man youre not kidding. At this point the engine is running pretty good after a tune up, adjusted timing, and a new carb
 
Whatever happened to the other projects? Did you get those rolling? The coupe to fastback? The 69 for the Power Tour last year that I think started your YouTube channel? There was like a 54/55 F100 at some point too, right? Get us all caught up on 'em!

The 65 Coupe to Fastback got sold.

The 69 Mustang is still in sheet metal hell but still in process., Last thing i did was put a 351w/AOD combo in it but haven't full put it back together. All the sheet metal is fitted, just need some tweaks and a lot of welding

The 53 is still here and running, i drive it here and there but its mostly been ignored other then that

This Torino is the HRPT car this year which is why im focused on it at the time.
 
Not sure what your eventual plans are with this car but be wary of how you clean and treat the metal and what you spray on it. Rustoleum spray bombs and real automotive primers and paints are not always friendly. You could be creating a lot more work for yourself down the road when it comes time for finish work. You might be better off treating the bare metal with phosphoric acid and leaving it bare for now. Makes for less work later and won't screw with a real paint application.

With the Torino, the Cowl is under the hood so im not planning on doing much paint work in the engine bay itself. Just coating it to make sure to keep the rust away otherwise i would of done differently. Eventually ill probably paint the car but i defiantly wont be using rustoleum anywhere i plan to paint like that
 
Doesnt look like much but got all the screws out, welded them up, coated with rust encapsulator, and welded in the mounting brackets for the passenger side 09 gt500 seats

In this video I show you how i installed 09 Gt500 seats (05-09 type i believe) in my 71 Torino.

The video should be useful for the following Vehicles based on the AMD floor fitment:
1966 - 1971 Ford Fairlane (Except Convertible, Wagon or Ranchero)
1968 - 1971 Ford Torino (Except Convertible, Wagon or Ranchero)
1966 - 1970 Mercury Comet (Except Convertible, Wagon or Ranchero)
