    Does anyone know what the release-date is for this reissue?

    Excellent build of a challenging kit! It has the right "look" to it! Sure would like to see some more pics of the engine compartment, (from above), and chassis, too!

    Wow! I'm pretty sure a photo of this taken outdoors would convince me it's a 1:1 build! Outstanding work!
  4. '70 Grande
    Beautiful build... both of them! Clean work in both of these; they're quite a pair!

    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.

    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!

    Nice! Has a great look and "feel" to it! Your paintwork and color choices are excellent! There's alot to like about this build!

    What engine is inside this kit? Is it a 390, or larger? Is this kit, (even tho it was originally-issued several decades ago), a fairly accurate representation of the 1:1? Thoughts; anybody?

    I'm actually in-progress on the 1991 issue of this kit. It can be built as a regular LT-1 or as a ZR-1. The differences are the wheels, (Chevy chromed-Rally wheels for the LT-1; open-steel wheels for the ZR-1), and the 350 engine's ignition, (covered shield arrangement for the LT-1 and open distributor and coil for the ZR-1 version). The dashboard is blanked-out where the radio should be, and the decal sheet includes a radio-face decal, so that difference is covered, too.

    Really, really like this build! I agree; raising the roof was an excellent adjustment! A really sweet ride!

    A beautiful build! What is that little beast when built; about 4-1/2" long?!?!?
  12. '70 Grande
    Beautiful build! I have always thought the Red tailights on this kit seemed a little "off" if compared to the 1:1. My eye tells me that the tailights are a little too tall vertically, but I can't confirm if that's what my eye is seeing or not. My compliments on your execution of these tailights; it appears as though you've added some vertical, chromed-strips to break each tailight down to three, long, horizontal lense sections. Can you comment on how you enhanced those tailights for me? Thanks!

    A very nicely done build! Is this the AMT 1970 LT-1/ZR-1 kit or another AMT Corvette kit? I sure would like to see a couple more photos, especially a straight-on side view to see how your model "sits" on the ground!

    Considering the faults with this kit, your build looks excellent! I'm intrigued by the tailights on this build; were those on the decal sheet? (Apparently all cats think they need to be the center-of-attention; i know mine does!)
  15. '70 Grande
    Excellent build and concept/story behind it! Now, tell us a little more about the build; what chassis did you use under that great looking T-Bird body? Wheels/tires? Engine? We wanna know more!
  16. '70 Grande
    This build is gonna have alot of onlookers; myself included! I'm curious what your plan is for doing the graphics of the 1:1? (I'm also curious what that cartoon dog image is on the front fender?!?!?).
  17. '70 Grande
    I'll be watching this build as you finish it up! That thing looks "ready-to-launch" right now!!! I'll be interested in seeing how you alter the Wedge engine's valve covers to look like AMC units; I've got a project or two that needs more accurate looking AMC valve covers so seeing what you do will be of great interest to me!

    I know that at one time R&R Resin made a 1/25 1968 Ford Torino resin kit, but I am actually searching for just the resin GT grill/front bu,mper piece; does anyone know if the '68 Ford Torino GT grill/front bumper has ever been available as as separate resin piece, and if so, who sells it?
  19. '70 Grande
    I think this one only builds-up as a Street Rod. I am in the middle of building this kit, (I've had it nearly 20 years which shows you my "build-rate"), and still get excited about it when it finds its way back onto my workbench and I make a little bit of progress on it. I've seen built-ups of this kit both with and without the fenders, and that's the question that I now wrestle with; do I want my build to have its fenders or be fenderless? Guess I'll make that final decision when the paint for the body starts getting sprayed! Good luck on your build Uncle Scott; post some pics as it goes... maybe they'll inspire me to finally finish my build!

    Stunning build! Your paint and decal work is outstanding!
  21. '70 Grande
    Casey, Yes, they are those same tires as found in the kits you mentioned. Do you need a set of them, 'cuz I won't be using the ones that came in my Sunbeam Tiger kit?
  22. '70 Grande
    Very nice build! What did you do to make those headlight lenses look so good? Did you glue clear-plastic lenses over the top of the chrome-molded lenses?
  23. '70 Grande
    Oh, and by the way, welcome to the forum! Your builds look really well-done; keep posting more!
  24. '70 Grande
    I found your post of that Freightliner; it looks awesome, too!
  25. '70 Grande
    Really, really like this build!
