Great set of pics.
Intrigued as to why they stenciled Firestone lettering over Good Year tires...

Great set of pics. They've been around for at least 2-3 years now. To replicate that textured metal on the floorboards and inner door panels, I've been collecting the circular lid liner foil from Kraft peanut butter for a while. Not eating it fast enough since the kids moved out. Only hangup is getting correct decals.

Word up: That car is a replica ...and NOT necessarily accurate in some details. The cow catcher thing under the front cross member is...who knows what? The rear end cooler and ducting is all wrong too. So too the tube seat bolster to the right of the seat. Other tings too. But you get the idea.

yes i see what you mean about the rear ducting. also the front suspension looks more modern to me. loke maybe a banjo front clip. and the exhaust collectors don't look right to me anyway.

Was the heat shield on the floor a pretty standard H/M Torino deal?
