  1. Here is a update on the grille.Also a pic of how amt modified the trans pan to clear their crossmember mistake.
  2. I kind of stalled out on this at the interior.Also the chassis is irritating me.Seems the amt 69 442 chassis has the trans cross member to far forward.This limits you to using the 442 trans or the interior won't sit down right. I'll get pics later.
  3. If I knew how to cast I would do it.
  4. A couple pics of progress on the grille
  5. I'll post pics tonight of frt bumper mods.
  6. Excellent.Love oddball cars.
  7. The yellow car is a model of my 68 GS 400. I wish I would have fixed the front end shape on that one too.
  8. Started with a Perry'sresin 1968 GS. Removed all 68 trim.Then added the correct 69 trim. While I am at it Iam correcting the front shape,rear window shape and wheelwell shapes.
  9. 427 engine going together.
  10. Larry I used Standox waterborne automotive paint.I hate it for real cars but it works great for models.I usually custom mix all my colors by eye.
  11. Thanks for the compliments.
  12. Have you ever built a model of a car you didn't particulary care for? Well I built this Belair that I don't really like and painted it colors I don't really like.Now it has become one of my favorite builds.Funny how does that happen
  13. Looks cool.I agree do something with that grille.
  14. Bob I used a leftover from a 62 Electra I built.Harry nic try lightening the pic,but the color is more like the original photo,it is really dark.
  15. I love this build. My grandpa had a 68 Polara the same color blue with a white vinyl top and a blue interior. Had a 383 2 bbl engine.
  16. 1970 Wildcat.I relieved it of its roof and painted it a custom mixed burgandy with a pearl white interior.
  17. Got some more done on the chassis. Stretched 90's Thunderbird.Re did some of the upper rollbar to better fit the Torino body.
  18. Chassis is mocked up
  19. Nice looking Mercurys. I really like the Panch 1973 car.Who's GT body did you use? mine didn't have a separate rear bumper.
  20. Thanks guys!
  21. The only set ofElmo Langley decals I've seen have yellow numbers. How would I get in touch with Dave Van?
  22. Nice Torino.Love 70's nascar big boats slammed to teh ground looked so cool.
  23. Going to have to make the decals. I can't find a font that is exactly like these numbers. May have to start from scratch.
  24. Elmo Langley's 1972 Gran Torino Sport.
  25. More pics.per requests. Not sure if engine should be blue.It shouldn't be a boss nine .Should be a 351 Cleveland but the boss looks more impressive.
