    The Take-A-Turn Torino Project

    in Community Builds

    Posted

    Well guys, I holding out little hope we will see the Torino again.  I've tried through other social media to get in touch with the current holder of the car.  He is active in other places but will not acknowledge requests about the Torino.  Makes me sad that it was so close.  Let's hope he will at least send it to me to finish as I requested no questions asked.  ?

    Thanks guys! Mike I'm using testors wet look clear. 4 coats. Wet sanded after 2nd and 4th coats and one week cure. Then polished. I'm not sure on the traction bars as mopars generally didn't need them due to factory setups involving staggered leafs and pinion snubbers. I will check it out though as I have bars here

    Fred...looks like a great project underway here.  I vote for the S&M Keystones and the big'n'little Goodyear RWL's....this is exactly how a bucks-up new 'cuda owner would have set up his car in "day two" form in the early 1970's.....and from my point of view, nothing looks better than an early 1970's Mopar B or E body with mags on Goodyear RWL Polyglas GT tires (F's or G's on the front, G's or H's on the back) which is of course very close to what the Round 2 AMT Goodyyear RWL parts pack tires represent.   Cheers!  TIM 

    well guys, I got home today and had some time.  I foiled a bit more and thought about wheels some more.  I took Tims advice and mocked this up.  I kind of dig the look of the keystones with this colour combo.  Thoughts?

    Thanks.  The interior is all painted, just the wood grain to do.  I will post pics of the wheels I want to use.  I'm so torn as I like stock muscle cars but I remember the black cuda Cruz did with keystones.   It was awesome.  I just hate keystones and cragars so this will be a group call. Help me out guys!?

    Working on another project.  The duster is very close to done, the boss 9 is a pretty involved build so it very slow.  In the meantime I figured I would crush out another hemi cuda since it's such a fun kit.  My blue one was a low option car so this time I figured I would do an oddball the other way.  I picked an odd colour combo and am happy so far.  It will look pretty much like this real one.  Only thing I might change is add the keystones from the S&M kit on big and little polyglas parts pack tires.   Thoughts?

    its crazy how different light changes the paint.   To the eye it's pretty close to the 1:1   The camera lies lol
