Jeepxj Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 So I bought this,I believe,77 Pinto wagon from another good guy on this website.I'm going to try and build into into a Super Gas car.I'll try my best,and see what happens. Thanks
tubbs Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 hey Brian, that body is awesome! who makes that kit? never knew one of those existed. will be a very cool build.
Tom Geiger Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Cool. I'm watching. I've always liked that kit because my bro-in-law had a yellow Pinto wagon. When he was done with it, he asked me to sell it for him and I drove it to work with For Sale signs on it most of that summer. It was a fun little car to drive with a 4 speed. I was sorry to let it go when someone bought it!
Craig Irwin Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Cool idea! But I see a red stocker full of Illinois Nazis! LOL
slusher Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Cool build idea, look forward to your progress..
Jeepxj Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 At first,I was originally going to build a Vega wagon Super gas car.
Jeepxj Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 Trying to scratch build a set of tubbs,and a cage.Found a cool set of wheelie bars.As I said,this whole thing might fall on it's face.Got outta building models for awhile.
Harry Joy Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Nice start. Following this build with anticipation, waiting for it to really catch fire!
geemoney Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 the bob glidden car is available again (t bird)it has what you need!
Jeepxj Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 Yea,I don't know what is going on with me lately.As I get older,I'm liking some weird stuff..I mean car wise.I go to shows all the time here on LI,NY.Cruise nights,etc.I love the muscle cars,& just fast cars.But know I'm liking Pintos,and Vegas,Pacers,Gremlins.Vega Kambacks(spelling)..I was evenchecking out an 81 Chevy Citation last week at a show.U know showroom condition,like 20 miles on it.However the main reason reason Iam trying to build this,was because I had a friend,whose,brother ran a 77 Pinto Wagon,Super Gas car,way back many moons ago..The car could never hook up right.There was nothing in the back of the car.The car was completely gutted.Anyway,I guess I gotta little thing for small cars now.I was going to try and build just a regular Pinto,a Bob Glidden car,but I found this wagon from,again,a real nice fellow modeler on here.More pix to come,hopefully.
Jeepxj Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Just an FYI,I stopped working on this Pinto Wagon drag car,I was putting this model together,slowly..Then My mother passed away,and I lost all interest in building.But,I never finished the car,and know it's a crushed,and dusty model,broken and in the garbage..Ha..It would've been a cool car,I think.I guess,I'm going to find one,just like the 1:1.
Codi Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Who'd a thunk it possible but you actually made a Pinto wagon cool Brian. Can't wait to see how it comes along. cheers, tim
Rider Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Sorry to hear about the lose of your mom. Too bad about the crushed kit. Good luck in your search for another, I am sure your mom would want you to finish this project.
