skymnky721 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thanks guys,,you guys rock also,,many great works on here. Lookin at it now,,I should have called it "MR-T" instead. I was going to do window trim,,but it looked cool without it. One drawback of the kit is,,if you look at underside pic,,you can see the rear axle just behind the diff,,had to drill axle holes further back to fit wheel well centers,,and I cut alot of material to open the rear wells + chassis by leaf springs also. Forgot to mention,,the carb intake stacks are Revell 1/12 scale motorcycle exsaust tips. And the entire outer perimeter of chassis went on a diet,, dremmeled 1/8th inch all the way around,,so I didnt have to fight the body when installed,,it just "dropped" in after that. So,,its a cool one for the shelf,,gotta do a diorama soon,,,HUmmmm,,,,? Thanks for the views + comments ,,,,Build on! S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogger44 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I dig it, looking pretty mean. Love the colors & striping, it all works well together. I've built one (stock) and have another lurking in the stash with no plans, maybe I'll go your route with it, it's inspiring me a bit. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Really sweet Torino. I love that particular model year of that car; the fastback really made them cool looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
