My 56 project
Hi guys,
This is the cab and doors from the truck my Dad taught me how to drive in.
It sat behind his barn for 20some years. It was really rusty, but I felt I needed to put the effort into saving it for sentimental reasons. Welded in rockers, corners, cowls, etc... got her close to paint now. It helps I own a body shop. Put a tci coil over suspension in front, 4 link in back and built a cleveland engine for it. Wish I had a customer job like this in the shop so I could work on an effie all day and not feel guilty, It's really a fun build.

Thanks, I hope to get her done by spring for the supernationals.
Click on tlrs819 when your on the photo page and you will see different albums on the left.
The album "donor car for 56 project" has a lot of pics of the torino I junked for the 351 cleveland, trans, 9" Rear etc. Boy that thing was a heap!
