  1. To be honest the only sheetmetal forward of the doors that will interchange between 72-73 is the hood. And even then the latch is different. The grille and headlight doors are different too. The 73 frt end was much flatter to match the huge frt bumper.
  2. It has the big bumper. It’s been narrowed as they did on race cars
  3. This is one of the most striking model builds I’ve seen in my 54 years. Simply beautiful.
  4. I use 2k automotive clear on them it lays down almost perfectly flat out of the gun. I only polish to knock down a dirt nib here or there.
  5. Most of my builds are just shelf models so I don’t super detail them.
  6. Here you go. I forgot it has a Polar Lights Boss 429 in it too. The TBird chassis is close to a 70s Banjo chassis
  7. Another Torino checked off my list. Paul Jett Handy Andy Torino Johan body on stretched AMT TBird chassis with a resin hood from GKS 1964 Body detrimmed and modified for racing. Custom decals. Ford Wimbledon white.
  8. Yes please finish this. Way cool!!
  9. Killer job man. Who made the wheels and tires?
  10. Does anyone know of someone casting one of these?
  11. Bill how heavy do you think this thing is?
  12. Thanks everyone
  13. Build it!!! It’s a rewarding kit to build.
  14. 1966 Buick code K Turquoise metallic
  15. I really enjoyed this build. Box stock which I hardly ever do. Only mod I did was to adjust the frt wheels back in the wells slightly. They sat too far forward. I wish the rims sat deeper in the tires but oh well.
  16. GKS Charger here in the forum made them they are sweet!!
  17. Let me see if the artwork is still available
  18. The Thunderbird on eBay is not nearly as nice as Paul’s. The windshield shape is completely and utterly wrong. The Johan Torino is the only kit that ever got the shape of the 72-79 Ford midsize windshield correct. This windshield is waaay too flat.
  19. Thanks Steve,that taillight panel was a fight for sure. There is no separation line between the taillights and the black trim part. So it all wants to run together.
