gks1964 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 With a great deal of help from Tim and his vast knowledge of this Montego's. I'm trying create a 76 NASCAR body. I started with the Revell 1975 Torino. Here we go! This what we have so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 It is looking great!!!! One of the issues this Torino has is the trim on top the door. It is too thick and raises the door and line making the openings to small, especially the 1/4 glass , Revell added the height of the entire piece to the top of the door and 1/4 glass whereas the trim is almost flat on top the door and rolls over the side. Even it out to open up the window the way it should be. Major kit flaw that drives me insane!!! i marked up one of your pics for reference.

spkgibsonfirebird Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Looks great, How do I purchase one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I want one. My first real stock car was a '72 Torino with a 429 and later a 460. I ran it at one track, my partner at another. The 1st year he won a championship, I was 10th in points and 1st in a snowflake league. It was re-bodied with a '74 Montego body in 1983. Same roof line as the kit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
