I very nice review and build of this kit. The model club that I belong to is doing a group build of this kit. One is box stock and the other is pretty much do what you want. For the do what you want version. I am thinking about converting this kit to a utility vehicle and I will call it a El Gran Torino. Can you offer any suggestions on how I would do this?

GYMO, an ambitious project for sure. I guess I'd start with a MPC '86 El Camino kit and cut the roof line short on the Ford to graft the bed into the back end! Just cut and fit and add putty! -Doug

Thanks RV, Don't be afraid to try painting. You'll only get better if you practice. Use some old junkyard bodies to paint first for practice! -Doug

Doug, great build, but the license plate. The Michigan '76 plates were awesome, those are classic plates! Seriously, though, nice review and build. Enjoy your work.

I wonder if there's any resin conversions to clone it to a 74 to 76 cougar I know there's resin Montego for those years

I'm currently building this kit and I think my kit came with an extra intake manifold. The part number is 12 which isn't even on the part list. Was this part intended for this build or was this an extra part from the starsky and hutch version?. I'm reborn into the hobby and am in love with your channel, mahalo and aloha from Oahu,Hawaii 🤙

YG, That kit does come with a "spare" manifold that can be put in the parts bin or discarded. Thanks! -Doug
@2:40...The air filter is not installed at this point. It's near the end of the build

Should have painted it white with a red stripe. Then it could be a Starsky and Hutch evil twin. Kinda like Kitt and Karr.

Well there were two Striped Tomato's on the original pilot episode so technically you could have two on the shelf
Wish they would fix the front header panel letters, side window openings and bumpers. No way to fix the bumpers without needing to replating them. This kit is not bad, but it sure needs a bunch of little fixes to make it right

B, Oh yeah. I remember now. That was 5 years ago. That's a "sand" paint meant to represent undercoating. It's on some of the other parts as well. Thanks for sharing and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
I didn't see any reason to mess around removing the copyright script as the rear axle covers it and you'll never see it

Looks better if you darken the grille, (like a real car...). This is a really bland car, I'd. Put a couple of them in a HERTZ rent-a-car office as a diorama.
