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.

Don’t think for a moment I won’t try!!?

Yes thank god!!!

I was thinking ..... Cobbled up mess

Just wait!

I put the oil pan and headers out of the TBird kit on the Chevy engine?

Painted ! Sharp looking paint job even without all the decals

Yep shouldn’t have that style valve cover though. They didn’t start with those shield thingeys till later.

Absolutely

Dude that looks killer man

Junies cars were always beautiful. And usually pretty good cars. Just not good enough to win against the factory boys. Lots of top tens though.

Dave Van I don’t know how many races it was like this. But I have a picture with Ramo at Talladega Dick Brooks at Michigan in August. I have another with Jackie Oliver. Forgot what race. This car was painted differently in back also. The picture with Jackie shows the color more accurately. The car was Acapulco blue.

Man getting decals done and finding cheap Johan bodies is my holdup. Some of my cars have been in the works a long time. Behind the scenes. I’ve been researching some of the obscure ones for years.Often times I’ll paint a whole bunch then set them aside. I can build a simple stretch chassis Torino or Chevelle in about two weeks not including body and paint. I have been on a roll lately. There is one Torino that is eluding me. Six years and no progress. Marvin Welty owned it Dick Brooks wheeled it to five DNFs in 1972. I won’t stop till I find a better picture. You can just see the frt corner in the top picture. It’s driving my ocd butt nuts

That might be Dave Marcis

And they were the best looking Ford ever built. 72 Montego GT the prettiest Mercury ever.

Truth right here! Junie was one of the sports greatest.

This is the end result I’m after

Here is the resin hood I blocked off the scoops to. And the engines first test fit .
