Fat Brian Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 The MPC Mustang IIs from the mid seventies have a decent chassis that can donate parts to a Pinto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If you're after a better Pinto, get an MPC kit. They're much better detailed top to bottom. You could use the '77 parts you need on the MPC kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatheadgary Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 thanks for the replies. i will tell you what i am building. this is a 1-1 scale build. it's a 1923 c- cab flatbed truck. it will have 1927 front fenders and hand made hood with a t grille. i am putting a pinto motor, rear end and front suspension in it. i am also using shay wire wheels. to build the model, i will be using one of the c-cab model trucks for the body and a hand made frame. that is why i am looking for a more detailed front end. wish me luck.

Can-Con Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 How close is the Pinto suspension to the Mustang II ? The Revell Beatnik Bandit II has a detailed Mustang setup, if you can use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plowboy Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 You should check out the front suspension from the AMT Phantom Vickie. It has a nice independent suspension with a rear mounted rack like the Pinto and Mustang II. Here's a photo of one that I'm working on currently. You can even make it poseable.

flatheadgary Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 ployboy, that is a nice setup, but i will be using a stock setup. the beatnik bandit looks closer. the mustang ii is the same as the pinto or mercury bobcat. thanks again.
