1972 Ford Gran Torino Restoration Reveal! Surprising The Family!
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 08. 2020
- The 1972 Ford Gran Torino is finished! The video is the big surprise reveal for the family. The deadline came down to the final hour as the final parts were delivered just in time! We are blown away with how everything came together for this project. The paint, wheels, engine, vinyl top, etc. Getting the car running and driving after 17 years was such an exciting moment. The emotions from the family after seeing the car after all those years made it so worth it. Surprising the family at the memorial service with the car at the end was the perfect way to celebrate life. It was really fun for Uncle Jim’s daughter to get back behind the wheel after so many years. Thank you all so much! Who wants more mods? Engine build, straight pipes?

Drop a like for Uncle Jim👍 I think we did him proud!
This makes me really emotional. Great work guys Uncle Jim would be proud.
I like the 5 slots
Hi
Looks great, you guys definitely did him proud.
Looks crazy bro just needs some engine mods please or engine swap🤔
I’m Uncle Jim’s brother Greg. He was my older brother who always made me proud.
Yes, he loved that car & what JR Garage has done brings tears to my eyes! What a tribute! His memory lives on for his family & for all of The JRGarage family who have been part of the relationship thru the Torino Project!
They really out did them selves on this one! The reveal was awesome as that beauty made its way up the road to the house he built. That paint glistening in the sun, those new wheels & tires taking it over the top! The reveal made Jim’s memorial something really special!
Jeffery was right when he said you could feel Jim’s presence!
I’m proud of you JR Garage!
Love it when you two call me Uncle Greg!
Thanks for dropping in Uncle Greg! Thanks for always supporting the CZcams videos, encouraging us to chase our big goals, and letting us sleep on your couch when we were up there filming :) We had such an amazing day sharing the car with everyone and turning an unfortunate situation into something we could all smile about. The Torino looks new, and we're happy you got to see the transformation in person. See you again soon!!!
JR Garage 🥺
Not gonna lie, when one of the family members said “Jim’s Home” when the car rolled up the driveway, I lost it.
Leave the motor alone, the more you customize the car the less of Uncle Jim there is. Let it be the car he loved.
I also cried when someone said that too.
The guy that did the restoration strikes me as a really good guy. Glad you guys found him.
Steve of The Rusty Fender really put his best foot forward on this project. It was as tho Uncle Jim was a close friend!
I know he wanted to give it his best because what a cool thing for JRGarage & all those who donated parts & paint to help this be the success it was!
I’m so proud of the boys & I wear my JRGarage hoody with so much pride!
Yes.I was moved by him....What a great person...
He is indeed. We're lucky we found him!
not gonna lie couple tears came out during this video thinking of riding in my torino when i was 3 years old. I need to get the ol girl going.
This Torino had such a good life and it will continue to have it’s great life may uncle Jim Rest In Peace ❤️
good to see people still have love for the classics.
Jim hired me to do the initial work on his Torino and I just now learned of his passing while watching these videos. I really enjoyed visiting with Jim as I began this restoration. I'm so happy to see this beautiful car come together. Awesome 👌 job on paint & reassembly Steve!
This car is a neck breaker! I love the paint its perfect
Thank you! I wish you all could see it glowing in person :)
You guys picked the right guy for the job you can tell he poured his heart & soul into restoring the Torino looks sweet great tire and wheel choice 😀 Very heartwarming video definitely choked me up watching your family gather in memory of your uncle.
Omg finally! For Uncle Jim, let’s go!
dude this just became my favorite channel....i have a 72 gran torino
Ayeeee good choice! Fun car!
@@JRGarage it was my fathers! Just need more income to get her going she needs alot of work.
@@JRGarage do you remember 'gran torino' w/clint eastwood? its one of my favs! and it stars a green 72
@@yeoldeseawitch best color choice ever!!
I have one as well...GTS in Bronze Ivy Metallic. Always the only one at car meets.
You surelly made your uncle Jim very proud!
Steve absolutely killed that restoration!! Seems like a great guy too!
thank you
The lambos are cool but this classic ford is an AMAZING WORK OF ART!!! I grew up around cars like this which is what got me hooked on cars. There is something about driving a classic that will always stick with you. Your uncle had to be one very cool guy to love and cherish this car until the end. I have personally gained respect for you for making his dream come true. Much much props.
Damn, I almost started crying at "Jim's home" when the car pulled up. Great video and outstanding restoration.
Simply an incredible job by the Rusty Fender. A true rolling tribute to your Uncle Jim. :) Thank you for rescuing this family treasure!
it always amuses me - its just a car - but like so many who follow a good project like this - finally the reveal - i'm blown away - steve shows just what a car of this standing needs, its not just restoration its so much more - i'm sure you boyz and the family will get a few shivers from ya Uncle Jim - bless
What a neat tribute. These are the cars that I remember and love. Way to go, guys!
