1969 Ford Torino Cobra Fastback Car

I'll admit that I am a bit fussy and so my disappointment for this kit may not be warranted but the facts are the facts. The rear axle housing/springs/driveshaft is molded into the chassis/floor pan. The old screw bosses are present at the radiator support, and a very small radiator is molded into the body. Little engine room detail. Headlights are integral with the bunper/grille (no clear lenses.) You could build this as a stock-car with all the nice additions for that purpose but you'll need to go into your stash for major sponsor and big numeral decals. The interior tub appears a bit weak on detail and the decal sheet is devoid of guage faces. The bright side: nice little GOODYEARs printed on the stock tires and there's no hole in the oil pan (WHOO-HOO!) (though it's part of the block halves) They give you plastic pins to attach the front wheels instead of a metal axle. There are 3 styles of exhaust headders/manifolds and choice of intakes (1 or 2 quads). There will be some nice extra parts left over. I can be happy with this kit if I don't let the chassis bother me and with a few added details and some careful detail painting on the bottom.....it could be half-way decent. I will definitely be re-working the radiator support to remove the screw bosses and make it look more like it should.

Multiple building options including a NASCAR race car choice with full roll cage, racing seat, different dash, center console cover, and racing tires. Big 428 V8 with different intake and exhaust options. I like that the exhaust was not molded into the chassis. Fun build that went together nicely.

Nice Torino it turned out really nice nice detail highly recommend
