Ford Torino Talladega.

[Colin Russell]

Evening gents.

Thought I would show a Torino I am nearing completion with,it is pretty standard apart from a 4 link rear end and wheels off a Ferrari Enzo!

The colour is Tamiya candy lime green and it's cleared with P.U. clear,here are a few teaser pics and I will sort more out tomorrow.

Under hood detail is great, smooth paint, and chrome trim looks lazer cut. Outstanding build so far Colin.

Thanks gents for the kind comments.

As promised here are a few more pics,to fit the Enzo wheels I needed to cut the inner fenders away and raise them about four mm.Even then it was tight,but I got there..

Leaf springs with a 428...No way,I could get axle tramp in a 2 litre Cortina so they had to go!

So I made a 4 link setup and converted a set of Tamiya discs to fit the sleeved axle (it was a two part axle and was on the fragile side.)

How the rear looked before paint.

To fit the Revell Germany wheels to the Revell USA stub axles I drilled the wheels out a tad and sleeved them with Evergreen tubing.

The chassis was done satin black and I tried a bit of 'over spray' of the candy green..

As I say the wheels were done satin black and I decanted a bit from the Tamiya rattle can and brush painted the rims and spokes,the wheels were then cleared with Halfords (an auto store chain here) clear.

More soon.

nice work!

the rear diff & 4 link looks really good, and the green trim on the wheels is just right!

cheers
