Hey all
It's been a while since i have been here but I have a crazy idea I want to ask you guys about
I have a 1980 pinto with a turbo 2.3 and a dry shot of nitrous
It's a quick little guy runs 12s in the 1/4
My thoughts are body mods now
I have a T-top roof from a Mustang II I am thinking to graft on to the pinto
I know I would have to re-skin doors and try to use mustang doors as well
Is this a stupid idea?
Just thinking that's all
Dave

I couldn't agree more. A lot of work for??? If one did it just for themselves they had better love it for a lifetime. Otherwise there would be no outside appeal. "Crazy idea," - I think you answered your own question. Sorry to sound so harsh it is not my intention to be so.
Question, are the Mustang II and Pinto front clips swap-able like the early 60's Falcon and Comets? I've seen some "Comet-zed" Ranchero's that cause a double take when seen. I've also seen similar where the Mustang front clip has been put on a Fairmont.
Ok
That's what I was looking for
Thanks guys
Dave
