This is my first build in around a year, so i’m pretty rusty and only had almost empty, sputtering paint cans to utilize. About everything went wrong with this build, from fitment issues to paint spills, which i remedied with varying success. Overall, I’m proud enough of this build to post it. The main fitment issue is pretty obvious: the cab and the bed do not line up. Since I give a story to all the kits I build, i’m pretending this truck got in a little accident back in the day and bent its frame or body. The hood also had some fitment issues, which can be explained from another accident close after the first. Thanks for reading my essay, feel free to critique!

This is super unique and awesome!

Corvette C7R, Baja Bronco, and a 1976 Chevy stepside.

I haven’t posted since this spring and intend on posting some more. This is about my 5th or 6th model so I definitely have some improving to do but I’m very happy with how this turned out.

Oops lol.

Thank you! The numbers are at that angle so you can see them better when looking from the side.

Thank you!

I used the Bobby Allison Coca Cola liveries from his charger. Around the same era and he drove a Torino too. I like the white coke and the gold numbers. Let me know if I should raise the Gold 12 up a little.(this is my 4th build so any tips are welcome)

Sorry for the blurry picture

I’m fixing to start the decal work and finishing touches on the Torino. This is only my 4th build so I’ve got some learning to do. Can you put clear coat over decals? And if you can, what is the safest way to do it? Thanks! P.S - Tamiya TS-94 is such a cool color in person.

It did! I’ve seen videos of people doing this and I think I might try it next time I do a rust build. I’ve done dry brushing but never the salt method.

That looks great! What method are you using for the rust?

I’ve rusted the body and frame, mismatched some of the panels, and cracked the hood and other areas. Any tips to weather the seats?

You can also use Google translate if needed. You can look through the camera and it translates it in real time.

That looks great! I’ll definitely be referencing all of these!
