    The Torino looks solid from the bottom side. Pontiac, Dodge, AMC and Ford - you don't discriminate. If it burns gas and makes noise, the more the merrier!

    JD is so blessed to have his dad and granddad to learn from, 3 generations just awesome. I know it was avout the Torino, but the GT37 kept me distracted. Thanks for the video.

    Damn! Haven't seen a Torino since the late '70's and they were scarce even at that time. Pretty solid car for being sitting in a field basically. The Magnums really suit that car.
    Kudos to JD for getting right in there lending a hand in the wrenching dept.
    Damn cool to see him givin er alongside Pops and Grandpa!!

    I remember my friend wanting to mount the axle under the spring for more height. Rather than swapping axles or welding on new perches, he wanted to flip it. I said "so you wanna go really fast in reverse?", I got that blank Homer Simpson look.

    That rear leaf spring setup looks just like a 64 and older full size Ford. They went to coil spring on the full size cars in 65 but it looks like the smaller cars didn't change much. Really like how the leaf spring bushings just push in by hand.

    General rule of thumb.
