The body and engine are painted now, just the suspension and interior.

Forgot one thing, The engine was rated at 335 horsepower (250 kW) at 5200 rpm, but true output approached 410 horsepower

Ok well here's some info The Ford Torino Talladega was a car produced by the Ford Motor Company during 1969 only. Named after the Talladega Superspeedway racetrack in Alabama, it was a special racing version of the Ford Torino produced specifically to make Ford competitive in NASCAR racing, and was sold to the public only because homologation rules required a certain number of sales to the public. 754 cars were built, including prototypes; production examples were constructed during January and February 1969 at Ford's Atlanta, Georgia plant. The car was based on the Fairlane 500 "Sportsroof" (Ford's trade name for a fastback) 2-door hardtop. To make the car more aerodynamic at speed, a sleeker front section was added. Regular production Fairlanes and Torinos had a then-fashionable inset grille and headlights, which fared poorly in the wind tunnel. The Torino Talladega replaced this nose with one extended by six inches, with a flush-mounted grille on a more rounded front end. The close-fitting bumper was actually a rear bumper cut and reshaped to fit the front end. The rocker panels were reshaped and rolled to allow Ford to run the racing cars closer to the ground within NASCAR rules. The only option on the production vehicles was the color; choices were Wimbledon White (286 built), Royal Maroon (258 built) or Presidential Blue (199 built). Mine will be Wimbledon White with black hood.

I've just take it out of the bags.

I don't see it Harry?

I'm on.

This is perfect for the '85 datsun pickup I just finished.
