Thank you so much everyone! the comments were nice to read!!!

yes alot of work went into this, like the 1/4 windows with the rubber seal painted on, went all out on it.

to answer a question or two

1: Yes this is a motor city resin

2: yes the johan parts fit it very well!!! like they was meant too...........

The engine is out of the 1979 Ford bronco 351m400 and that is what i was looking for........ infact i just sent it ou tto be casted as i have a few project i need it for..........

That's a really sharp looking Torino Michael! Being a coupe makes it a little more special. You mentioned that you used the chassis from the JoHan stock car kit. Is it a detailed chassis or is everything molded in? I have a '72 promo that I would like to put a detailed chassis under.

Roger,

the stockcar chassis is alittle nicer altho not stock with some effort tho it wont be to bad, i used the stock car trailing arms and the rear end from a 1966 Fairlane kit AMT.......have to do some trimming on the cross member... will post acouple more pics after bit............

Nice looking car. You did a superb job on it. Was this the same model as Starsky's, or was his more like a 76? I'd love to build one like that.

His was a 1975/6 torino elite another awesome car, i started to do years ago but body was warped pretty bad and gave up on it, wished i still had it bet i could have fixed it now :(

Elite...the Elite was basically a Cougar body w/ single headlights and different grille.
