1969 Ford Torino GT
Hey everybody,

I’ve been a lurker for a while but have recently started doing more work on my 1969 Ford Torino GT formal roof with a 351W and FMX transmission. My great grandfather bought this car new and it’s been in the family since. I rebuilt the brakes in 2023 with all new brake lines and did the normal carburetor rebuild to get it back on the road. Lately i’ve had had some more time to start some new projects such as a new dash pad since I needed to get to the gauge cluster to change out some lights and a voltage regulator as I believe the voltage regulator to be my issue with the fuel gauge not working. I’ve also been looking to replace all the weatherstripping and have been having trouble making sure I’m getting the right roof rail seal as most seem to be for fastbacks. I hope to post some information and more pictures as I complete small projects!

Are there more things I need to do so that I am not a probationary member anymore? I've started posting in other areas with pictures and I know the preferred method is a direct upload so we don't lose images. Thanks!

Welcome to.the forum! You have been upgraded to a new member so you have full forum privileges.

My apologies for the delay.  I missed you post and I have to manually update your status, it's not automatic. Only admins can do this process.

All good, I was just worried it was because I had waited so long to post since my account creation. I appreciate the help!
