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.

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.

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.