Im kind of jealous of the car its too good too perfect man uncle jim would be so proud of you
I bought a 72 Gran Torino sport with a 351cj and 4 speed with money left to me by my mother in 1998. It was rotted out, but the motor was a beast for an 18 year old. I bought another in 02, swapped motor transmission, gauges and hood. It’s slowly dying in my driveway due to lack of funds. But it means so much to me, I’ll never let it go. It’s a beautiful car and fun cruiser. So glad to see what it could be and this one being saved. Great job!
Omg. The car has turned out to be a work of art. Uncle Jim would be so proud for what you guys have done. It's great to see the car will stay with the family forever
This is a beautiful way to honor a very special person in your lives. Y'all definitely made him proud...he's smiling down on you guys
Jeffery, you and Christian are fantastic young people. You are a true inspiration to all young folks today. Keep on being the super great inspirational guys you are. You make America proud.
That's great u got that nice Gran Torino restored for ur family & Uncle Jim. I think he's smiling. The JR Garage did a fantastic job.
I'm so happy that you were finally able to bring back a family heirloom. Success to you both on your coming upgrades. Happy motoring!!!
Good for you guys for bring this alive for your family, in your uncles memory. You’re good kids!
The new Wheels make the black grill really go together. Great job on the car. These tribute cars are extra special and I'm sure your uncle is looking down and beaming with pride
Currently restoring my late father's 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000, this video series is exactly what I'm going though at the moment. It sat in our garage for 26+ years and now is getting painted. Can't wait to drive it in few months time and enjoy it as much as he did.
Great video guys ❤️.
Good choice in colour love it!!
I love the paint. The wheels look dope on that car. The car came out absolutely amazing. And I believe that your Uncle Jim is looking down at youse smiling. Happy that y'all brought his baby back from the grave. I hope to see it in more videos. And may your Uncle Jim rest in peace next to our lord and fathers side Amen.
The paint looks even better than I thought and the new wheels give it more life!
Awesome build. You guys made Uncle Jim proud!
Beautiful job! As for future modes, I say think of your Uncle Jim; what would he want in his car? I'm willing to bet money, that he would want you to do nothing more to it. It really is perfect! 🏆! And Steve? I applaud you! 👏👏👏👏👏 👑!
🐰
Not everyday a beautful piece of American history is restored to such a high degree
I have a 72 Gran Torino that I bought back in 2013 to restore with my pops, but after some tranny issues she’s just been in the garage for some years. Y’all videos have inspired me to get back in there and bring her back to life. Rip uncle Jim.
This shape....this car is so beautiful. American art. Stunning. Great job. Do the suspension motor maybe the interior - because this will never be back. We need videos like this in these dark times. Made my day as I think this is such an iconic car and takes me back to happier times. Uncle Jim and I are close in age and I know he would be so happy to see it come back. Please do more on this all time favourite show.
You definitely made your uncle Jim proud guys!
Y’all made Uncle Jim proud, no question he was looking down on that reunion with a big smile on his face
plz plz don't stop the Gran Torino, keep it up and keep us fans updated!!!
What a great thing to do for your family and to honour your uncle Jim. Good job guys!
Gotta love them Montana boys putting in work!
You definitely made your uncle proud. Way to go, guys. So much heart went into this, and it really does show.
Really digging the Gran Torino build! Your Uncle was indeed there!
Wow,, so amazing!!! Great job Steve !!! Coolest video too!!
Definitely rebuild the motor. The car deserves it and also upgrade the suspension. Nothing too crazy but new upgraded parts on a classic is always a plus. Uncle Jim would definitely be proud!
Car guys in MT do it right 🤘🏻 congrats on the restoration! It’s beautiful.
Thanks 👍
This was the best! What an awesome project for the family! God bless!
Spectacular! What a beauty! Brought back memories of my dad's '77 Ford Thunderbird, which shared a lot of components with the Gran Torino.
congratulations, you made a 45 year old man 5000 miles away (scotland), who never met you, or uncle jim, or the car... leak a little eye fluid, watched from the start and i'm proud of you, so i can only imagine how his family feel. and you saved a classic from the scrapheap into the bargain. kudos.
Well thank you very much for that nice comment. We are thrilled with how it turned out!
SO beautiful!! You guys did amazing job. "Jims home" touched my heart
Great job guys, your Uncle would have been really surprised.
I had a '76 in red with a white stripe that was added before I owned it. I drove it until the engine (351 W) finally died and I was working on installing a 302 BOSS when I joined the Air Force after High School. My parents sold it to clean up their yard and the kids that bought it totaled it a few months later.
I miss that car, it was the first one I bought with my own money when I was in school. The 302 BOSS I bought from a friend and we spent the night in a parts store with one of the employees completely rebuilding it. I loved the car and wish I still had it from time to time, but now I have a new project in the form of a '79 F250 Ranger that will eventually become my business/work truck.
I think you definitely made your Uncle Jim proud!
When I was a kid back in 1972 I seen these and several other ones on the road. The 72 had a classic design and only the 2 door coupes had that distinctive grill and light set-up. You folks did great on the restoration.
