Brian_B Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Nice build. I had a 72 Grand Torino GT and my cousin had the Ranchero GT (same year). Both had the 351 cleveland.
B.DougBeck Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I love it, I have been thinking about this kit. You did a great job!
TooOld Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 I love it, I have been thinking about this kit. You did a great job! It's definetly worth the price ! I have a couple of resin bodies from other manufacturers and never attempted building them because of the extra work involved . I guess you really do get what you pay for ! And thanks again to everyone for your comments ! BOB.
CorvairJim Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I'm not even a Ford fan and I like this one. I might even be tempted into looking into building my own. Car-trucks like the Ranchero/El Camino/Aussie "Utes" have always appealed to me.
Volvoman Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I really like your Ranchero, we could do with a few companies here in the uk to do some stuff like this. I would certainly get hold of some. Thanks for sharing.
340-6 Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Wow! That's one awesome Ranchero. Its a shame there aren't more models of these cool pickups out there.
Austin T Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Great job on this one,hopefully a company like revell or AMT will make a new tool for this in full detail so it doesn't cost triple digits to build one.
TooOld Posted September 2, 2012 Author Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks Jim , Mark , Pauli , and Austin . Austin , Actually the kit costs $55 and I paid less than $5 for the yellow paint . Everything else was just normal supplies I already had , and the engine was in my parts box . I've spent more than that building a styrene kit before ! The best part is the Ranchero body looked as nice as a styrene body , not like a lot of resin bodies available for a lower price that require tons of work before you can even spray some primer !
JasonFL Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Beautiful ranchero Bob. The front ends on those old rancheros are so mean looking. A lot of nice detail, great build
TooOld Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 Thank you Carl , Gary , Jason , and Johan . I've always loved the front end of this year Torino . This resin piece was really easy to sand and open the grille up instead of using a wash .
TooOld Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 I forgot to mention that the Ford Blue on the engine is actually Rustoleum Sail Blue # 7724 . I've used it on a few 1:1 engines and it is a perfect match . It's costs a lot less too !
