Both cars look amazing.  Brent, what is your rear suspension set-up?  

Nice looking Torino's glad you two finally got to meet for a photo op

interesting to compare the stock and custom front end.. they both look great!

Thats great you guys are close by each other, Im really jealous of the nice climate your in, don't you want to drive up here to Maine? 3" snow last night, Maybe next summer I'l be able to talk some northern guys into meeting here at the Motel.  I see you filled your  jack slots in too,   Brents car loooks good  , I would want it gold under the side trim , more stock.

Two beautiful cars. Brents' car probably has the optional two tone paint option. Not sure if it was available in that color, either way it looks great.

It was great meeting you Gary and thanks for hard to find trim pieces! Gary's car is really awesome and he's put a lot of work into it...coolest thing is that he's the original owner. Here's a couple of pictures of the cars by themselves since the others are already posted. Too bad the one shot from the right rear is a little blurry.
The rear of my car is just stock with some air shocks. I might lower it a little and see how it looks. I haven't really had time yet to do a lot of work...just little cosmetic things and front seat upholstery.
As far as the two tone color, I'd have to agree...I'd like it gold all the way down, but somewhere along the line someone put that on there and it'll do for now.

Had a great drive back up to Phoenix today. I tell ya...these Torinos sure are comfortable! Just hit the cruise control and sit back! Like driving my living room!



Head to Head....GTB vs GTS! lol



Nice Grille and Bumper shot



Rear shot from Right...little blurry



Rear shot left...Gary said he had a lower, sport suspension package on the GTS.

Brent I really enjoyed meeting you , I think we could have talked another 2 hours! Enjoy your GTB you have really nice car. Great having someone from the Forum in the same state. Too bad we all aren't closer together, that would be a trip now wouldn't it? Torino's terrorising Tucson lol! The guys in the Crossfire sure stopped dead in their tracks when they saw our Torinos nice change from the Usual Mustang, Chevelle, Camaro. Hahaha!! 

thanks  for the details I figure the sides would have to be cut down just wasn't sure if you still had the center filler.I want to see about tucking the rear bumper tighter as well.since both bumpers need rechroming might as well do a little customizing

I must agree both cars look very cool! Thanks for sharing the pics guys.  

Well no I haven't seen that car around but I will keep my eyes peeled. 22 days eh? Lets do a breakfast run to Florence when you get back! Torino's need a good run! Let me know. Gary

Nice meeting you too Jeff...and a breakfast run sounds good Gary.

Haven't seen a single Torino in Florida yet. Still got 3 weeks and thinking of driving up to Raleigh to see some old friends one of the weekends I have left.
There has been this one old car in a lot I've been passing on my way to work that I'm gonna stop by and take a picture of today. It looks like an interesting one. I'll post the pic here tonight when I get back "Room".

Anyone on the forum live Near Raleigh or Goldsboro NC? Or right off 95 between Jacksonville and Raleigh?

That's a '60 Dodge, you usually see them less often than Torino's.

Yes I stand corrected!! Didn't look right when I wrote it. Hahaha! Well seeing as how I'm in Tucson I guess that northern stuff doesn't apply. lol!  Y'all!
