70 mercury cyclone

[michelle]

i got a project kit from thomascoffey1959 at one point he had planed to convert ar mpc 70 cyclone race car  body/hood/chrome parts to  a semi factory stock  70 cyclone using  a revell 70 torino gt  as a donor kit for the interior  engin bay and chassis when i got this project kit from him in a huge box full of lots of other kits he sent me i decided to finish what he had planed to do only  the interior pan chassis and engin bay parts from the revell 70 torino were both slightly to wide and long for the mpc 70 cyclone body so i  looked thought the box of chassis and box of interior pans i have for  suitable replcements i found themi do not know what the chassis was from  but the interior pan was  from a 69  cougar  i used the revell  70 torino front seats and center console and door handels  and dash though i had to cut the dash down a bit on either side  when i could not find a factory stock gunsight grille/front bumper  i moded the  race car one as best as i could to look like the factory stock gunsight grille i also added a 69 cougar hood scoop which since it was low profile  to make the hood look factory stock  i wish i could have got a engine in it but none of the late 60's early 70's ford engines i had would fit the chassis right and would not allow the hood to be down so i curbsided it i hate doing that  there is only a few times were i have no probelm curbsiding a car model and that is if it is one of those generic  hot wheels style cars i do cause it is kinda hard to make a ford/gm/chrysler engine look generic 
i painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss real orange
