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
