Well Mark, watched some of your old videos. I like to do this periodically, "cause ya know at our age" some of us tend to forget certain things? I'm very glad that I did. Cause once again Mark, I learned something new I can use towards my building process! Thanks as usual brother. Hope all is well? See ya in the next one buddy!

I'm always interested in these little body modifications. The techniques involved are useful tools to have. Thanks for sharing.🤓👍

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I bought this kit years ago, and when I saw the front end, I just put it back on the shelf to pirate parts. Fortunately iv still got the complete kit. Reckon I'm gonna build it after all!!!!! Thank you again!!!!!!!!

Just stumbled on to this today. Always like the late 60's early 70's Ford and Merc stock cars. Tried the heat method-managed to create a large contribution to the spares box. This look likes a great alternative. New subscriber--can't wait to see more.

@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 I don't have a good track record with plastic and heat so this was a good tip with methods I'm way more familiar with because of what I do for a living. Different medium but repairing warped things still involves precise cuts into them and glue (and splines/wedges). Watching the Holman - Moody Torino detail video you've put up, jotting down some notes and looking at local hobby shops where I can get the kits for the best total price.

Very nice.

Mine is curved rather severely downward so I will cut it at the center of the wheel well and bend upward using the hood to line it up and add plastic to the gap.

Thanks John Pol! I use 3M sandpaper. Depending on the filler, I use 320, 400 (mostly). 800, 1000 and 2000 to finish sand primers. Thanks again for watching!

I just picked up the Polar Lights Petty Talladega Torino today, so this video was great timing. I am terrible when it comes to using filler/body putty and getting good results- do you have another video where you explain your technique in detail? When I go to build this kit, I want to end up with results similar to yours. Thanks!

Thank you my friend!! I have done this several times and have never had any issues. The first one I did over 20 years ago.

This is great!! I have had Petty's Torino for some years and have not built it yet because I wasn't sure about heating the body. Now I will have to get working on that kit!! Did you scribe the body lines around the doors and trunk? Looks a bit deeper than I thought, or it just could be the lighting. Anyway, thank you for the tutorial!!

Hey Mark. Great tip on the finders, like you the hot water or heat gun seems difficult to not melt the model. May I ask what kind of razor saw that you used? 55 teeth, or lower.

Mark, the saw I used in this video is an X-Acto brand 40 tooth per inch (medium cut, I think). They come in a two pack. It's the smaller/ shorter of the two.
