What Len said. Shorten the frame horns about 1/8 inch. Same with the engine hoop. Cut the hump off the rear firewall and it drops right into the Mercury body.

Dude that’s killer looking!!! If it’s based on a johan cutlass Okey Spaulding still makes that glass I’m pretty sure.

72 Torino is the best looking Ford ever made.72 -3 Montego GT is the best looking Mercury.

I’ll bet Mike does another run of them.

Powerslide makes a killer set for these Earnhardt cars. Has the pinstripes that separate the colors too

A set of those headers would be awesome but probably impossible to fit in a polar lights chassis

I really heed to paint the trans the right color.

Big block Chevy mockup

Test fit of Gerald’s awesome new Boss 429 dry sump pan.,Fits this cars 429 SCJ too. In an AMT TBird chassis! Good news for me!!!

Sometime in the mid seventies builders were allowed to fab the whole frame.Prior to that they had to keep the factory side rails. Heavily modified as they were. Chrysler cars never used the 65 Galaxie derived clip because they had Torsion bar frt suspension . Car had to be sprung like the factory car it represented. In other words coils where coils came factory. Leafs where they came and Torsion bars where they came. The few Chryslers built in the eighties went to the common four coil chassis as NASCAR changed its rules.

No all Ford cars back then were rear steer. I think guys got used to the way they handled so that brought on the wide spread use of them on just about everything in the seventies.

Yes Bud Moore ran a couple shock tower Comets. Problem was fitting and working on a 427 in that small engine bay. That’s when H/M came up with the narrowed Galaxie clip. It was a front frame section with tubes that slid into the existing rocker panels.

So Box-O-Roll cage is done. We have AMT Tbird AMT 72 Monte Carlo, MPC MONTE Carlo and Polar Lights Talladega parts in here.And some evergreen rod. Truck arms are in place temporarily too.

From 66-68 or 9 Holman Moody cars used a 65 Galaxie frt stub. Firewall forward. After 69 it was fabbed copy of a 65 galaxie. This same design was grafted to the frt of full frame cars too starting in 71. Along with the beginnings of the truck arm rear suspension.It would be done like this.

Another one to my painted awaiting completion list.

SWEEET!!!! This one is killer man! Real nice job

That grille is absolutely horrible.

Sweet build. Love those Hudson’s.

One thing that irritates me about this car. The color separation line gives the illusion that the number is crooked. Until you see it is even along the bottom of the door.

This will be a hodgepodge of stuff. MPC body Allison Monte kit chassis with a TBird snout. Cage will be TBird MPC and whatever else it takes. Truck arms from the TBird too.

Real nice build. Can’t believe those decals look that good.

Do a search for Maynard Troyer Torino. I can’t get the link thing to work.

I thought I did a post on this car.

Those are beyond my interest year wise . However they are Buicks which makes them cool. And very nicely done on top of it.

Decals on and cleared.
