Good morning all,

I have a 1968 Torino (Originally my grandmothers) then passed down to me in High School in the snowy midwest and therefore rusty and am working to restore it. I'm hopeful to get some help on OEM dimensions so I can verify prior to welding in new rail ends/trunk/floor pan etc. Smile

Glad to be a part of the group and will upload a photo.

Hi Dan,

You uploaded the photo fine, but you forgot to insert the photo into the post after it was uploaded. I added into the post for you. Once you get the hang of it, it's not too hard.

We have a post on how to upload if you need help:


BTW, looks like a great Torino!

Love these stories. Makes it all the more interesting to see these machines when they are family owned since day one. Welcome.
