Here are some pics of my 72. Purchased in 2001 and restored over 4 years completed in 2004. Car was originally from London Ontario and was being used as a drag car when I picked it up.

I have tons of pics before and during, they are not digital so I gotta still figure that out or just take the time a get it done. The car was pretty rusty and neglected, it was painted 9 times and was a dark green, I replaced both rear quarters, the drivers door and front fender along with both bumpers and valances. I had to fabricate both floor pans, trunk pan and cut the top off the firewall to replace the fresh air intakes. Basically every thing was done including powertrain and wiring.

This picture is 2018

The new wheels look great!  I saw Rick's Torino this past weekend at a car show.  Pictures don't do it justice, it's a really well done car.  Rick does great work.
