Basically out of the box aside from lowering and Mean Machine wheels and tires.I sprayed a 50/50 mix of gold and white pearl over the stripe decals to mimic the reflective look of the real stripes. The photo etched taillight trim was a real PITA.

Excellent build, the new release of the Torino is on my hit list for DAAM.

What is the tire source? They look interesting - an actual, in-scale T/A. The MPC T/As are poo; these look quite nice.

Beautiful paint color and finish. These were one of Fords better looking body styles. Like the stance and the wheels & tires used.

As I said on the original post Wheels are by Mean Machine Models. He had wheels in different widths and tire in lot of common actual sizes. This car has 15x7 and 15x8 wheels 235/60/15 front tires and 275/60/15 rear tires. Bigger rears would require chassis clearancing/butchery. the quality of these wheels and tires is excellent. Price is fair too.
