dougwintz Posted June 9, 2021 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Nice detailing overall. The stance needs a little tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
