Was this car some kind of limited production car or was it sentimental to you or something? If not I am just curious why go thru so much work if not.I have seen a lot of them with possibly a lot less repair which in the end would probably saved you $.

We tend to jump through hoops for our cars, LOL. Sometimes it is something in the heart that causes us to care less about the wallet.

Scott,
 
I had one of the S&H LE's back in the day and had it for many years until one day I had a brain fart and sold her. The car hadn't move 3 feet and I knew I had made a MAJOR mistake because everyone knew me by that car. I always said one day I would get her back...
 
When the S&H movie came out in '04, the fire was rekindled! I exhausted ever lead I could trying to locate my old ride without success so the hunt began for a replacement. I found this one on eBay out of Washington state (from Mr. S&H Torino himself, Steve Casteel) and determined to rebuild it as a clone of the TV Hero cars..... except mine will be a bucket seat/console car (the way I'm sure Starsky would really have ordered it! LOL)... and being the anal type, I WANTED IT AS NEAR PERFECT AS POSSIBLE!
 
Joe is right, when the heart is involved, the wallet doesn't matter!

John,
 
It was NOS back in the day when the car was originally fixed.... that's why I said if they had just gone the extra mile back when it was first repaired, I would be ahead of the game now! But they cut corners to reduce cost's I'm sure... never expecting it to live this long???
 
I thought about converting to a 4 speed but decided to stick with the C6 to reduce drivetrain abuse! LOL

Wow, those are nice. Really difficult to find in that condition. More often than not, those never were replaced when an accident occured. My '76 was never hit and has them, but most of the parts cars I've bought... less than 1/2 were present.

Been a while since I posted a project update, so I thought I’d bring things up to date…

 

The principals at F3 do fantastic work and LOVE working on the old stuff, customs and hot rods... but the problem they are facing is finding skilled labor THAT WILL COME TO WORK EVERYDAY! They have been searching for craftsmen to come in and work the insurance jobs (@ flat rate) so they can focus on the classics. They have had my car since May and that's the very reason it is so far behind schedule... a guy will start, work a couple weeks, earn a good check and then disappear. They need the insurance work to keep the doors open and lights on so they can pursue their passion, which means THEY have to work the paying jobs because they can't find dependable help.

 

That being said, this week is scheduled to be another oldies week… If they can replicate the progress they made last oldies week, my car should be in primer by the weekend! Just a few pieces to finish fitting up for the inner structure and they will be ready to finish weld and dress out the repairs prior to painting with POR15 and then rehang the rear quarter and install the donor roof skin. Once all that is completed, it will be time to hit all the exposed steel with a scotch-brite pad in preparation for the first coats of primer! Been waiting years to say that!

 

The guys at F3 will also be welding on the frame brackets for the forward reinforcement bars as well as straightening the lower core support crossbar prior to returning the Torino to the dealership for me to finish up detailing the frame and engine compartment and a few other areas I want to finesse prior to final paint and assembly.

 

I haven’t been totally dormant while I’ve waited on the Tomato’s return. I have lined up a new 460 for the car that I will be purchasing from a fellow forum member and picking up the first weekend of November. The engine specs are as follows:

 

Rebuilt Ford 460 engine with less than 5000 miles
- Block hot tanked, magnafluxed, honed, bored .30 over
- Stock Ford Rods and Pistons, New Mahle Rings, Clevite Bearings, gaskets and seals
- Cam Adv. Duration = 280/290 Duration at .050 = 214/224 Lift = .516/.543 Centerline = 107/117
- new plugs, timing chain & hv oil pump
- crank ground and polished
- heads prepped and cc'd 85cc combustion chambers 9:4 to 1 compression
- new valves with 3 angle valve job, new bronze guides
- exhaust ports of heads ported to remove EGR hump
- balanced
- Edelbrock Aluminum Performer Intake Manifold #2166

- Rebuilt Holley #3310 4 barrel carburetor

 

Cleared off my engine stand and got it all cleaned up for the new addition I also checked out the air cleaner assembly I have for my car and found I have a 429 base (snorkel vacuum port mounted to bottom of housing just behind the carb) and a later 460 cover (snorkel vacuum port mounts to lid). A bit more scrounging thru my parts cache and I found an early lid that I will need to work just a bit and I'll have the air cleaner like I had on my old LE. In the warmer months, I would replace the full size OEM lid with a 14" chrome aftermarket lid the allow the outer perimeter of the air cleaner element to be open so it could breathe a bit easier. When cooler temps arrived, I would replace the factory lid to be able to utilize the heat riser function of the snorkel. I also purchased a NOS engine block heater (freeze plug style) off eBay since the 460 in my project Torino came with one and also picked up a set of taillight fillers, which I posted earlier.

