My Gran Torino

Here are a few pics of how it looks after the paint job. I have some of the before and after if you are interested

Its ivory bronze aka 4c paint code. The top is a rhino lining to help stop and seal rust. motor and tranny have been redone and all i need is suspension and gears for the rear end.

Looks good. Thats awesome you used rhino lining for the top!

actually i do plan at running it but i want to get my gears first cuz the 2.79 are killing my acceleration. other than that I want to get a dyno tune and run that beast and hopefully get a 13.99

Nice looking car!!!

What motor are you running in that car?

I have the same problem with the 2.79 gears. I'm stepping up to either 3.89 or 4.11 for my new cleveland 4v combo.

Very nice!

Can I get a close-up of the Rhino roof? That seems like a grand idea. I am in the process of restoring the body of my 73 Gran Torino and I am keeping the formal roof look dispite my friends opinion on getting rid of it.
