This one is a salvaged original Jo-Han kit that I bought from John Goshke in May, 2020. Thanks for always being with me on my projects. Gary

I've been building models in eight (!) decades. Does that make me experienced or just old? I'm old! Well, I do have SOME experience!

Got me at a loss for words for once, that don't come often either! The color, the subtle stuff, the chrome reverse wheels all add up to one pretty "little" Mopar, Great Job!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