Love the paint, clean lines, black grill and the wheel package. You guys knocked it out of the park. Great work
as a human being .. memories are the only thing we keep it with us forever ❤️ ..
the guy who made this possible have put his heart 💔 and soul in this car .. when he unrap the front no plate his heart fill with warmth and eyes with water and voice become heavy ..
love u Jr garage family ❤️ ..
Wow!! Car turned out awesome ! Keep it in the family and hand it down.
Huge shout out to Steve, such a nice guy and the Torino turned out absolutely amazing. Fantastic job!
I cried during the whole video. Tears of joy.
Well done you brilliant young men you have certainly made your uncle Jim so proud and by the way he was always there when you were doing that project believe me so well done
Great u were able to restore yr uncles car. Torino was a very special car. I had a 73 Montego, sister to the Torino, bought new and special to me.
Very touching story and video.
I saw the slotted mags after you spoke about the wheels and my heart sank a little. When you revealed the magnum 500s that was exactly what I was thinking. Good choice👍
We all knew you would but yes you've definitely done uncle Jim proud 👌
Good Job, keeping these alive is everything!
I'm not crying, you are
This was just wholesome I love it
You guys are great guys dedicated to your family needs and the memory of your great uncle! He is looking down very proud of you guys! Cheers! Now for the straight piping! Very emotional here!
Fantastic paint job! That hood scoop is killer! Great wheels guys. Such a great job Rusty Fender did. Bravo! 🔥
Great job done by everyone in this video it was so nice to see family talk abt the memories of their uncle with his old favorite car.
Perfect. Don't mess with it. It has it's own story as is.
Man I would love to have one of these again. My first car was a red 72 Gran Torino with vinyl top. Engine locked up on me in 89 and I left it at my dad’s after I got married. He had it picked up and crushed after a year of sitting up on blocks. : (. This was a great video. Brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for posting.
Been waiting for this one for so long, let’s go!!!
PAINT WORK TOO AMAZING
Keep the engine and car stock🙏🏼It has soul and charm as is🔥
the attention you get in the old cars! i have a ‘67 Dart Convertible and it’s crazy the looks, the waves, the thumbs ups! great job on the rebuild! it looks amazing!!
R.I.P uncle Jim, gone but never forgotten. Absolutely lovely motor
Great job guys. Your uncle would be proud of you.
I had always wanted to find my dad's 1969 Torino GT fastback and buy it back for him. It was royal maroon with the gold c-stripe. 351/FMX with red vinyl bench seat. He was my absolute hero, and I know how much he loved the car. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2019 after a nearly year-long battle with an extremely rare form of sarcoma.
This year, I found the car and I bought it back. It's currently undergoing media blasting and we are about to start body work.
You guys did an amazing job with this project, and I wish you all the best in the future.
Steve-----He is the man....!
Beautiful tribute to Uncle Jim…Rest In Peace Brother…!
One of my favorites videos of your channel!
Wow, thanks!
Great morals guys! You guys seen genuine family oriented people ! Car looks great , wheels on point!
Appreciate it!!
JR Garage thanks you for the reply As well! Also big fan of you guys. Thanks for all the great content!
Wish I could like this a hundred times! What an awesome thing to do for your Uncle Jim. Awesome tribute. You’re both so generous and kind. Keep on doing your thing.
Great project for the family. Making Memories.
Well done boys. Great tribute to Uncle Jim.
So sorry to hear about your Uncle Jim. You guys made him proud. Rest in Piece Uncle Jim.
I've been waiting for this. This was just beautiful. I wasn't expecting to get choked up, watching CZcams videos tonight. My hat's off to you guys.
Your uncle is proud of you for restoring his car
The pictures actually made me cry ..so nostalgic ..
You guys have made Uncle Jim proud. Rest In Peace legend.
The guy from Rusty fender seems so kind and friendly 😌😌
Loved seeing something old school on the channel, especially something with sentimental value. 👍🏼 well done
i have never commented under any of your videos but this is the best video you have ever made ....!!!!!!!! keep up the good work:)
The new wheels look the best. Awesome car!!!
Hi guys ! Such a moving and awesome profile. Rest in peace Uncle Jim.
What a fantastic and emotinal time you two have been through. Thnx for sharing it with the world. We need a lot of these positive energy right now.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Made me feel very emotional. Love the car love the hard work and everyone making this rebuild possible. Thanks for the video guys. RIP uncle Jim
Absolutely stellar job with the restoration. Definitely did Uncle Jim proud!
I was getting emotional and I never knew Uncle Jim. In terms of engine upgrades, you have to keep it street-able. Like 4-500 horsepower max. Definitely a supercharger to fit in that hood. ♥️
THAT FINISH! is immaculate,your Uncle Jim would be proud.Rest well Jim rest well.
This is so nice. I want to do this for my dad as well. He had an Audi 80 whne he was a young lad himself and I want to restore one for him and surprise him before he passes away, so he can enjoy it. It fills my heart with joy to see people like you guys to do this. I love cars myself and I can't wait to save up enough to restore the car my dad had. You guys are amazing. Never let anyone tell you different!
