Hi all I have been looking on this forum for a long time but have never posted. I have been working on my 71 Torino HT going on about 7 years now on and off as time allows, some of you may know me and my project from the Torinocobra.com forum I have the same user name on there. I am from West Mi. just north of Grand Rapids. I like looking at the project threads there are a lot of grate builds going on here! last fall I picked up a very crusty 72 Ranchero mostly to part out and help fund my project I have quite a few parts left so I will be sure to post up some pics of what I still have.
Here is where my rig is at. |

Welcome to the forum. Looks like a great torino in the making there. Also jealous of the rotisserie and my garage wasn't that clean when we bought the house.

Thanks guys! it has been a labor of love more or less, Most people probably wouldn't put this much time into a base model Torino but I have never taken a car down to this point and brought it back to life so it has become more of a personal goal for me now, plus I enjoy working on it! I have done other body work in the past but nothing like this.
