Recommended Posts

this was a johan promo that i got at a yardsale  recently for only  2 dollars   it had a crack in the windshield and the stearing wheel was broken and two of the wheels were broken off the axels   
it was molded in  yellow mustard color   i made a new windshield and gave it a new strearing wheel and colum and added a shifter   which it did not seem to have and  put a new set of tires wheels and axals   on it  and painted the body in testors  extreme lacquer flaming orange  and painted the interior in rustoleum khaki

Looks good !  I really like that year Torino. I bought a new Torino Sport in 73 but they stuck that picnic bench front bumper on it .

thank you   i wonder if you could mod a 72 into a 73   version  i know i also want to make a 71 torino  it has a different grille then either of the two 70 versions

Turned out nice.

You must have picked up a bunch of that Testors paint.

thanks  and the local busy beaver  has a whole endcap near the check out  with testors paints and glues and paint brushes and air brush kits  and the cans  of teasors extreme lacquer are 5.49 cents each

Possibly get close using the front end Starsky and Hutch Torino ????

thats a good idea the front end is pretty close to the 73  just some minor changes to the grille and other areas  and bumper would be needed
