Me too. There are different tricks involved with getting it fixed up. Also something I noticed with the NASCAR version's body fit at the back that needs addressing in the stock Cobra kit....since I'm not about to break apart the Torino.
Trevor, Thank You Good Sir for this In Depth dive into this kit. I've Always loved this car, but Avoided the Pitfalls of kit. Until Now. Think I might tackle this kit after your Video Series, So Thank You, Great Stuff, Nice Builds
Glad to help. Make sure you go back and watch all the previous videos and take a LOT of notes. This kit has over 50 faults. I still have to finish the factory stock version, but at least I am almost there.
That would be cool! - Sadly, I had to close it 3 years ago. Now all I have is my online web store - www.monster-hobbies.ca I can ship around the world.
It does! Glad I finally got this car done. Now, this build is entirely out of the box, with the exception of the plastruct wheel blocks. Even at that, you can see from all these videos just how much work is involved with correcting the kit faults. - I just hope I got everything for the "NASCAR" version. Next up is the completion of the factory stock version.
You are going for the extra detail and the full on customizing whereas I made my videos to help people solve the out of the box issues. I do like what you are doing though. One thing I missed on the Torino is that you need to make a stopping point at the inside back of the car because the rear of the chassis pan wants to sink into the body cavity at the back. Originally, there were tubes back there for screwing the back end to the body. Some form of post has to go back there again to prevent the issue. - i'll address it when I finish the factory stock Cobra.
@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage yes. I want to build all my model cars to a highly detailed level. I've been making trunk hinges this evening,have you noticed how big they are🤓great big iron brackets😲
Did you do a how to decal video? I would like to know what you use and how you decal. I mostly have bad luck. Decal almost instantly lock in place. Of course your Torino is perfect.
Thank you. Part 7 of this series is all about decal application, except for the numbers. To stop your decals from locking into place, they need a little water underneath them so they can float into position. Once they are located where you want them, then use a little toilet paper to absorb the bulk of the water before pressing the toilet paper down on the decal to lock it in place. IDK, maybe you can see concept this better in part 7.
WOW that is one awesome looking Ford Gran Torino racer Trevor! I am absolutely impressed with the work and detail! Amazing!!
Thanks a ton! Hope you have been following the entire build. - There will be another video where I finish the factory stock version.
@@MonsterHobbiesModelCarGarage Looking forward to seeing the stock version!

Nice!
When is the next video coming out? Love It!!
Thank you. I'm not sure. We hit winter time out here in Alberta, so painting might be an issue.
Oh - thankyou - guess dummy me should have watched all of #7 for decaling info.
It's ok. This has been a long series of building for 1 model. Even I forget where things are in the videos.
