Trainwreck Posted Friday at 10:40 PM Posted Friday at 10:40 PM Kept the factory clear coat, added a little detail to the chassis, bare metal foil, '68 dart exhaust and big and littles from the parts box. 11

If you enjoyed the project, that's the important thing. I've gotten carried away and turned "fun" into "work" at times. Nice work adding the dart exhaust, looks good under there. I've never done any "promo" rebuilds, I almost never find any that interest me. 1

I have a '72 Torino promo that's almost ready to show, maybe that will spark an interest. Most are just shelf kits so not a lot of effort but they look a lot better if you add a little pizazz.

I didn’t realize they still used the screw on promos into the late 70’s. nice job on the rebuild, always had a soft spot for these cars. 1
espo Posted Saturday at 05:17 PM Posted Saturday at 05:17 PM Amazing what a difference some good detailing can make in the appearance of a Promo. 1

I use it as a slump buster sometimes if nothing else seems to motivate me to build, they're super simple and look a little better on the shelf. 1
