Vince311 started following 1970 Torino bucket seats with headrest and 1/16 General Lee firewall and wheels

Indeed. Feb 2018. They did a very nice write up (aside from spelling my last name wrong). lol.

Yes, the brougham (hard top) is a great design. I had one, but unfortunately used it for a parts car. I liked the lines way more so than the fastback variant. The dashes look cool, but are a pain to remove and replace. cheers!

Not dead....just stalled out with life projects.

Working getting the Mach 1 mustang to sit in the Torino chassis. Little trim and shim. Also added an actuator to the Air cleaner. 1:64 scale interior is coming along. Top removed and shaving the fast back deck. Found a donor with perfect bench seat. 1:18 scale interior is shaping up (removed console).

Looking for the buckets that came in older 1970 Torino cobra and GT kits. These have the rounded headrests. I have the accurate buckets, that actually came in these cars as trade. Or we can figure something out. Thanks. Vince

Vince311 started following Chevy/GMC side molding
-
Awesome! I’m in west linn
-
Thank you! Looks like super thin styrene strips. That could work. I think etching might be a bit to much. This should be fun
-
I’m going to be building a Chevy Swb truck similar to the one in photo. I’ll be Using the snow plow gmc truck as a starting point. what is the best way to create the body molding? (As circled) thanks!

thank you! I bought the one i have a couple years back....and don't recall what it was off of. Eyeballing it....i think it will work as far as length/width. the back window will need to be modified. I've seen one done that used a '65 Impala top and boot. these were big cars! I've been keeping my eye open for some of those bigger late 50's - early 70s convertibles for the parts. The boot on my car is particularly flat...dare i say concave. I figure that once the hard top is cut off, i can get more serious about top/boot dimensions...
-
Yep. Same car. Sans the sheep skin seat covers and body line moldings. We hit a deer in ‘87, so the grille was eventually replaced with a hideaway set up.
-
I actually really like the top up. White/red Here i am at 7 years old, and then my son after the restoration....Same neighborhood.
-
Great fab work. That 70.5 falcon is legit! I’m looking at 59 impalas as a boot donor.
-
To make this project more challenging, I’m attempting to build three scales in parallel. I think building the 1:1 was actually easier. ?
-
Ha! It’s one of 3900~. 351c 2v car. Not super rare, but you generally don’t see them often. The red on red was fairly unique. I restored it to original, although I upgraded the wheels.
