Title: My winter project, 71 pinto dream ride
Post by: smallfryefarm on November 17, 2008, 10:49:15 AM
Here is some photos of my ride, hopefully by spring will be done. The inside is painted but still needs carpet and new headliner to finish. It has a ladder bar suspenison which tucks the 12 inch wide tires with not hacking the wheel wells out. Working now on getting the engine bay painted the same color as the car. Then starting on replacing all the brake lines and switching to front disc. 302 and five speed will come later.
