i HAVE A 76' WAGON AND WANT TO PUT HOOD SHOCKS ON TO DELETE THE HOOD PROP. HAS ANYONE DONE THIS? IF SO, ANY DETAILS WOULD BE GREAT.
I have seen it done. I will be doing it to my Pangra. I have not worked out the details yet. The one I saw just used one shock on the passenger side.
There was a guy selling kits on ebay for mustang II's, I bought one. HAven't gotten it installed yet but I figured if it fits the II it should work on the pinto, since they're the same platform. ???
Bill, does the kit use one or two shocks. Can you take a pic of it and the destructions and post it here. Thanks
Like I said, I've not installed it. it takes 2 shocks from a Honda (I think) I'll have to look for it and get back to you!!!
I have a Quicklift kit for my Mustang. I too have not installed it but my friend has one on his Cobra and works pretty good. They are made by Redline Tuning. www.redlinetuning.com
I just went to redline and looked up the instructions to install a kit on a mustang. It looks easy. Being as I do not have a kit, I think the most important thing will be the distance between the fire wall area and the mounting bracket on the fender well. For each car there is a different length. It looks like a mustang is about 23". I think If I could get that length from the Pinto Kit instructions I could install my shocks. The Redline kit uses 2 shocks, one for each side.
Turbo,
Mine looks exactly like the Redline kit, only homemade out of aluminum, and it didn't come with the shocks. I tried to find the instructions to day, but they eluded me. I'll look again tomarrow.
