Look at any given time there was only a handful of superstars like Pearson Petty and Yarborough. The rest of the field that those guys had to beat was these guys like Ritchie and the other guys cars I build . These guys were the heart and soul of the sport. It’s a lot more challenging to build these cars. The research is hard. But I love the search for pictures and info.The best part of the obscure cars is they usuayhad cooler paintwork than the big guys. They didn’t have a giant sponsor dictating how they want the car to look.

I kinda like it once you get used to it.

1969 Charger red can’t remember the code.

Real nice build.

MPC Torino on an AMT TBird chassis. With Polar Lights wheels. Just a quickie build using kit decals.

Johan body resin hood custom decals. Sitting on a stretched TBird chassis with the Johan rims on AMT tires. Polar Lights 427 Tunnel port engine.

Hemi the gas tank looks real nice. Paint the straps semi gloss black will top it off. Also the top of the console should be woodgrain.

Another evening or two and this will be done.

Rear steer all the way in the seventies with the exception of Bobby Allison built cars. They had short arm 3 link rear suspension too. The Laughlin chassis came out in the early eighties. Beyond that my knowledge is nill. Once the G Body cars went away so did my interest in the sport.

GM stuff is front steer. Engine cage is way different too

Some progress on the Torino

Real nice build.

To be honest I don’t think the 72 ever won a race. Baker won in a 73.

Another in my long list of Torinos. I’m trying to build all the paint schemes run on the 72 Gran Torino Sport Body. I have 11 painted and 8 more to do.

Just finished it Mark

It’s not a Caddy color.

It’s a 73 GM color code 42

Marks stuff is always nice!

I like it!

Those are the best so far. Those flat Holman Moody headers would be awesome to have in scale.

No

The Polar pans not very accurate

Boss 29 pan

The ford oil tank was usually behind the drivers seat. The polar light Torino has a dry sump pan for the 429 engine.
