Ace-Garageguy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Looks really clean. You just reminded me I've wanted to do a straight-axle "what if" gasser from one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockBoresMe Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I used to manage an autozone in battle creek michigan. Thia guy came in with this maverick. He had a torino cobra jet and a tornado hit and dropped a tree across the midsection. It was all origibal and numbers matching. Haggerty cut him a big check and let him keep the remains of the torino. So he pulled the powerplant. Built it up and put it in it. One of my top 10 "met in real life" cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Looks pretty good to me as it sits.Paint the interior, polish the plastic, add a little foil & some detail paint & you'd have a nice model. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark IV Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Got a new promo to mess up. Supposed to be a 71. Looks like a 70. Not sure what I'm gonna do to this one. Only difference 70 to 71 was the ignition moving from the IP to the steering column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Here's my 74 in progress with the wheels you sent. Yes the top is incorrect, but it was a tribute to wife's first car, and it was 4 door. She and her mother loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