Hopefully my next update will be a bit more constructive!

Engine - Part 1

Well finally got to Philly to pick up my "new" engine from my buddy Carl. He sent me a few videos to show me how smoothly the 460 ran and a few pics of the rebuilt carb.....
 
 
 
 

and after looking at what he sent, I was sold! So the weekend before Thanksgiving I headed to Philly to get a new heart for my Tomato. When I arrived, Carl was still in the process of pulling if out of his S&H LE, so I rolled up my sleeves and jumped in to help. Before long, the 460 was dangling above it home of many years....

We trimmed off the excess exhaust pipes (in hindsight, I wash I had kept the pieces we cut off for future use in determining the run of the exhaust out of the engine bay) and wrestled the engine into the trailer and secured it for transport back to it's new home. The transport vehicle was a 4x8 U-Haul trailer hooked behind my Sable.......
When I first saw the trailer number, I thought I was really in for an unforgettable adventure.....

....but happily I was wrong! LOL

The next day I was given a special treat (see earlier post) before my 9 1/2 hour drive West thru the mountains of WV. While the hunk of iron I was pulling behind me did labor the Mercury on the upslopes, she never let me down and we made it safe and sound.
On Monday, I was off to the dealership early to unload the engine....
then on to U-Haul to return the trailer. With all that out of the way, I set about pulling off the various bits and pieces so I could mount it on my engine stand.......

Next installment, we'll crack her open and have a look inside...

Stay tuned!!

Engine - Part 2

With the engine on the stand, it was time to crack her open and have a look inside. First I pulled the exhaust manifolds, carb, fuel pump, timing cover, harmonic balancer and the oil pan. Inside everything looked excellent! The double roller timing chain was nice and taunt, oil pump screen and inside the oil pan was free any debris and the rotating mass looked nice and clean with no visible signs of wear......








Next task is to cover all the openings, sandblast, prime and paint the exterior and get her ready for reassembly and detailing.

Until next time.....

Stopped by the F3 (Far From Factory) shop yesterday and the guys say next week is all mine! I have to get the epoxy primer and supplies on order from Sikkens for delivery on Monday Jan 7th, so by midweek, the Tomato should be (FINALLY!!) wearing her first coat of paint (well epoxy primer anyways) in over 4 years!!

A little bit closer.....

Stopped by the F3 shop on Tuesday and the sheet metal is about 90% complete. A few more tweeks/repairs to be made to the inner structure and then it will be on to hanging the quarter and roof skins, then prepping for the epoxy primer. Sikkens have already delivered the primer materials, so by the end of next week (01/18/13) she should be once more have something on her naked body. Here are a few shots of the structure and the quarter panel in place to check fit......
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Will take a few more shots of the final structure repairs prior to exterior panel attachment. Really getting excited about getting the ole girl back so I can get my hands dirty again while the guys at F3 massage the hood, fenders, deck lid.
 
Stay tuned......

Joe,

Those frame brackets and reinforcements on page two appear to be the factory style frame reinforcements that my 76 Elite had.

Where did you get them, they look brand new and as a kit? Are they NOS ford parts, a third party kit or used stuff you cut off and had made to look brand new?

Scott,
 
Those are OEM bars & brackets that I got from Ian (iangj) here on the forum. Wire brushed them really good then had them powder coated.... Yeah, they turned out well!!
 
Carguy47 was at one time going to snag several sets from a boneyard and put together kits for guys wanting to add the frame reinforcements (http://forum.grantorinosport.org/police-or-wagon-frame-parts_topic6647_page3.html).
 
Might want to touch base with him if you are in need of a set.....

Inner structure REPAIRED....

The boys at F3 were busy on the Tomato this week! They sent me pics of the COMPLETED INNER STRUCTURE REPAIRS today and they look FANTASTIC! I'll swing by tomorrow after work for a first hand opportunity to drool over their craftsmanship....
 
 

They will probably already have the quarter and roof skin attached by the time I get there as well as the inner driver side rear bulkhead and be dressing the welds and prepping the body for the first coat of epoxy primer! Won't be long until the ball will be back in MY court!!

Tune in tomorrow for more......

HUNG

Swung by the F3 shop and the quarter panel and roof skin are almost completely attached!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
They will finish dressing the welds and start prepping the body for primer and should have the two stage epoxy sprayed on her flanks by this time next week!

Stay tuned.....
