Starsky & Hutch done in 24

It looks good together. I can see where the tuck-under in the lower part of the body is a tad shallow, but the overall impression is very good. Just need to figure out how to get a stock ride height and find some Magnums.

Al, as always, great work. Hope to see this at LIARS.

Stock ride height is pretty easy. The front and rear suspension mounts to the chassis with big round hollow posts. Trim the post a little at a time until ride looks right.  Glue posts to chassis over pins in chassis.

Thanks everyone. I had a lot of fun building this one. I can't wait for my 2nd one to arrive.

Looks great, is the paint even dry?  I remember having the corgi car back when the show was on.  Will have to get a couple for sure.

These Torinos were all over the place in '73-'74, in one configuration or another.

You couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one, so someone must have liked them.

Even my small hometown police department had a light blue '73 4 door for one of their cruisers.

 I may have told this story before.... growing up, my family lived across the street from a small office building.  I believe everyone there was a salesman of sorts since they all had company cars.  Every car in the lot was one of those big bumper Torinos... 4 door sedans in all different colors. It looked like a Quinn Martin Production.

So what you're saying is, it didn't look like the movie "Tin Men".

Rows of shiny new Cadillacs!

Must not have been very "successful" salesmen.

Great job! I'm considering building mine soon. What did you tint the windows with?

Thanks again everyone. JT, My windows are done with 4 very light coats of Tamiya clear blue. It's easy to over tint, so I always have a piece of white paper to check the tint. It takes me 10 seconds to get the right tint.

Hope this helps.

That's easy.

Any suggestions for wheels and a decent set of whitewalls? I'm thinking the Firestone Supremes AMT has might be a bit old, possibly the re-pop MPC Goodyear whitewalls the Modelhaus has?
