Seems like an on-going theme. Supposed to start raining here early this afternoo... well.. now and rain Thursday and Friday pretty much on and off all day both days and then clear up for the weekend... Someone screwed up and got that backwards! A weatherman somewhere is going to lose his job over this mix up.

Looks like a slow day here on the MCF. Hope all our brethren to the north get thawed out soon!
Well I had been hoping for weeks that spring break would be a chance to get a lot done on the Torino. Instead, my dad needs breaks and wheel seals all the way around on his 18 wheeler, plus a u-joint was bad and the right front spindle was bad. So as of now, we have all new brake shoes on 5 wheels (of 6 sets), 4 brake drums for the rear on, 5 wheel seals replaced, the drive shaft down, replaced a yoke for the drive shaft, and pressure washed it. I don't like working on trucks!! These brake drums weigh about 75 lbs! I hope I never get in a fight with a man who does this crap full time, I'd get it hadned to me!
As far as the Torino goes, the fenders and hood were painted, but my dad and I thought that the paint had frozen resulting in the quarter fender extensions, fenders, and hoods coming out more yellow than the rest of the car. Well we had another pint of wimbledon white mixed, and it came out EXACTLY like the old stuff did! Well some research and time at the parts store revealed that there are TWO different paint codes for Wimbledon White, one for 1965-1970'something, and then one from there to mid 80's when Fard replaced the color. We had both codes and thus the difference. The difference was a tad more white and a tad less yellow in the newer code. My question for the Ford Motor Company: considering you guys had white, wimbledon white, oxford white, pearl white, and snow white, along with some others I have probably forgotten; when you changed the mixture, why didn't you just dream up another name? Where they out of names for white? Had GM, Dodge, and the imports figured out all the other names?!!?!
Next time I restore a Chevy!
