This started out as the AMT Ford Torino Cobra. I tried out some things I had never done with this build, so I am kinda proud of it. I used styrene rod to make the rollcage and styrene sheet to make the floor, panels, etc. I had never done any scratchbuilding to speak of before, so this was all new to me. I also learned resin casting so I could duplicate some parts needed (such as the wheels and tires) and make new parts that were never included (such as the rear end cooler). This model definitely got me out of my comfort zone, but I am happy with how it turned out. One thing I did mess up on - I didn't measure where the gas cap would have been in relation to the EAST TENN - as a result, I had to move the decal down just a bit on the passenger side. Consider it "creative license". So, here's the completed Torino - I hope you enjoy it.
