Tom99 Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 This 1977 Pinto came to me in a trade. It's not the best kit to build, but it's a model I don't have in my collection. It gives you new respect for what is being produced in kit form today. I painted it with Scalefinishes, 1977 Ford Dark Yellow Green.. 3
stavanzer Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Nice Build of a kit that leaves a whole lot to be desired. The colour looks very correct for a '77 model car.
styromaniac Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Dang....thats my first car!...Dad got a 2 for 1 deal off the lot in Newport News Va back in 76-77 and my brother's was silver and mine dark green. Had a traveling job right out of school and I drove the wheels off that thing. They werent a refined ride but that little 2.3 litre motor was peppy. Later on I worked with a stone mason who reworked those Pinto motors into racing boats.
TarheelRick Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 That is one very nice looking Pinto, reminds me of a lot of driveways back in the 70's. Only change I would make is a tube chassis, BBF with 2X4, monster slicks out back; other than that it looks great just the way it is.
MichaelRZ Posted June 29, 2024 Posted June 29, 2024 Aside from the from the raised letter tires and American Racing wheels, this is a replica of my first car. Built it from a kit and made it mine. 1
MichaelRZ Posted July 7, 2024 Posted July 7, 2024 Correction: Aside from the model NOT having raised letter tires and American Racing wheels, this is a replica of my first car. Built it from a kit and made it mine.
Sledsel Posted July 9, 2024 Posted July 9, 2024 Nice Pinto. Good job on a so so kit. Working on one now and making a lot of changes to fit better.
ReduitRetro Posted July 9, 2024 Posted July 9, 2024 Great looking pinto! I have a couple each of these and the later wagons in my to build collection, and you did a great job! All you need to make it more realistic is to place a fire extinguisher nearby, lol!
MichaelRZ Posted August 17, 2024 Posted August 17, 2024 Thank you for the comments. I have to admit I was frustrated with this kit. It should have been a very simple build but many of the pieces did not fit together correctly so I had to modify as I went along. That and the black spray paint I had must have been old it did not adhere properly. Just don't too close!
RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 That turned out awesome! I have one in the box that needs detailed and some assembly. It will be a replica of Sabrina's car from Charlie's Angels when completed.
