I first saw this car on the 4th of July at a local show, and yesterday I found it again at the Mustangs NorthWest Roundup, but I had a really crappy digital camera with me this time. It's got a nice roll bar setup, a nicely built 302, Boss 429 hood scoop, 17" cobra wheels, etc. Thought you guys might like to see it...

I have always hated Pintos, but I like that one. Someone has put together a car that is WAY out of the mainstream and shown some ingenuity. Cool car.

Nice. There's something about those Pinto wheel arches that gets me going. Then again, I still watch "C.H.iP.s" re-runs at 4:30 in the morning. :geek:

Yeah... I thought that was pretty cool myself. It was a definite necessity for the car, because if you look, the radiator support has been cut away so that the radiator could be moved forward. It actually sits exactly where the rad support was, thus the need for the monte carlo and extra bracing.

Protour_Pinto is going to have one seriously kickass and unique car, thats for sure! Just as it sits now it makes me car look like a pile.

Creative thoughts in that pinto, but a boring dash I think.

The Pinto is cool. I would like to see a Chevette.

Not a bad looking car. Clean and to the point. Not too much outside of the box.

I thought of going the easy way out when I re-started the project but decided to just do it right.

There is a lot to just throwing in a 302 like thousands of others have done and driving it.

I like it, probably a lot of fun to drive.
