disabled modeler Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Any ideas thinking it might have been the 73 Cougar and 69 Torino kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Why would you use a 69 Torino? they aren't even the same body style. Just askin......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas1957 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think the Montego & Torino were basically the same car. Start with a Revell '70 Torino. I've never seen a resin one, but they may have used the old early '70s MPC stock car body. Those bodies were MUCH closer to stock than what they run today. Thinking about it I seem to remember that MPC did a street '70 Cyclone which is the same car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Van Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 What year??? For a 72-75 the Montego shared glass and components with the Gran Torino. I built a NASCAR 73 Montego out of a 73 Cougar and 72 Gran Torino. For a 70-71 Montego start with the Model King NASCAR Mercury and Revell 71 Torino and lots of work!

george 53 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 If you want a 70 Montego, and NOT Cyclone, just go to Missing Link resin casters(Part of DRAG) and see Kevins Montego. It is a GENUINE Montego, not a Cyclone, and he uses a resin that looks EXACTLY like Styrene plastic. I had to mark the resin peices with a Magic marker to tell them apart.I believe the cost is around 65 bucks or so, MUCH cheaper and ALOT LESS work that trying to find and convert a plastic kit!!! Hth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
