afx Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Body: Original MPC Mercury Cyclone Chassis: Polar Light's Torino Edited May 3, 2014 by afx
bogger44 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Good lord, that is a beautiful build! Congrats! I don't believe I've seen Benny's ride built before. I have the Model King reissue of the Cyclone that I hope to build into David Pearson's car some day.
roadhawg Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, that IS nice! Did the body just drop down on there, or did you have to make it fit?
afx Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, that IS nice! Did the body just drop down on there, or did you have to make it fit? No, it took some work. But the Polar Lights' chassis and engine is WAY more accuracte than the MPC kit.

TooOld Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Mighty nice looking Cyclone , and that 429 looks awesome !
'70 Grande Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Beautiful build! Excellent paint and decal work, plus the chassis-swap and detailing added to that 429 make this an incredible build!
bbowser Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Very cool! Great to see more of the 60's-70's cars get some love. Back when the cars were still kinda stock and the "chrome horn" was real metal. Nice work.
Dragline Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Big Parsons fan here. That is doggone nice. Bob
spkgibson Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 that's one beautiful build....I like the 70-71 Cyclone in any form.
afx Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 Beautiful build! Excellent paint and decal work, plus the chassis-swap and detailing added to that 429 make this an incredible build! Thanks. The 429 just clears the shock towers. It is one BIG engine.
