I am scared to guess since I work full time, take 1-2 classes a semester, have 2 kids & only get the money after the bills & hubby's racing habit.

Given your parameters, my guess would be about 300 years.....

 

depend on if you like the 60'd muscle car look.

i think it could be very cool and i guarantee you wont see anyone driving one on Sunday. i have a 67 galaxie xl that to me looks ok, yet every time i drive it, it gets alot of attention.

 

That's because you look like a little kid!!!

 

I was thinking more along the lines of 150 years.

My daughter asked if I was fixing it up so I could race it against Daddy's truck but I informed her that I was fixing it up so we could drive it around wherever we wanted to (obviously not 4x4ing).

It'll be 600 years if you are here posting instead of working on it!!!!

 

do it over stock..its worth more


...zap!

 

I was out there earlier scraping at the floor some more. Can't work too late on it since I have to work in the driveway (Lightning & other crap is in the garage). The rest of the night I just spent going through the DC catalog highlighting the items that I will probably need.

Now off to shower then bed.

 

Bed????
You dont have time for bed!!!
Get to the grage and get to work! Sleep is for the weak, un-driven, and un-inspired.

DANG IT.... I missed my daily nap this afternoon!!!!

 

If I don't get at least a couple hours sleep all my work would look like *****. Now how would that help the progress if I had to redo everything?

 

I would say the next time your hob-knobbing with Chip Foose, you should ask him to do some publicity work using your Torino.

If that doesn't work, then I'd vote to go back stock also. Torinos aren't known for speed without a big engine, and they aren't known for riding on rails either. Go stock and then enjoy the nostalgia!

My cousin Donna had a beautiful blue one just like yours with a 302, and it was great. We got 8 people crammed into it for a 90 mile drive to see Van Halen years ago, and it carried us well over the speed limit the whole trip. Very fun. She kicks herself now for selling it.
