Hi all, first time on a forum, got a lot of good info from this site while I was getting my Torino done. I am the third owner and got her in the summer of 1988. After roughly 20+ year of collecting parts and looking for a decent body shop I was finally able to get her done. Looking forward to visiting this site often. Here are a couple of pic's.   photo 272_zps0e90de6b.jpg photo 271_zpsc6fee853.jpg

Nope, started life as all yellow with the side moldings, in high school I had a Starsky and Hutch black strip put on, then when I had the body work done last winter spent many a night trying to come up with a different looking stripe for the car. Between me and the painter we came up with this.

Very sharp looking car! I like the personalization of  the stripe. Post up more pix, and please tell us your Torino story.

Yea, that's what gave me the idea for the front part, didn't like how it ended when we were taping it up so we changed up the back part of the stripe.

Welcome!  Love your Torino!  I'm not usually much of a stripe man.  But yours looks amazing!  Tastefully done.
