Brian_B Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Nice build. I had a 72 Grand Torino GT and my cousin had the Ranchero GT (same year). Both had the 351 cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.DougBeck Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I love it, I have been thinking about this kit. You did a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 I love it, I have been thinking about this kit. You did a great job! It's definetly worth the price ! I have a couple of resin bodies from other manufacturers and never attempted building them because of the extra work involved . I guess you really do get what you pay for ! And thanks again to everyone for your comments ! BOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm not even a Ford fan and I like this one. I might even be tempted into looking into building my own. Car-trucks like the Ranchero/El Camino/Aussie "Utes" have always appealed to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoman Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I really like your Ranchero, we could do with a few companies here in the uk to do some stuff like this. I would certainly get hold of some. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
340-6 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Wow! That's one awesome Ranchero. Its a shame there aren't more models of these cool pickups out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Great job on this one,hopefully a company like revell or AMT will make a new tool for this in full detail so it doesn't cost triple digits to build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks Jim , Mark , Pauli , and Austin . Austin , Actually the kit costs $55 and I paid less than $5 for the yellow paint . Everything else was just normal supplies I already had , and the engine was in my parts box . I've spent more than that building a styrene kit before ! The best part is the Ranchero body looked as nice as a styrene body , not like a lot of resin bodies available for a lower price that require tons of work before you can even spray some primer !

JasonFL Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Beautiful ranchero Bob. The front ends on those old rancheros are so mean looking. A lot of nice detail, great build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan020 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Very nice looking ranchero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thank you Carl , Gary , Jason , and Johan . I've always loved the front end of this year Torino . This resin piece was really easy to sand and open the grille up instead of using a wash . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I forgot to mention that the Ford Blue on the engine is actually Rustoleum Sail Blue # 7724 . I've used it on a few 1:1 engines and it is a perfect match . It's costs a lot less too ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
