    Make me STOP!!!!!!

     



    Well, I goofed again.... Stopped out at Bart's on the way back from Sioux Falls the other day. Bart's a buddy of mine, keep some of my toys out there that are probably best classified as future projects..... Got to looking at my Torino, then came home and got on the 'net. The other day Bobby said something about the front end of the 'maro kind of looking like a Talladega Torino so I had to stop and look at my '68...... I know the 68's were FE powered, but I do have this really nice 460 that I'm using for a mock up engine in the Ranchero, and I have a bunch of spare driveline stuff plus acces to a '69 Torino parts car. None of this was more then a passing thought till I found this picture.... Whatever happens next is all Bobby's fault for even mentioning the Tallagega's...........

    Got to do something with that extra 460, ya know!!!!!

    If an FE fit between the towers on a '68, that 460 should too, right???? Thinking of putting a bracket car together again. Miss it. Bracket racing is a blast!!! The Super Gas class is good racing, just gets too intense sometimes......

    Sort of, but I think those hoods were straight across the front????? So is the Torino hood...... maybe a bit of Mopar in it, too?????

    Dave you know it will look even better with the single beams in it . Those Talla's didn't look as good as a Torino to me but they had a purpose . Dave if anyone can get a 460 in there you can . Hey name for it could be Tallacam .

    Yeah, if all else fails I can just do away with the towers and put a set of Mustang struts in it.... Got to have a cage to go bracket racing anyhow.... My "new driver" won't be 16 til a year from April, so I guess I have time... So many good parts around, might as well put another car together. Don't have a title for my '68 anyhow and it's too nice a car to just let sit there.....
