Quite the project.

Incredible skills.

Good job!

Let’s face it, all old cars are cool not just Pontiacs.

I'm not a louvre guy at all. But doing that yourself takes some serious patience! Nice work!

Very impressive work! And good rare car as well. I owned a 71 Mach1 429 CJ And that is an impressive engine. Mine was C code so had the big automatic. Anyway WOW on your ability's. My Mach had the louvers and they were not nearly as nice as what you have built!

You've got some skills sir.
How about some pics of the car? Last of the good looking Torinos IMO.
