The inside looks real good too.Now how about some motor pictures. Whats next for your Torino,which I feel is one of the most over looked Fords.

I snapped some of his car the other day. Here's a link of his car. It took him 7 years to get it to look like this, it is nice. http://communities.msn.ca/MyFordandMercury/addyourphotos.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=894 Rick IP: Logged
MLariviere Moderator Posts: 2538 From: Biddeford,Me.USA Registered: May 99	posted 06-02-2002 09:44 PM Thanks everyone! Scoop,bumper to bumper,2800. My next project will be 4 wheel brakes,and the front end. I need some strut bushings. Also rear springs. This thing wallows bad. That 4V Cleveland still has a tip in problem every so often. I'm almost there. I think if I rebuild the Holley,and toss the Edeljunk I'll be in business. I should have the gas tank sealed too. If that doesn't do it,I'll turn it into a 7k grenade,and build up a big block. I love showing hotrod ricers what second gear is all about. Oh,and last thing is to find them damned near to impossible to find wheelwell trim moldings. IP: Logged

I had doubts about the vinyl roof as I'm not a big fan of them, but it looks good. You only have $2800 in the car? I wish that's all I had into my truck and it's nowhere near as nice. What's your secret? IP: Logged

The paint has orange metalflake that really comes out in the sun, but it looks chestnut on overcast days.
