afx Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Body: Original MPC Mercury Cyclone Chassis: Polar Light's Torino Edited May 3, 2014 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogger44 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good lord, that is a beautiful build! Congrats! I don't believe I've seen Benny's ride built before. I have the Model King reissue of the Cyclone that I hope to build into David Pearson's car some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadhawg Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, that IS nice! Did the body just drop down on there, or did you have to make it fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, that IS nice! Did the body just drop down on there, or did you have to make it fit? No, it took some work. But the Polar Lights' chassis and engine is WAY more accuracte than the MPC kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about doing Pearson's car but I decided to do some thing a little different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Mighty nice looking Cyclone , and that 429 looks awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'70 Grande Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Beautiful build! Excellent paint and decal work, plus the chassis-swap and detailing added to that 429 make this an incredible build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Very cool! Great to see more of the 60's-70's cars get some love. Back when the cars were still kinda stock and the "chrome horn" was real metal. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
