just picked up my first Torino! Love this car! It’s a 1970 gt 302 automatic. Red with laser stripe and red interior(bucket seat column shift car). Already started ripping into it.... sat in a back yard for over 30 years! I do all my own work including metal fabrication. I also acquired a shaker hood, air cleaner assembly, rust free fenders, hideaway headlights, and center counsel with shifter... and the other weekend picked up a 1970 date coded 429 4v and c6! This is going to be fun🤪

I wish I knew how from my phone. No tree with a red arrow? This process seems like something from 1995 .... lol!

Welcome Keith! Sounds like a nice Torino you got there - red with a laser stripe is my favourite. When you first join the forum you don't have the ability to upload photos as a "Brand New Member." I have upgraded you to a full privileges as a "New Member" which includes the ability to upload photos.
Here is a thread on how to upload photos: It's a bit dated, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. If you have you photos hosted elsewhere, like picturetrail, you can also posted them here. The instructions are in the link above.

I agree they do look great with hideaways.... but someone probably needs them more than me. I really like the cobra grille😊
