amt/ertl 1969 Ford Torino Cobra roof and correcting the wheelbase. Cobble Street diorama base 

Your cobblestone looks nice Pete, shame kit manufacturers don't correct these known issues, and sad news on Parnelli Jones, 🙏

Thanks Tom. It took hours,over several days,to cobble the street. I had to do it a bit at a time,so it didn't get too wet at each stage. Then several days on the painting and adding further materials as dirt/mud to the surface👍😀. I'm rather disappointed with the new model at 39.99 and no corrections. 😕I've found,a few minutes ago,that the glass 'fitting' is a joke. I had to check I hadn't mixed clear parts up with another kit,the rear screen is much too big. So more things to correct as the project developes😕😉👍😎

"Ello Pete! Glad to see Your still kickin' around the the plastic kits! Say as look as You make a video I will be here looking to watch it! Life, One must do what one must, Right? Yeah, I hear You with the kits too. But I guess it is better for them to run what they have then make corrections to the molds, Right? Make money on an old mold or spend money on a new tooling?? Corporate Greed. Executives don't think like Hobbyists? Yes? I like the mustang scoops, off the GT for on the Torino, that will be sharp! Those side body molded ones. Very clever idea with the storage box! Split peas?? Who would have thought!!?? Hey, Very glad to see You again, Looking forward to another! Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless, Later

Looking good Pete and thank you for the tip on fixing the issue with the rear wheels. The mold for this kit came out in 1968 and is reflective of the tooling practices of that time. The Monogram Torino has more of the details you would want in these cars like separate rear axle and springs and proper front suspension, but the Monogram kit is a factory stock build only. Why must us model car customers always have to compromise? It's a shame that Round 2 didn't update the chassis/suspension and interior parts to give us a multi-piece kit while still retaining all the original 1968 era custom and dragster options.

Split peas, that is a smart idea. Looking good.

The cobblestones have come out well. Cheers Bob 👍

Great idea for the base Pete, looking forward to seeing your Woody on Safari build.

Very cool cobblestone base, good idea.

Great video👍 storage box idea really cool

Pete it's been a while since I seen you brother and we lost a legend for sure ❤😊

good job on the tornio cobra that is a nice muscle car

Good idea with the cobble stone Pete and you would think for the price of some of those kits they would make a better effort 👍👍

The base is cool. Pete they did not fix the issues
