Did they have to do any bodywork to make the front fit?

Front fenders definitely needed "massaging" where the fender-door meets.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires.

No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t.

Yep, Someone put some work into that. The body character lines do not line up, Torino has a bodyline midway up the door that 77-79 doesn't, and 77-79 has a line 6" or so up from the bottom of the door that Torino doesn't.

Wow, that is sharp. Needs a good detailing under the hood and replace the 1980's rent-to-own sofa material inside with original or aftermarket seats and panels. All that engine and a 1200 stall??
