I built this about 15 years ago. Does anyone remember JIM IN OHIO? He had the best prices and lowest shipping. One of the kits that I ordered from him was missing the steering wheel. He apologized and said, "I will send any kit you want". Who does that anymore?

I still have the original decals.

That looks great, the metallic green and the flames really make this stand  out. I like to see these older kits built up.

Ive ordered from Jim in Ohio and Fred from NY, they both were good to deal with.

Great looking Pinto Funny!!!

As an FYI, That's a Boss 429, not an SOHC and the silver piece below the coil is the magneto. The only Ford with the distributor in the rear is a Y block. Just an observation and information for any future builds.

Would be something like this. Again, an FYI, not a knock on your build.

I never noticed that, and I am a Ford guy. Thanks

Right on Mike!  And yeah Jim is a stand up guy for making you that offer.  That’s somebody I would gladly buy from.
