    I saw something really cool about a week ago that should be out some time next year. That's all I can say......

    I have an unbuilt 70 Cyclone that will get the Torino guts.

    Just a note. The fuel filler is behind the license plate in the 72-up Torinos, unless the car in question is a Ranchero or a station wagon. Then it is in the left quarter panel. In 74-76 cars, the filler is behind a panel in the center of the car between the taillights.

    Best thing about the 66 kit is that it comes with the 65 dashboard. AMT didn't see fit to change it for the 66 annual kit.

    Hold on there, Bubba. 2014, and all the kits still to be introduced before the end of the year isn't over yet, and you're wondering about 2015 already?

    In all this no one has mentioned the taillight installation on this kit. The instructions show the chrome taillight bezels being installed from inside the body. On the real car, the taillight bezels have a flange that hides the edge of the opening in the rear panel of the car.

    My best guess for a donor is the AMT 66 Wildcat. It even has the 65 dash (was never updated for the 66)........

    For sure Dave.

    You can also use the FE engine and either transmission from the 66 Fairlane or 67 Comet Cyclone kit.

    Danno, I say Nay nay. I can't say anything more but to wait and you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Remember that the 72-76 Torino had a totally different chassis (separate frame, coil spring rear, different front suspension) than the earlier Torino/Fairlane. We could get a 72 Montego GT out of this.

    Taillights/rear bumper are different. Trunk lid my have changed to accommodate this. Also the front valence and parking/side marker lights changed.

    I plan to be there for GSL 25. If you are planning to be in Salt Lake during non-GSL times you can contact Mark in advance and make arrangements for a tour of the Museum.

    The rear wheel arch is a Gandini thing.

    61 and 62 Olds Starfire.

    Front grille and bumper are different. Grillework is more flush on the 72 and there is a bar across the top of the dip in the center of the bumper. 72 has the taillights incorporated into the rear bumper. Somebody needs to cast a 71 LTD 2-door........ Hey Kevin, longshot: Do you still cast the 71 Galaxie?
  22. sfhess
    Modelhaus makes a 72. Go to www.modelhaus.com, click "kits", then "Ford".

    The steering wheel in full-size 65 Mercurys was half clear, half colored.
  24. sfhess
    66 Mercury (full-size) kit.
