Ford man's 1976 Gran Torino Brougham Project

[marquisman]

belive it or not, the dash electronics are the most expensive. the dash and electronics are the next step. we already got the bumper, scanner, seats and rear light black out installed. the proper wheels are another hard to find, price gouged thing. only thing that sucks, is that its not a t-top. but, finding a '83 T/A is hard enough. i will be able to get pics in the spring but, i think there is a vid of the small knight rider meet kicking around.

That's friggin awesome!!! You sir, have skilz.

I didn't think the Dynamax Hemis would be that loud. Though perhaps it's the engine. Regardless, it doesn't inspire much hope with my Dynamax setup.

Thanks Packman! I appreciate it.

The car should look better still once I'm done because in the video the white is wetsanded with 1500 grit and needs to be polished out. Same thing with the trunk. And the red will look better after more coats.

My Dynomax Hemis are 2 1/2" with no cats. The sound is rumbly but mellow and it's quiet on the freeway.

Ok so I finished my last coats of red. I did 8 coats total. And 9 coats of white before the red. The white is color sanded but not buffed with 1500. Haven't touched the red yet but I plan to color sand and buff it after it's had a chance to dry for a while. I'm really happy with the results and glad to be done painting.

That would be cool to have but expensive cause I would have to get new seats too. What are you asking anyhow?

Wow, what a fantastic job! Just comparing the before and after shots is awesome.

The car looks so clean and smooth compared to the 70's cluttered look most cars had.

Our scrapyards in the UK are full of rubbish compared to this! One day I'm just going to fly to the states and have 2 weeks of trawling junkyards!!!

Nice job man - seriously impressive. Love the vids. What does your Wife/kids think of it all?

This thread is like a book you can't put down - never want it to end.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words, especially since I've been following your wagon thread and like to admire your work!

Looking back now I wish I took more before pictures... My girlfriend wants me to finish already ha ha... you know the drill. She also want's me to switch to black or white interior instead of the brown but she's not paying for it so...
