dougwintz Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Hi. This is MPC's version of Bobby Issac's Ford Torino. Very tough to get the track and the stance where I wanted it. I must have trimmed, cut 5 times until I couldn't anymore. So, it sits higher than I wanted. Easy kit if you just count the number of parts. Tough kit if you are interested in a proper fit. I took a couple of pick before decals and after Edited June 10, 2021 by dougwintz 2
Bills72sj Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Nice detailing overall. The stance needs a little tweaking.

I can also walk you through the mods if you’re interested.

spkgibsonfirebird Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 Great looking build. What blue did you use for the hood?
cifenet Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Nice work, I am sure these old MPC kits aren’t easy to get things look good. You did an excellent job!

It's actually a decal from Mike's Decals https://www.mikesdecals.com/sta-power-bobby-isaac-torino-powerslide-048-p-113.html
