Hey thanks! I won't lie this model has gotten unexpected attention in the last 24 hours, I just wanted to make an underrated muscle car and this is it. Don't get me wrong, I love Chargers, and Mustangs but I'm sure someone else is already working on those.
yeah every one loves the mustang or camaro so its nice for a change, hey are you going to make the engines correct to what would have been sold in 1972 ?
For the most part, yes, but I don't plan to do every single variant simply because I have other cars I want to make which I'm considering making in tandem to this project. I have a fully Modelled Crown Vic screaming my name right now and a couple other cars I'm planning. My end goal is to make a good selection of cars to make a beam ng movie, that's my end goal. It sounds ambitious but this is what I do when I'm not sleeping.
yeah absolutely, I'll also add some trim options and decals as well as a couple custom and movie cars.
different hubcaps, 4 door sedan/hardtop, 2 door sedan/hardtop, sports roof/formal roof ? dont forget that all Torino's used 14 inch wheels, 15 incher wheels used only form taxi/police models
For now I only plan to do the sport roof Gran Torino body, and anything that comes with that. As for police cars/sedans I have other things planned for that such as a Mercury Montego, Dodge Monaco, and Plymouth Fury. That isn't to say I'll never make other body styles for this car, after all, this is my first car mod.
Fury, you said Fury, The Plymouth Fury, your going to do that, really ? what year, woah a Fury, me likes the Fury, forget this rustbucket me needs Fury but seriously your actually planning to do a Fury, what year are you doing?
1977, the same type of Furys you see in every 80's cop chase movie ever, fitting for the type of movies I am going to make.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, time to learn what 20mph over the limit looks like with out a camera can i ask for the Torino are you going make your own custom jbeam or are you going to modify an existing one to fit ?
I really don't know, I figured I'd cross that bridge when I get there. Right now I'm just doing what I know best, modeling. After it's all made, there's a lot of obstacles to jump through which makes the modeling look easy.
yeah, but there are plenty of people out there who would be willing to help, but as you say worry about it when the time comes
If I could get help that would be great! I just didn't know where to ask but if anyone's willing to volunteer be my guest.
Slow Progress is better than no progress! Managed to add in some more chrome, so much chrome and it's not even done. The grille surround on the front fascia and the headlight bezels. I also redid the front bumper it looked too choppy for my liking so I made sure that was straight. Next is the .... grille, wish me luck.
oh lovely, though i think the bezels could be a slightly set into the body more, just a tad. And good luck on that good ol' egg crate !
Ended up rearranging a lot of the front end anyways, but that grille looks really good and adds a lot to the car. Now on the the hood scoop and other bits. --- Post updated --- Hood scoop and fender trim is done! I even put the little grille inside the hood scoop.
