mangodart Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Hi guys, back in the forum, I quite busy because I'm restoring a real car, so it is hard for me right now to finish a kit. Anyway I decide to show you an old friend, which is one of my favorite built kit, I think I never post it here. It starts as a Model King Nascar model, mixed with a Revell Torino and some Modelhaus stuff for the front grill and hood., vinyl top is home made, color is ( believe it or not ) from Citroen, and is very close to the green use in those years. Hope you'll like it
bbowser Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Wow, excellent conversion! Great color, really nice work.
bogger44 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Killer build, great execution in bringing it back to stock. I'm jealous lol. Edited August 26, 2015 by bogger44
Sledsel Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Very very cool. Love Cyclones and also green on an old muscle car.Revell needs to make a new body (correctly please) few other minor parts, and use the Torino parts to have an all new kit.Seems like a winner to me.
Sport Suburban Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Very nicely done! I have one of these MPC Cyclones kit bashed also with the Revell Torino. It has stalled because I just could not decide on a color. The green with the vinyl top is really cool.
tubbs Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 really nice looking build. I have been doing the same conversion but need to get the modelhaus stuff. all you was the hood and the grille, any bumpers, taillights? thanks.. I think I need to get them pretty quickly before he shuts down.
disabled modeler Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Very nice......my dad use to own one when I was a kid loved that car..! I have his old model of it but its in a bad way needs parts it was the kit with the factory stock option...shame they don't re-issue it for us....
crazyjim Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Sweet and SHINY . Are those Chevy rally wheels?

I think I need to get them pretty quickly before he shuts down. Thanks for the nice comments, The only stuff I bought from Modelhaus was the front bumper and grill ( it's in one piece ) and the front hood. All the rest was included in the Nascar kit, also the factory wheels !!
mangodart Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 Sweet and SHINY . Are those Chevy rally wheels? No that is the stock Mercury wheels http://www.voorend.nl/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cyclone-kl.3-630x472.jpg
Pete J. Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Wow! This brings back memories. A fraternity brother of mine's dad was the Lincoln, Ford Mercury dealer in Laramie. One year he showed up with one of these is red-orange. Bad to the bone, muscle car for the end of the era!
