My 44th Starsky & Huch Gran Torino Project...Episode 10

In this episode I show even more progress on the opera windows as well as the door jams painted. The side dent is fixed and the rear header panel.

Wow!!! Steve, you are sooo awesome!!! I love everything u are doing!! Im sooo happy your working on it!! I super appreciate it toooo! You are correct, it was sort of painted (lol) viper red! Thanks sooo much for the interior parts too!!! I will be redoing the seats! And the dome light! And also the dash. It obviously needs alot of new parts and help. When I get it back, the tranny will be taken out the next weekend, probably. When its installed, then I'm having the a/c fixed. That will be it for this summer. Once my shop is built ill have the interior done over the winter. By the way, we excepted a offer on our house!! Should sign by July 24th!! So that means I'll have the money for my shop!! Thank you Steve and God for everything!!! Im very blessed with good people in my life!!

Howdy Tony. Thank you so much. You have a nice sold car. It is very satisfying to put original OEM FOMOCO parts back on it that are missing. I always have to tell myself that these cars are almost 50 years old and that there will always be problems with them. When I was in high school I thought an 8 year old car was ancient. I remember a kid in high school had a 55 chevy and that was like a Model T to me and it was only 22 years old. I'm so happy for your house sale and jealous about your new dream house and future shop. When you redo the seats in your torino, you can order up a new hat shelf and sail panels. The ones I made will get you by till then. It is still a joy to start up.

I know!! Hard to believe there that old!! I guess when your our age that stuff still seems pretty new. I love all the oem stuff too!! My friend supplies places like year one with their interior materials. He said he can get me the original material, now I have to find a rear seat!!! Lol, any word on the bumpers? The bolts?

@@tonysaylor2373 I haven't heard from the Chrome place. I'll try to remember to call them Monday and get an update. I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't want to bug them. But they have had them for a good while now. Yeah, I'll have to ask him if he has the new bolts for it as well.

[@tonysaylor2373]

Thats, fine, like I said, im in no rush, I have tons to do before I get the car. Still moving!! Lol, keep up the awesome work!!

Another great episode. I am sending you an email about a spare hat shelf I can donate to your future cars (bought it for Torino #30 in 2012 but did something else). So nice to see all the work and effort that goes into our Born Again Torinos!

[@born_again_torinos]

Mike, it is so great to hear from you. I wish everybody could see how much you improved #30.

We need you as the steamy and hutch Torino doctor for parts and reproduced parts

[@George-i6j8x]

Do you have or know the part name for side rear window molding. Has screws in in by the windlace. It goes on door jam above the door striker, then there is a black piece then the molding

[@born_again_torinos]

I'm having a hard time picturing what you are describing. The aluminum chrome trim under the quarter window? or the black rubberized piece that hides the hole to adjust the quarter window? Steve

[@clevelandrum]

how do you collect all the sanding dust?

[@born_again_torinos]

I sand outside. My D.A. Sander has a collection bag. The board sanding goes everywhere.
