Pintoboy77 Torino Project (Lost in a restoration black hole)

[silver_bullet]

I would have to guess that the market for a restaurant in that area is severely limited....our applebees has gone way downhill.... you're probably better off without it....

That was the new one. We still have the old one. Also lost a taco johns but still have two others. Lost the good KFC and it was closer. There are already four car washes on that street. I miss long john's even if it was always dirty. And they quit having corn on the cob.

We were supposed to get a jack in the box but they cancelled. Some other ass hats tore down a five year old(give or take) applebee's to build a car wash. How stupid and wasteful is that?

In some instances - tearing down an Applebee's could be considered a public service!

That's way we mostly eat at home I eat out more than I want too.

The point being that another restaurant could have moved in there without too much trouble.

hence the new kitchen!

We have mostly eaten at home through our remodel it's more lunch that I have to eat out. I know I could pack but I'm on the road all the time and it either gets hot or soggy so I just stop and get something it's just easier.

Most days I go to lunch for the "fresh air" as much as the food.

I got my parts Torino out of my storage box tonight. I need to pull the rearend and tranny out of it. I want to get them rebuilt so I can get them painted. I've got the rebuild kits now I just need to tear them apart and get at it. I will probably start with the rearend first.

[pintoboy77]

I got all the parts off the parts car today I need for now. I got the rearend all pulled apart. Plus I got the parts car put back away for now. Small steps but steps just the same.

glad there is some activity here! go Greg!!

[pintoboy77]

Thanks Gregg there baby steps but there still steps.

[pintoboy77]

Parts are rolling in again for the rearend all new brake stuff cables hardware kits wheel cylinders self adjuster kits. Waiting on the bearing kit so I can get the limitedslip unit and new gear set in. I've got to get axel bearings and seals and brakeshoes and start getting it together and painted.
