I apologize that I have been rather absent lately, within the next few days I'll update everything, things here at home, my grandmother and grandfather both have slid downwards and I lost my grandmother on Friday evening.

Anyway I'll see if I can straighten this out and dig out my entry.

Nick we all understand what life throws at us. No need to apologize. It's all good.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. My condolences for your loss.

Little progress.

Being the fuel cell got bigger, it hangs out in the open too much.

Just incase anybody wanted to push me off the road..

And if I need to push any of you little ones out of my way..

Some reshapping for the grill guard is still in the works.

I hear ya. Sorry for your loss Nick. My mom's passing last October pretty much put an end to my 2013 entry. No biggie, it'll just get finished up another day.

As far as this year's Torino, body work is done and everything's been primed. Some touch up body work needed but nothing worth posting pictures of at this time.

No progress on the XR6, I've kinda hit a roadblock until I figure out how to build/mount the rear suspension. Trying to decide if I should modify the stock frame or just build up a completely new one from scratch. In the mean time I've been working on other projects.

And I have always hated how they used the same rear fenders and bed from the 50's or 60's on these ,so I'm trying to make them more of a match to the front .

I really like the look of newer cars with the green paint, so I went with it...lightly weathered.

Don't change it Eric, I love it! Put Halibrands on it and run with it. Make it an awesome, diesel punk, Cannonball retro-future racer.

That was from a completely unrelated post! PB kept posting the same pic no matter what code I copied. Fixed it now...
