gks1964 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Which kit has the best body to build the David Pearson '69 Torino? Thanks, Gerald
Bill J Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 The Polar Lights 69 Torino Talladega is the closest. The kit has some faults and is a not perfect but can build a decent replica.
Force Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Monogram also did a 69 Torino Talladega also issued under the Revell name, but it's 1:24th scale and a street car.
mikemopar70 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Really Nice! those PPP wheels and tires make all the difference! Nice work!
Dave Van Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) For a 69 Torino there is one choice....the AMT old annual.(reissued a few times since 1990's) For the Torino Talledega there are 3....AMT, PL and 1/24 Monogram. Only the PL kit is full race. Here is my Petty AMT box stock build of the 69 Torino Talledega. Edited April 22, 2020 by Dave Van
gks1964 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 Took some pix of the FORDCO parts I made for the Polar Lights kits 429 engine. Dry sump oil pan and oil tank. What do you guy's think before I cast them? Thanks, Gerald

DoctorLarry Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 They look killer. Use them with braided line and fittings and they would look totally realistic.

Bill J Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Gerald, all of your items are super nice. Cast lots of Boss 429 pans and Ford oil tanks. Keep up the great work
