A while back someone posted a question regarding a picture of the perspective sitting in their Pinto (shot of the steering wheel and dash). We were asked if we could see - what he saw. The correct answer ultimately was that the steering column was angled.
In that same vain I'm posting a few Pictures of my 1973 Pinto. I'm curious to see if something is noticeable. Thanks for participating.

And here I thought you WOULDN'T give me a hard time because I didn't use an air chisel and washers behind bolts to mount my 20" radiator!
Why it was akin to heart surgery to move the radiator mount 3-1/4" and still retain it's original configuration. I cut in such a way as to retain all the curved edges around the opening. The metal overlapping to double the strength at the attachment point. Why those Olympic gymnastic teams could "work" on that upper support all day and it would never deflect. And besides I think the curves of this rendition look a whole lot sexier than the flatness of what Ford used in '74 and up. Of course that's just my opinion. ;)
