Hey gang
New spoiler/air dam for the 1971/78 Pinto & Bobcat, Derrick/Reeves1 was kind enough to let me use his Bitchin Spoiler from his Pro Street Boss 302 powered Pinto! I have the mold made and the first test piece is out.

Niceee 8)
Any guesstimates on the pricing? Looks like I'm gonna need 2 of them myself.
yeah map,,,, i think im gonna need "at least" one myself......whats the guesstimate
Now I have a idea on materials & time I need to find a shipping box I'll get back in a few days.
Mike
Mike,
These look really cool... I mean really cool... We could even coin the phrase that our Pintos have been 'Mapped'...
Too corney? I like it...
I have stickied this thread for everyone, good stuff
I should be able to pick mine up in person. I'm about 2 hours from you.
I can also pick them up for anyone else who lives close to me or lives near the malls I deliver to in Ohio, Michigan or New York & can meet me along my route to get them.
Put me next inline.
Cool ! ;D

Canfield works for me. Will you have 2 ready by then?

You can use Panel Bonding Adhesive or a few rivets & a simple bracket on the hood latch support.

He may be lost in that shop ! ;D
Sorry guys things are crazy around here,were in the middle of selling a house, between the TWP and inspections I'm going outta of my mind!
This will be over next week I can get back to the Glass work.
Mike
ballpark price?
ballpark price?? please.....
On price I have some resin left enough to make 8 or 9 to be safe I'll make 8 at $85.00 each + shipping. I'll need to buy resin so the next batch I'm sure will closer or over the $100.00 mark a drum of resin is knocking on $1500.00 today!
I did a quick check on boxes & shipping I don't think I can ship via UPS they have to go Greyhound to keep the shipping cost down.
Mike
Check FedEx rates. I shipped a Dart front pan to Washington state for 22 bucks about 18 months ago.
I'm definitely in for 2 of them. I don't need them till next year but I can pay you for them & either pick them up if I'm out your way or catch you in Canfield in the spring....
I would like one. I can send paypal or money order. Can you PM me your info when you find out the shipping details?
how far from campbell ohio are you...(youngstown) dad lives there and could probably just pic it or them up... he may want one too....
dad said hes going to canfield so how would he find you.....his # is 330-750-6086 steve.... and cell is 330-787-3353 we need 2....hes gonna be in a 73 pinto wagon panel with welds on it....
Sorry guy's I can't make Canfield.
Mike
i would be interested in purchasing one for my 78 :) please let me know and thankyou!
I have my eye on this also, any updates? The look is great!!!
thanks
I've been waiting to hear from him too. Mike, if you read this I'm going to need 1 of your front bumper covers in addition to the 2 air dams. I finally have the plan for all 4 cars.
I'd like to see the bumper cover too! I have 3 pintos now and plan on buying a couple cowl induction hoods as well...anyone have a cowl hood on their cars? And if so what size and brand? Don't want to go too big cause they don't look right to me. Was thinking around 4".
any updates???? im coming up to ohio very soon.... would be good if i could pick one up while there......
Sorry guys for not getting back on the spoiler I had to put the glass on the side till i caught up on some projects I'm working on I have things under control now, I have to order resin this week, I have 2 spoilers made they belong to Derrick I'm going to make 10 at the price i stated back when i started this post I'll check my PM to see who contacted me for a spoiler.
Also Webshots is shutting down I guess I'll loose all my pictures i posted I'm in the process of moving all the pix what a nightmare!
Mike
Mike - how goes the battle ? Get the pictures moved ?
I'll shoot you an e-mail soon.
It's a nightmare! We need to talk about your fenders..

I have the other pair of those. May as well give me a headsup if they have issues. Boy I hope not.
I'll get to Derrick's fenders later this week I'll let you know if i have any issues.
Mike
My 1980 rally cat would love you so much if it could have its hole spoiler again it looks retarded with only 1 corner piece it sticks out like well you know so if you will except a money order me & my car would be so happy only 1 small problem I have 2 wate till March grass cutting is my job no extra cash please please please!!!!
this needs to be on eBay, all you need now is a rear bumper to match the front and the spoiler for the huge rear magnifying glass edition
are you still making these?
Got my two new air dams back & they look absolutely perfect !
Mike worked hard to get them just right & I'm very happy with them !

Now I'm green with envy, No Wait ! that's just snot that matches my Car's color ;D
I am also interested in getting one of these, if they are available. The aluminum flashing air dam on my Pinto race car looks terrible.
sure wish you were making this stuff back in 1971-1972! two thumbs UP!! some really good looking work there

How much work did it take to ready those fenders? I have the other set & it doesn't look like they are gel coated very well.
Are you going to make Canfield this year? I still need the airdams off you.
Yes I will be at Canfield on Friday.

Thanks a ton!
Now I gotta save for the hotpants ones Mike!
Will this part fit a '76 wagon with the big bumper? Please advise, thanks!

The 76 has the short fenders so the length should be fine you might have to trim a little off the top of the spoiler just under the bumper
IF there's a Clarence issue.
Mike
Save me one of the air dams & I'll Paypal you or bring the money when I grab the wagon & drop off the glass fenders. I need to have you look at my glass hood too. It has a small chip at one corner & glass isn't my specialty.

Yep bring them along with you.
Last call on the spoilers at 85.00 Bux + shipping, on Friday they go to $125.00+ shipping I still have 10!
All the V8 guys should be after these to hide the bottom of the radiator from view.

I want to see one under a 74-up big bumper. I think it will get rid of that "something's missing" look up front.
factory one under my 75

I forgot about yours. I even have those pics in a folder somewhere. I looks way better than the core support.
kinda looks like my homemade air dam and ground effects that are on my 71. check out my pic.
I finally have the car that this spoiler & all the rest of my glass parts will go on. It's a 72 & it's definitely worth putting my V8 in.
(http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af357/OrangeCrushMustang/72%20Pinto/P82A15561_zpsb9d95b1c.jpg)
Those look fantastic. There will definitely be one in my future as the infamous mystery air dam on my '72 has developed a big split in the urethane and I'm not certain I can fix it.
Hey are there any reeves airdams still avalable?
hi wondering if you have any air dams available
If you are still making the front air dam im wanting one as well 77 all glass hatch. Joe(moonman42002@yahoo.com)
Im in tulsa ok 74115. please advise as price and shipping.
Thanks.
To you last few posters: map351 hasn't been active on this site for over four months. I do believe you can probably contact him through the Pinto sites on Facebook or you can obtain his email address by checking his profile on this site. Good luck!
Dwayne :)
Either email him direct at 73turbopinto@gmail.com of look for Mike Pierro on the Pinto sites on facebook
I guess this is now a dead option/item/possibility? Forgive me if there's something I don't know, but last post was four years ago?

Chris,
Did you try the email and facebook info mentioned in the post prior to yours? I don't know what Mike is fabricating nowadays, if anything, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask if you want one.
Dwayne :)
Love that yellow. Reminds me of my 67 El Camino (now gone). Nice car.
Add me to the list for one. I am in Okla. so have to ship mine , just let me know as to cost. Thanks Joe
