75 gran torino (Copperhead) stylin' pictures

You have really done an excellent job with your project. That car just looks beautiful!

Agreed.  Just love the bumper tuck, especially the way the rear turned out.  Great job!

Thanks, I did the front a little different than others, instead of bringing it up to just below the grill, I left it down even with the bottom of the fenders, more like the factory location and then I made new filler panels for the gap under the headlight, was hoping to just modify an extra set of factory ones I had, but you know how that goes . Anyway, just looked more balanced to me. As for the rear, there is actually no longer a bumper, just the custom lower valance in place of where the bumper used to be. A little risky I guess, I'll just have to stay out of bumper to bumper traffic as much as possible.

It's a highly modified 72/73 lower valance. You would have thought it would have only took a little bit here or there, but it had to be widened, made taller and the pitch had to be modified. I was very determined not to put that ugly bumper back on. Check out my build page, I think I have some pictures of at least part of the process.

casey, i just noticed you shaved the gas door emblem

Lookin' good as always.  The more I see you car, the more I like what you did to it.  It's got to be one of the sharpest 74-76 non S&H Torino's I have ever seen.

Great Looking Torino! One of my new favorites!  

what a view of beauty, looks sexy ,nice job on the rear valance

Never get tired of looking at this car! What a great restoration, and the personalized touches are perfect.

yep looks sharp and the way you did the back bumper delete should make guys take a second look at the 74-76 cars more, very slick.

New shoes with a modern flair. 

NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER JOB ,

I'm beginning to think about something a little different for the front of mine. Something a little sneakier looking in the grill area.
