Without the guns, I'd say it looks like a patched up Saturday night special.

How the heck could you see to drive it?

DUCT TAPE!

No offense was taken. Was stating many simple, old tool kits make many of the detailed new tool kits look bad. Especially these old Johans. This kit and build looks great as is. Would not change a thing.

Looks good, it is next on my list. Were the axles too long? I just finished the Tennessee Trooper car. I enjoyed it very much. I did do some painting on the chassis and swapped out the tires for something a bit wider

Lookin good

nope.... too short

Great build on this kit. wonder if that chassis fits the 40 Ford? Looks very familiar I like that you opened the door window opening. The flat part you removed looks odd, but is correct.

I do not care if it is super detailed by the manufacturer or the builder, these are very cool and this one is really sharp

LOL.... I was thinking a Chevette engine, but you are right, no engine is better

looking forward to getting that one also

Try the 72 Nova as a donor. I do not understand why they have the street tires but the chassis is tubbed. Making mine a pro street, and going to try a conversion to stock on another.

I did find one.... Wish i could locate a real one. New, they were sharp. Just a paint and interior package. Was available on Mustangs and Pintos in '80

I looked... nothing

A friend threw a rod on a slant 6 Diplomat. Broke near the crank, big hole in the block. He drove it 15 miles home! i remember him showing it to me, saw the hole and the darn thing fired right up. Volares and Aspens usually had no front fenders around here. I saw one with the springs thru the trunk. The only bugs were that lean burn set-up. Ford And GM had their ignition module issue periodically. Otherwise, they were all pretty bulletproof if the bodies did not fall off. Styling was not that bad, The Mavericks, Novas, and Volares were all pretty sharp with the right paint and wheels. Even the Pintos and Vegas could be made sharp. Vega GT, Pinto Rally, AMX (Spirit) all pretty good looking from the factory. Many I'd love to own today. Anybody remember the special edition Mustang and Pintos from 79 or 80? Black with gold stripes. Cannot find a photo anywhere.

Imagine the backlash if they made an Obama funny car?

Santa did not bring me any, but my son got an Impala Police Car, Rapto Truck and a 2015 Mustang. My daughter got a 34 Ford Street Rod.

I tend to agree, the cars of the 70's were given a bad rap IMO. Dad had a Pinto he literally drove into the ground, Had in excess of 150,000 miles and he sold it for $25 to a guy that needed an engine. I recall that guys wagon on the road for a few years after. Same with the Granadas he had, drove the dog out of them and never really worked on them other than general maintenance. In the early 90's I had a 77 LTD II 2 door that I bought with 110,000 miles that cost me a whopping $100. My fiance drove it a lot and I recall one morning it was well below zero and blowing like a blizzard outside and her dads Mazda truck would not start, neither would her moms Bonneville (both fairly new) She said he could jump them off the Ford, and his stubborn self said "If my cars will not start, that old heap isn't going to" A few minutes later she went in the house and told him "The car is warming up if you want to jump yours" We never heard another bad word about the "heap" He even complimented the heater in the car that day. Even today, I'll take a 70's/early 80's Ford/Merc over a new car. My daily is an 82 Thunderbird. For precautionary reasons, I have a coil and ignition module in the trunk. That's about all that could strand me..... unless I am out of gas.

Now that's cool. More of a Street version

The chassis is not bad, the Revell Nascar chassis has rear coil springs, where the actual Cyclone race cars still used the leafs

Revell could easily make a stock one using the 70 Torino parts. They would need the body, bumpers, rear glass. Different dash, but the Torino is really close

I have used those for windows also. Off to get some donuts.

Whoa! Great looking builds.

I like all of 'em!
