1969 Torino Fastback - Almost finished (plus some commentary) - 04/20/17

So, I'm willing to say that it is about 99% done. I guess I jinxed myself and will be working on it the night before the show...

A whole lot of time and work has been put into what was supposed to be a quick and simple build (see first post). It has taken me about two years, on and off.

But, despite it's problems, and there are many, I think, if I was to build a second one, right now, knowing what I know about building this one, twice, I think I could turn this into a decent model.

Not one of the greatest ones out there, and definitely not one that a beginner would want to cut his teeth on, but, with some time, effort, and research into other's experience with it. I think it can be used as the basis for a decent model. Not by ME, of course!

Looking forward to starting something new on Monday...

By the way, just to clarify, the toothpick was only left in to let the glue dry, it's out now

Looks Killer, Igor,  fairlane1320, I am a big fan of the 68-69 Fairlane/Torinos too. I have a few built. I Drag Raced a 68 GT fastback, with a 427 4 speed for about 4 years. I retired it, when I built my tube chassis 65 Fastback Mustang. Here are a few of my AMT 69's
