Wow!!!  Those are all very impressive builds!  Its difficult to pick which one stands out the most to my eye, and I'm sure everybody who reads this post will have their own favorite!  Sure would like to see some posts of each of these individually so we can better see the great execution you've put into each one!

It surprises me how much larger overall that #62 1976 Torino is when compared to the others; never thought the size-increase in those 3rd-generation Torinos was that significant.

That is the camera playing tricks on our eyes. That is a 72 formal roof from Motor City Resin. It was tooled from the samebody as the orange one behind it.

That is a future build for sure. I’m trying to do all the 72-3 body Torinos that raced NASCAR.There is one Torino that I want to do that a good picture eludes me. That’s this one This is the only picture I’ve seen of it.Not much to go by.

Looks like #73 from the picture. Here is some info on the car #73. Ran in 5 races in 1972.  Marvin Welty was the owner. Brooks  drove five races for Marvin Welty but failed to finish any of those races. Since he was also driving part time for Junie Donlavey at the time that car could have been one of Donlavey's spares???
