Tom this is a different car but I’m doing the same chassis mods to it still need to do a cell on this one. For some reason this chassis had a stock tank molded in.

Chassis and engine painted. Now that I look at it I think I will plate the frt lower control arms for strength.

Thanks all. The Hihan Torino is one of my favorite kits ever. I could build a thousand of them.

I little more done on the chassis. Ready for paint now. Seat belts installed in seat .

This is going to be really nice when it’s done. Nice job so far.

This paint job will test you patience for sure. I still have to sand and polish it a bit.

427 installed and engine hoop made. More details to come.

The other thing unique to this car for this time period was the fact that it retained its factory seat and dash. I have to make a racing gauge cluster to fit the stock dash.

This is how the rear was done on this car. Kinda odd. I like to add some character to the totally flat floor that comes with the kit too.

This car was the last nascar Grand National racecar to be made from a driven home from the dealer new. Built by Red and Bobby Allison in Hueytown Alabama. The kit is a Johan Torino. The rear suspension is scratchbuilt around an AMT 9” rearend. I worked off pictures I had found on line of the rear suspension. Its getting a 427 out of a Polar Lights Talladega.

Cool guys keep them coming!

Nissan should fire its entire styling dept too. Everything they make is hideous even the GT-R. The Puke was bad but what about that Cube abortion? Infiniti isn’t far behind in ugly. The big SUV thing looks like a Sperm Whale. To top it off they are junk on top of it. The Chrysler of Japan.

True and On old race cars the lettering was in fact painted

The best ever left us today. RIP David Pearson post your Pearson builds here

We ran some in the Chicago area. Not as popular as the smaller cars but they worked if set up right.

I always clear over them. Will last forever with my clear. Yes the real cars weren’t cleared over but they didn’t use water slide decals either. A lot of older cars had the numbers and major sponsors painted on . So I don’t care if the real ones were cleared I don’t want messed up decals

I like it . Looks like it could have been.

Yes exactly.

Clarence was from Texas. So was this car. B&B Racing out of San Antonio owned the car.

Revell 70 Cobra on a Polar lights chassis.Custom decals and PPP tires.

It’s really not right but it is similar to what it looks like. Chevys had to get around the rear mount distributor. Do they used a cowl plenum like these.

Thanks men

Thanks guys

They were brake cooling ducts.
