    #45 is going to be beautiful. The lucky person that buys it will be very happy. After 14 years and 30k plus miles #28 is still doing great and looking beautiful as ever. Keep the great videos coming Steve. Take care buddy

      Hey Jim. Glad you like the videos. I painted the trunk today and will do the door jams tomorrow. It's not too late for you to find one and starskyize it. They are a ton of fun.

    Nice project. I'm a Mopar guy generally but I bought a 76 Cougar this winter and have been fixing up since, It has the same bumper and I like how they did them because unlike GM and Chrysler the bumper doesn't weigh 700 lbs and takes 3 guys and 3 ton jack to take off and put back on. I'm building a Restomod with my Cougar.

      I hear you. I use a floor jack to put the bumpers on too.

    Hey Steve brilliant work any advice on masking an engine bay to be painted red ?

    • @born_again_torinos
      @born_again_torinos  Місяць тому

      Hi Brad, I just did that to this torino the other day. I got it all jammed trunk, doors and under the hood. In the next video soon I'll go over it and say what I did. It is very time consuming. If you are not pulling the engine, you have to remove a lot of items on the fire wall and fenders and mask the rest. Sand it, clean it and paint.

    Morning Steve,
    What is the owner (David) going to do with the side molding?

    • @born_again_torinos
      @born_again_torinos  2 місяці тому +1

      I thought it was donated to my stash. But I'll find out. One fender spear is bent, the door trim is pretty good. Was there any quarter trim? I'll have to look.

  • @auteurfiddler8706
    @auteurfiddler8706 2 місяці тому +1

    How did you get out the dents on that crease that runs mid way up the body? Did you weld a brass stud and pull them out? I don't think most of them have access from behind other than the door section.

    • @born_again_torinos
      @born_again_torinos  2 місяці тому

      The door is the worst spot to reach the body line from the inside. There is a giant girder that runs the length of the door. Most of the fenders can't be reached as well. Yes, I have a stud welder dent puller. But nothing beats getting behind the dent. That just isn't possible half the time. Even with the stud welder, it can stick to the metal so well that on a stubborn crease, it will tear out a hole instead of pulling the dent.

    I love Torinos. I owned a '74. I have been trying to find a reasonably priced Torino or Ranchero for years.

    • @born_again_torinos

      It has gotten much harder to find a good Gran Torino at a fair price. They are still out there, it's just rare.
