Modelbuilder Mark Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Cool model! I know not everyone liked them, but I always like the looks of the hatchback Pintos.

Expand 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.

Force Posted March 27, 2021 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

TransAmMike Posted March 28, 2021 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??

Expand the kits I started with were missing the tires, I found the ones that I used in the spares box....
Force Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 Ok I understand, it's great to see your builds and the Jo-Han Funny Cars are nice model kits.

Expand Thanks, Mike, I owned a few real Pintos & they look different in reality..well balanced
TransAmMike Posted March 31, 2021 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.

Expand 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"
