torino, an original Q code 4 speed 351c CJ setup, HD suspension, sitting in a small barn. Paid $600. Tore it apart, and decided to drive 3,200 miles to get another "puzzle car" shell, from a certain someone {COUGH-Jon-COUGH} here on this great site through a mutual friend.
Redid original 4 speed car frame front to back, boxed the lower front and rear control arms, all suspension parts new, upgraded my front brakes with the adaption of 13" rotors and dual piston calipers off a 1999 CVPI, upgraded to a lincoln dual diaphram booster with larger master cylinder. Still due to get 1976 police drums out back. Replaced/battled with passenger wheelhouse and quarter panel. Drove from Nebraska to Niagara Falls Canada and back for NOS fenders. Yes, I am nuts. Currently been working the 1/4's, trying to meet a self-imposed deadline for the 2008 powertour after having my Torino apart for 6+ years, and just getting it street legal June 2007.
Here are some pics, and a few vid clips.
Hope you get a kick. And to think I know of a '73 sport waiting for a rescue job...{and a collective groan from the wife}
