Faust Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Even if it’s a loser car, with a loser engine (which it is), I still like to try and make the interior and chassis of a car kit look as good as possible. Of course, when you’re talking about the make-work-project that is the MPC 1979 Pinto “Pony Express” reissue, that’s not exactly an easy chore. Thankfully, the chassis and interior on this kit are fairly simple, and require less reworking than the body and engine! Check out my progress at the link below. This little beast is edging further towards completion! https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/2018/09/12/pinto-update-3-inside-underside-tnt/ Edited September 13, 2018 by Faust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I would not disparage my stash by including a Pinto. Maybe a Cosworth Vega, but never a Pinto! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faust Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Fair! See, we all know Pintos suck, but to me, they're cool BECAUSE they suck. I'll leave the supercars and other well-known stuff to the rest of the world. I want to create a museum to things that are kitschly cool now, and that we all know were really terrible. More people will likely notice the Pinto than a '57 Chev, because it's so rare to see one (either built, or in real life)! Man, if they made a Cosworth Vega, I'd get that too! I'd prefer a less powerful version, but beggars can't be choosers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I like the gold on black paint scheme Chevy used on the Cosworth. The engine looked cool but it wasn't powerful. The only way I'd build a Pinto is if I shoe-horned a 289 into it. I look forward to your progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
