I got the original kit when it came out, but always felt I could have done better on it. I decided I wanted to get a friend a model as a gift. He had an old 71 Torino and I thought this would be the closest thing to his 71 I would find. I got a new kit for myself and decided to give him my old kit. This new build came out a lot better than my previous build, even though there are still some things I did that I don't like. I also had some fit issues with the tub and chassis that I didnt have the first time around.

I don't even have one in my stash, but I should. Great color and love the Cleveland under the hood Eric.

They really are cool, and I'm not much of a Ford guy. It's probably their best car from that era. I'd recommend grabbing a kit soon. They are starting to get pretty pricey. I was lucky I found this one at a reasonable price.

Never did. Now I wish I would have. You did a great job on the build!
