Next update:

Floors are all done, front end is done, wiring under dash is done, now started on rear end



Whoops - rear end is dirty but fine, but the leaf springs are broken.
You will notice that there are 3 leaves on the visible spring - but there are supposed to be four.
The other one was so rusted we cut it out.
Now to fabricate new leaf springs.



Stereo being installed, floor insulation going in, new front sway bar arrived.
Painting and detailing engine this weekend before installation.
Waiting for more parts - as per usual

Familiar story! Cool car.
One of my favorite things about this site is the unique cars everyone is building.

Re: 69 Torino Cobra Jet

Unibody Fords were basically all made the exact same way. Just in different sizes. Hell, the Mustang was made from mostly Falcon parts, just different sheet metal. Same goes with the Fox body stangs were the same structurally as Fairmonts. I think it was one of their better ideas. Made for ease of swaps.
