My first wife had one before we got married. Fun little car, until the motor blew. One winter, I am not sure if she had it low on anti-freeze r oil, but it certainly gave up the ghost. It was her first car, and she was young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Nice, I like the old Jo-Han Funny Car kits and the fact that they are kits of real race cars from the time when they were done, the Pinto and Mustang were originally Mickey Thompson cars and the Challenger was a Gene Snow car. I'm just curious about the small size slicks on your two builds, they are a lot larger in my kits. Edited March 27, 2021 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Looks great Al👍 Looking at the long hood, the real stock Pinto would have looked better with the hood a bit longer, just my opinion🙄😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I was one that actually witnessed one getting rear ended that blew up. It was on an interstate service road late at night, but it happened just as I was passing by it on the interstate highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas did the same thing when rear ended...the old joke goes" how do you put 4wd under a Vega?" kick it in the rear bumper & it turns into a Blazer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
