I don't do exact replicas; that said, I couldn't find enough reference pics, especially from above, to really do justice to this build. I had to take a shot at what it might look like. The sides at least, are more accurate though simplified, enabling me to make a passable look-a-like. I took a stock Torino, Cobra version, for the body; modified interior tin work, and chassis (I had to stretch it) from the GTO Judge F/C. Engine, headers, tires, and wheels from the parts box. Paint is Tamiya Racing Blue and Model Master's Diamond Dust. Decals from SOMEBODY (I can't remember the maker, now).
Because this is a real kitbash and not a kit, I had to glue the interior tin to the body, and the chassis to that, so that unfortunately, there are no pics of the chassis and engine. I should have thought to take some in progress pics, darn it. All you can see of the engine is what you see inside the car, bummer.
