Very nice project Tim! 72 Is my favorite Torino body year and this shell looks very accurate. Superb paint and decal job on this race car from the best era of the NASCAR war!!!

Superb job Jim! Put it under a clear show case to protect it from dust and it will be ready for the next model car contest. Well done sir!!! Are you going to entertain us with a new project since it is almost finished?

Superb job of scratch building Sonny! That's my kind of build and I do apperciate your attention to details! Truly a great work in progress project!

Another super realistic build Brian! The weathering in the box is so real that it is to be confused with the real thing! Well done again sir!!!

Thanks for the kind comment Mike! Take care, Francis

As expected the color is fantastic on the body shell and the choice of color for the interior is just as beautiful as for the outside! ?

Very nice and rare subject Mike! It seem that these AirTrax resin kits are pretty well casted by looking at your pics, I was precisely just wondering if they were worth buying?

Very nice missile Manuel! I really love these Max Wedge engine too. Well done sir!!!

Thank you very much for the superlatives regarding my GTX, I really appreciate it! Take care, Francis

Your daring to drill and cut this dash paid-off Steven, you bring it to the next level and it looks great!

I agree, this is a very beautiful color combo, the body shell will look amazing painted with this superb color!

Superb build Martin! The question is: how low can you go... and your answer is: down to the ground! Well done sir!!!

Superb job Bruce! One of the best build of a Shelby Cobra I ever seen! You can be proud of it sir!

Very nice job you have done on the cab Brian! Really looks like a real workhorse and as others mentioned the paint job is simply fantastic. Well done sir!!!

Thank you so much Ray! The Lenco transmission will be another nice challenge! Take care, Francis Thanks for your constant support Daniel, I really appreciate it! Take care, Francis

WOW! That's very beautiful Jim. Your final choice for the front grille is superb and this car looks amazing! A real Saturday Night cruiser!

Nice job Pat. I really love the shifter on the transmission. Sorry to be so ignorant but I was wondering to know the vehicle and model year this engine was in use? I'm just curious...!

Thanks Scott! I really appreciate your comments! Nice new profile pics by the way! Take care, Francis Thanks for the kind words Tim! I would have preferred to make the bellhousing with brass and welded both parts together but I will have to increase my inventory with bigger rod stock Take care, Francis

Superb job on the frame Mr Teresi. The routing of the hard lines is particularly well done and the details in the cockpit is very well crafted!

I don't see any problem with the pictures Tim, I'm looking at them with my Mac Book Pro and they are all nice and sharp. Those top plates are "top notch" and can't wait to see the next part of this ultra rare carburetor setup!

You made great progress and some very good modifications on the body Ray. I had never seen this car before but based on the pics of the real car at the beginning of the thread I can tell that you're heading in the right direction!

Finally the doors will work...lol. That's great Daniel, this is exactly how I would have tried to make the hinges and I don't see any reason why it couldn't work. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice call to convert it as a diorama Phillippe! This Charger has seen better days but the desired effect is spot on! Very convincing... I think it will bring a lot of discussions at the next model car show! Welcome on board by the way!!!

Good trick for the intake tube Mike! Very convincing and well done, I will be tempted to use this technique on my next projects. Thanks for sharing!

Hello guys, I had some extra time on the workbench and the temperature is simply is horrible here (endless winter...) so I started the build of the transmission. There are some very nice resin or 3D printed version available on the market (Futurattraction or Shapeways come to mind) but I always wanted to make one from aluminum so I give it a try. The first part is the mounting plate, I added the picture of the real one that I will try to reproduce. Comments and suggestions are welcome as usual and very appreciated! Take care, Francis The target. Beginning of the machining of the mounting plate for the Lenco transmission. The mounting plate will be bolted on the bellhousing using 6 brass bolts from Scale Hardware. Mounting plate and the bellhousing side by side.
