And in the case of the BRE version, it lends itself well to blocked off headlights for the race truck! 👍🏻

Thanks! This one will go on my list. 🙂

Anybody know if the fender blisters are separate pieces? I would like to build one stock, or close to it.

Thank you!

It says 1:25 scale. Is it a variation of the Stranger Things tooling, or just an old Monogram 1:24 mislabeled? My apologies if this seems like a dumb question… I’ve only recently gotten into pickups, so am not familiar with the ins and outs of the various kits that have been run over the years.

Good stuff! Congrats on your haul!

X2!

I read this years ago due to your recommendation on the old Hobby Heaven (now Spotlight) board, and I have to say it was eye opening, enlightening, and entertaining, all at the same time. Definitely second the recommendation.

Won’t be making it this year. Have some health issues in the family to look after. Nothing serious, but enough to keep me from straying too far from home for a few weeks. Enjoy! It’s always a good one!

The maritimes. I haven’t been into a store for several months, but last time I got a Revell ‘70 Torino Cobra. After the 30% coupon was applied, the price was $28 Cdn, a steal at today’s prices. In checking their website, I just noticed they are not showing stock in any stores near me, so I hope that’s just temporary. Seems like a lot of supply chain issues since all this tariff nonsense started, so maybe it’s just that. Since I haven’t actually been in the stores to check the shelves, I can’t even say they don’t have them for sure. Websites aren’t always accurate, I’ve noticed.

They do in my area of Canada.

Me too! I don’t want it taking out any of my other builds on the shelf due to some brake malfunction!

Thanks Dave, I was just thinking in terms of making a relatively easy pro touring Torino with a quick chassis swap, since this one will already have all the bits engineered to fit together nicely. I’m not even sure if the wheelbases are the same, but if so, then maybe it would be close enough to look decent. Just noodling anyhow…

Question for the Ford guys… would it be unreasonable to consider stuffing this chassis under the AMT ‘69 Torino Cobra body? Not familiar with the evolution of the architecture from ‘64 to ‘68. It seems like a natural, as the ‘68/9 Torino fastback looks like it’s doing 100 mph when it’s standing still…

I’ll be the weird guy who says I actually like the ‘72 front end! I always thought the early Jeepster was trying too hard to look like a CJ… but that’s just me.
