76 S&H RESTO PAINT PICS

Thanks Andy,if I can get that damn steering box to stop leaking,I'd be all set.It idled at a smooth 900rpm today as I topped of tranny,loving this fuel injection!!Roll out will be soon,probably sometime in feb.Another guy marc has a shop down the road and he said he would align it for me,nice.I 've been helping him out with inspections for his customers till he gets his new stickers.

No its leaking on the top seal where the steering column shaft bolts on.Its just slowly oozing out will car runs,weird I just changed the seal and dust cover,maybe seal is no good.Going to try and get this nos seal kit on ebay for $10,try it again and if it still leaks.look into doing a rack.

I hope i can drive that when its done!!! SMOKIN NICEEEEEEEEE!!

I found out something else interesting.The hotrod power tour is going to be starting june 6,same day as fords at carlisle and their coming my way!!It's starting in wisconsin and by I think by june 10 they will be in dayton ohio and heading south to somewhere in kentucky and final stop is a bristol dragway in tennesee for the following weekend.I could intercept them in dayton,but I'd have a day or two of lag time.What the hell is there to do in ohio????

Cleveland's to far north,I'd be coming through the middle of the state from either pittsburgh end or through west virginia and looking to go across ohio and then south.

Ralph,
If you decide on crossing into WV, let me know when you'd be traveling down I-64 thru Huntington, WV. (where KY, OH & WV meet on the Ohio River) Love to meet up with you and see you handiwork first hand and show you my project as well.

Well today I did the pump swap.Didn't take to long,before I started it up, I jacked it up to look at steering box from behind to see if it was still leaking or not.The previous post of me thinking it was not leaking while the car was off were wrong.There was still a light trail of fluid running down the box,it just didn't reach the floor.Oh well,so there's no problem using the modern pump,it still leaks out with the older original pump.The shaft must be worn to much to fully seal.I did call my parts supplier and cardone does have the rebuilt boxes for $145 like castillo said.I won the upper seal kit on ebay,so I'm going to try another seal in it and if it still leaks,then I'll be getting a remanned box.I did have it running again and that puts a smile on my face!!

I am a big steeler fan,GO PITT,spank arizona!!I would be cool to see the hall.I'm going to map it out from the pittsburgh end of penna and see how far it is.Maybe also stop in pittsburgh and check out the steel city!!Maybe I can get my car on the 50 yard line at heinz field and snap some pics!Now that would be cool!!!

Hey Jon,I've been mapping it out from carlisle and I'm pretty sure I'm going to head your way to pitt for a day on june 8th.then hit football hall of fame in canton on the 9th and then make my way to dayton on the 10th for the power tour.Wow this is pretty exciting,lots of cool stuff to see and do!!I actually e-mailed hotrod to see if they have any interest doing a story on my car and my journey.Gave them a brief rundown on the car and such.I'll keep you guys updated on any developments.Everything will be updated regularly on my departure date near end of may and on the car of course!

Sounds good man! I PM'd you my email address. look me up when you are in town! by that point i should have my torino out of dry storage... maybe we could go on a little cruise! I assume you will be bringing your car? ha ha!

Car looks amazing by the way!!! Wanna help me restore mine now? lol

I'm seriously looking into getting it painted, but I dont have the money for it. I wanna have it looking nice for my wedding in October so my fiance and I can drive off in it!

Decided today to just pull the steering box and get the new/remaned one.I only want to do this one more time,Just want to get it done.So off came the fender again and am also switching back to my latemodel pump.Put in drivers seatbelt,decided to use my original, as the nos tan one painted black would eventually wear through to the tan as I'll be using it every time I drive.I will have them redone down the road by snakeoyl,but there pricey at about $500 for the pair of outers.Also installed the right corner bumper filler piece.Doing the left one friday along with cleaning and painting the rad air deflector and those plastic corner splash shields pieces that attach under the rear of fenders.

Very Very nice kinda cool a torino fan on the opposite end of the united states
