Yup. I managed to make the last couple years since I'm working in SoFlo right now. If your looking for ANYTHING for ANYTHING, chances are you'll find it there, or find someone who has it.

Busy day today. My day off so I decided to do a little preventive maintenance. What started out as a simple drum brake check turned into a whole day of doing stuff. Front pad slap, rear brake shoes and ebrake cable replaced. Cleaned and blacked out the wheel wells. Painted the kidney cuts on the mags red to match the car. Modified the rear wheel lip mouldings to fit. Then put it all back together. Relax with a cold beer. Now that was a good day.

Here it is. Moog CC 803 station wagon springs in the rear with two isorators. CVPI up front. I didn't cut the coils. The shocks are KYB Excel G heavy duty. I got the stance by using. P215/65R 15s up front and P275/60R 15s in the rear.. The mags are ET lV with us Mag center caps. I took one off to see who actually made them.

Welcome Steve! I upgraded you earlier today and glad to see you posted some pics. The car looks great. Those CVPI springs really make a huge difference on these cars.
If you can get a good side profile shot of your car, I will add it to the coil spring stance thread. I don't think I have a '74-76 Torino with CVPI springs in that thread. Did you have to cut the coil springs at all, or just install them as is? Feel free to start a project thread on your car.

The surround was from an XR7 Cougar. The gauges were from a '74 Gran Torino Elite.
