gks1964 Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 With a great deal of help from Tim and his vast knowledge of this Montego's. I'm trying create a 76 NASCAR body. I started with the Revell 1975 Torino. Here we go! This what we have so far. 1
Bill J Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Looks great so far Gerald. I have every confidence that you'll make a great Montego for us mere mortals Edited October 18, 2020 by Bill J

gks1964 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) A little progress started roughing in the nose. Edited October 23, 2020 by gks1964
Sledsel Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 It is looking great!!!! One of the issues this Torino has is the trim on top the door. It is too thick and raises the door and line making the openings to small, especially the 1/4 glass , Revell added the height of the entire piece to the top of the door and 1/4 glass whereas the trim is almost flat on top the door and rolls over the side. Even it out to open up the window the way it should be. Major kit flaw that drives me insane!!! i marked up one of your pics for reference.
gks1964 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Posted May 29, 2021 Updated! The hood just a mock up, it will have the pointed edge and notched header.
gks1964 Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 Bout ready to make the trip to Tim's body shop!
Bill J Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Don't forget me Gerald, I am in! The 76 Montego looks awesome. A must have for us Wood Brothers fans,

gks1964 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Posted April 19, 2022 Fits the stretched AMT TBird chassis very well. Disregard the rear wheel height.
Bob B 73 Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Hey Gerald- Would love to purchase a couple when they are available! Thanks! Bob B
bobss396 Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 I want one. My first real stock car was a '72 Torino with a 429 and later a 460. I ran it at one track, my partner at another. The 1st year he won a championship, I was 10th in points and 1st in a snowflake league. It was re-bodied with a '74 Montego body in 1983. Same roof line as the kit. 2
