Today I’m starting a series on the program called “Saving This Junk Kit”
Basically I’m going to be building kits from junkers and bag kits missing parts, broken pieces, etc.
So come along and join me while we save vintage styrene!!

I bought two of them Jo-Han torino kits, built one in deep metallic green….left the second one I left in the box….It went together well and I was super happy with it. With the stripes and the two tone rims?…MAN that turned out GREAT!!!!! BTW… have you ever seen the 77 olds cutlass model by Jo-Han, same kind of box, i got two from the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago ages ago!!
Love the torino Loui. I love junk kits so much. it's what I base my channel on😊 I'll be looking forward to more. Always great to see these vintage models saved.
My very first car at age 16 was a 72 Torino, with that same hood and we put a 429 big block in it. Way too much car for a 16 year old kid, but man was it fun! 😎
Cool idea for a series. You and I have very similar tastes. Great save of a cool kit. I have one of these with a broken A pillar. I hope I can save it like you did. Awesome work.
I would have an overwhelming desire to paint it red and put a white stripe along both sides and over the top of the rear part of the roof, for some reason..
Turned out great, love the green, it is perfect. Looks like one I looked at at a used car dealer back in 1980-81, That one had a 351 CJ and a white interior, but the same green color. Thanks!
Louie it sure looked like You had a great time rebuilding that kit! The end result looks Fantastic too! I like Your new video series looks like a real winner! Thank You for sharing! Take Care, Be Safe, God Bless, Later

Can't beleive years ago could go and shop for a model car and pick out paint from a rack, all gone.
