  1. HI! Great styling. Suddently, it's... 1961! Bravo! CT
  2. Thanks David! I had a 73 Ranchero in 1976, but to me, the front end of the 72, and the pre 5MPH bumpers are the holy grail of Torinos/Rancheros. CT
  3. Thanks Josh! Sharing IS the point on this formidable forum. So much to learn and marvel at all the time! CT
  4. Thanks Oliver! The rollingstock comes from Revell's 2013 Boss 302, with scratchbuilt rotors and calipers. ct
  5. Thank you Mike! It is the third car I paint with that Racing White/Wet Look clear combo, and I was never disappointed. CT
  6. Thanks David! I know that we both lean toward subtle colours. I had a 1/1 73 Ranchero, and I painted it with a 71 Caddy Eldo lacquer, "Willow" white. Almos identical. Nostalgia... CT
  7. Hi Steve! Good idea, I checked it with the Starsky's in my stash, and it would work. Actually, the dash on this 72 IS from S&H. Fits fairly well. CT
  8. Hi! Regarding the Challenger FC, I've been able to build and compare most of them, and in my view, the Johan is the most advanced, body-wise. However, it still has very shallow "cut lines" at the doors and hood, which is odd, since they started from scratch for this specific body. Go figure... CT
  9. HI! The color selection fits the era perfectly. Bravo! CT
  10. Thanks Mark! We both live in climate where the road salt depleted the herd to just a few remaining specimens, alas... CT
  11. Hi Ray! Masterful work, bravo! Your finishing of the powertrain is very realistic, the metal colors in particular. Impressive. CT
  12. Thanks Tom! Stacked and sculpted layers of styrene stock, to be more contemporary... CT
  13. Thanks Bob! Most builders paint those Mustang wheels black, to be trendy. I found they looked great as is! CT
  14. Hi Nigel! With Civid, we all strive for cleanliness, isn't it? CT
  15. Thanks Bill! Just the kit's, with the air scoop molded on. CT
  16. Hi Steve! Thanks. I suspect the snap kit may have a simpler chassis, like a promo? Might be harder to rake to your liking... CT
  17. Thanks Trevor. Those Torinos were slick to start with, so a smidge of lowering adds to the look! CT
  18. Hi Steve! I suspect the snap version may have a promo type chassis-platform. Might complicate lowering? CT
  19. Hi Michelle! Thank you. I know you had a great production in the last months. Keep on! CT
  20. Hi Dave! Much appreciated, thanks! CT
