TORANA progress..Aussie Muscle

Hi everyone,
Finally getting somewhere with this,other proj's on hold so I get this done for comp in 2 weeks.
Origonally a curbside kit,I've built all under bonnet from old kits and scratch.Started with 69 Camaro chassis,heaverly modified,motor is modified Mopar, made to resemble our local GMH "308" C.I.motor.Wheels and tyres are a mix.

Hope you like :)

Un-dirty word-believable! I love those classic Aussie musclecars. (Monaros in particular, but that's a whole different tale)

This thing is incredible!

i can only say 1 thing dude, WOWwowowowowowowowowowow, love the engine bay, how much of that was scratch built, and what paint is that???:devil:

Looks great.Who makes that kit?

That is very nice, sooooo much engine detail

Astounding stuff Stump!

What kit is the body from? Is it resin or off a diecast? What scale?
Love the engine bay, the bright green paintwork is a matter of taste!

LOOKING GOOD! May I make one suggestion? you might want to paint the screws on the fender flares. JMHO

Well about time one of us aussie's built one i'm half way through a monaro pro street but it put aside while i have a rest
looks great love to see it at grafton in two weeks:frog:

:eek: :eek: ...if that was a women, i'd want to have sex with it ;)

Can you tell us some more info about the kit etc as i've been trying to track one done here in NZ.
All ive seen here is the Holden HK model which is very expensive to buy just for a body shell.

That's looking real good. Love the engine work!

Ultimate cool!!!:cool: :cool: :cool:

Amazing work on engine! :eek:

Fantastic looking model Greg!

Hey, thanks guys, this has been a real labour of love(I've owned 4 of these and a hatch in my 1:1)
Been working on this re-build nearly 12 months,
Chrismcgee,most engine bay acc. are from parts box,brake booster,coil,water bottle for w/screen washers,clutch res.,wiper moter,charcoal(pollution control)cannister-front RHS is scrathed.
Motor had lots of mods to get it close,reshaped and bogged heads/rocker covers,heaps of filing/filling to my satisfaction...whew !
The front chassis consists of old inner guards(parts box)plenty of styrene and bogg(filler)
MidnightRacer,RallyRaider, the kit is made by Cavallier(Aus comp.)as a curbside,flat chassis,no detail,it's 1/25 scale but the original wheel/tyre combo looked like 1/28 ?
Pman,yeah I have the Monaro as well,waiting to do,but shit they're expensive here as well,I've paid $75AUS each,just for body basicly,
craazzzy hey....
I fitted the glass(cut from old kits)last night,will get some more pics up shortly......

cheers stump

UnFuknBelivable! Damn Toranas are awesome! I would love a mock SLR5000 LX for my first car. You've owned 5 of these? Why, why did you sell them?!!!

You making a droptank for this?

I'd like to see revell make some of the great aussie muscle cars of the early seventies. this one looks great though, very detailed. a lot of work in all that fabricating! you have my respect, stump.

Hey Lowryda, drop tank fitted today,been waiting to dry :)
