looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

Thanks DreamBean, it's been in the back of my mind to do it like this for some time, when I had to "glue" the rear driver bumper end cap back on with silicone recently, kept looking at all the rust spreading, mis-matched black paint, rear spoiler missing for a year and bondo starting to fall off I knew it was time to do "something" before it was looking to horrible. I drive this one to work most days and was just "slightly" embarrassing since most around here know I do have some nicer ones. I've never been able to solve all it's little problems but for a daily driver it gets the job done.

few more updates..

cut the muffler off, welded on 2.25 pipe in place and added a BIG! tip for some slightly rumbly sound vs the tame muffler. Was supprised how quiet is still is but sounds better  :)
 
also replaced the stock blue steering wheel with a sport wheel from the bobcat I scrapped last year and that MII console I had finally found a home.
 
still waiting on the black dash cap I bought on Ebay, should be here in time I hope.
 
next? bobcat tail lights? rear cargo carpet? and I really do need a rear hatch gasket at some point.

Gentleman, we have the parts, we have the knowledge... we can rebuild him...

Ok... I'm out of time so I'll have to call him ready for the show. Todays final items installed - dash cap arrived today and installed, was telling a friend I wanted black "sport mirrors" and he had a set for me now painted with truck bed liner, and I replaced the rear bumper cover with one that was straight, painted with you guessed it... truck bed liner

No more will I be calling him the Pincat and the last and final items for the new and improved "Wounded Pinto" have been installed for the show this weekend. Starting with a Pinto I have transplanted parts from a Bobcat, Mustang II and the mirrors were last installed on a chevy (oh goodness) so the new name fits, in my eyes anyways. I have fixed and repaired much! on this car since I bought it in July of 2008. It is my favorite daily driver. I'm sure there will be more done and added in the future, just no nore time before the show and I hope my little tribute is acceped for what it is... not all together perfect but loved and respected for what it is. Poor thing should never have been saved, nor should I have spent all the time and money I have on this car but a promise is a promise and I did tell the previous owner I would do what I could to keep it on the road. She loved her little Pinto and while it's a completly different "beast" these days I hope she doesn't mind and is glad the wheels still be a turning.

Lookin' good Brian! That must be one fun ride now. People should be afraid to follow you to closely (or "tailgate" you)....Not due to the infamous "they blow up" thing, but that if they do and when it doesn't blow up like people say, they will have to put the pedal to the metal to keep from you turning right back around and biting back twice as hard!

I would be afraid just to get close enough to admire it, it must have some big sharp teeth behind the grill!

I got rid of the painted hub caps and replaced with baby moons instead = MUCH BETTER!
 
and believe it or not.... I got an award at the last show I took it to this year, it was for my "Hard Luck" story with this Pinto and was a nice surprise and appriciated  :)

Matt, I have another camper like I took on Stampede last year, hard sides and top (unlike the other with soft top) and I was thinking...

mount a gun turret on top of the camper for when I tow/going down the road but... have it removable for when I camp and a quick way to mount to the top of the Pinto or on it's hood  ::)
