|
|
Late in the '75 season, Bud got a jump on racing the notchback Torino, mandatory the following season. This car would win the final two events of the season, at Atlanta and Ontario.
Revell S&H body (the red plastic required more layers of silver paint and primer than I can remember, or care to). I trimmed down a Monogram chassis and cage to fit. Monogram rims and tires. Decals are mostly my inkjet-printed designs.

Oh Yeah, she looks like she wants to pick a fight with the rest of them.
Another beautiful build from your bench.

Awesome build. I've been mulling over getting that kit and attempting this. No 70's Ford kits stinks. |

Thanks. I'd recommend finding a white version if you can. The red StarskyHutch plastic was a major chore to seal. _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

Excellent job , Bill. I know what you mean about the S&H red body. They should outlaw the use of colored body's on model kits. |

Bud and Buddy were a force to recon with.
Bud was ahead of the game on getting sponsors. you have to do your research for which sponsor would be on the car.
Incredible build!!!! |

Yes I believe so. Probably explains why I got this one at a good price... _________________ Bill Jobson is my real name. |

The original issue of the S&H kit is molded in red. I have one. |

All S&H Torinos were in red plastic.
The stock Torino kit, fighter palne on box, was in white plastic. |

Tamiya's gray rattle can primer works well to cover those bright colored plastics. Big fan of their products. |

Tamiya silver is what I used to cover the red plastic on my build.
