Okay, Ive got a '75 [used to be pea] green Pinto. ''The Frog'' ..Heres some oddball/cheap/fun stuff I've done to it.
-I've already made the original shifter appear to be a stickshift with the use of thread-all, Gurilla Glue, and an '84 Isuzu 4X4 shift knob.
-Have started working on an 2.3 valve cover..but with mid 50's 'Chevrolet' script molded into it. [Gotta make people sctatch their head
]
-Took a '74 grille, cut out the teeth, then glued 2 cut-to-fit peices of stainless steel storm-door mesh to the back of it.
-Used a moped gas cap & latch assembly to replace the original. Looks similar to one that would be on a race car..but it's looks cool to me!
-Considered going a kind of NASCAR-type exhaust on it using true duals & race-type headers. 2 cyls per pipe.
-Considering making an intake manifold to hold 2 single barrel carbs..may use some '40's style ones just for kicks.
-Considered DynoMat-ing the floors/underside-leaving the inside trans tunner the original green just for kicks.
-Considered black seat covers, but am unsure on that one.
-Considering on painting the radiator, radiator support, and some other stuff black to accent the new grille.
Now that you've read what I've done so far I hope someone out there's got a few ideas of stuff I can do with my own hands reletivly cheap
[but free is good too!!]Almost forgot-I want ta make my own Frog character [or script] for the car-all ideas are welcomed!
