You must be the guy with the glasses? :laugh: Haha I thought you mightve been one of the students. Thats even better, they do the work and they better do good or they get an "F". hahaha.
Thats going to be one sweet Pinto when all of you get done with it. Thanks for all the pics.
Maybe youre not the guy in glasses. Whos taking the pics.
yeah im not the guy in the glasses... im the guy with the safety glasses on about 15 pics from the end. im 21 lol yeah the guy in the glasses is my buddy who is also co-owner of our other business Golden West Mustang / Shelby. we restore mustangs and shelbys. and apparently pintos too lol
My 72 Runabout is just a little farther along than yours. Same color brown that will be changed to red. It to is down to bare sheet metal, (oh those slots by the windshield wipers, getting all of the old paint out!), and almost ready for primer.
The interior is also bare as your is however now it will soon be time to put things back together.
So much nicer than gutting and wondering what's to be done with each new discovery.
Great pictures, I like your final color scheme. Will look forward to the completed project.

I have been put at a halt. the floor section next to the spare tire area is rusted from my trunk being misaligned and not sealing correctly due to the collision early in its life before i got the car. so then i focused on getting the 1/4 panels back into shape both have body line distortion. i need to rebuild the body line.. so i have been working on that portion and looking for a trunk section to replace the area i need. here are the pictures.

I have 2 of the 3 fenders i own primered. the passenger side is a replacement fender and the original fender is the fener that is still in bare metal and being pounded back into shape.

On the blinker lense i opend it and sprayed rattle can chrome to make it illuminate the light nore. and it does make a difference. also i sprayed the back of the lense with trim black for a nice clean look. cause the stock off white is ugly.

well its been a while since i posted pics. but i have somehow found time to do so lol. i have been really focusing on bodywork and the classified body mods im doing. :cheesy_n: i just want to be the first in the mods im doing. i have decided to make the car look period stock, but modified lightly. like what chip foose does, minor changes to make something look a little different but you cant figure out what i did lol. like the hanto lotus pinto or a Pangra deal. I have Coined it as the Pinto GT. planning to run a ford 302, im not sure if i will go fuel injection or carberation yet. some of he problems i am looking at is a fuel cell. im not so hott on cutting my trunk floor. thinking about making a cell that fits in the stock take position. or looking into mustang ii race car stuff. if you have done a cell and also have your spare tirewell intact please send me a picture so i can see what you have done. i am installing an electrical shut off valve (msd race car style) in the trunk. behind "cutom stock" inner 1/4 panels. im modding a set of 71 inner quarters from a 71 hatchback, to fit my 71 sedan. and i will be putting the electrical shut off behind the access panel is where you would get into to change the passenger side marker. relocating the battery to the trunk. adding trunk light. adding hatch back rear tail light brace and plastic brace cover up panels, to make it both stronger and cleaner. subframe connectors, and upgraded mustang ii suspension with koni's in the rear. or bilstiens i havent decided. probly koni since im going for period looks. or just paint them orange and make the look like koni's. the interior will be black on black, with a few grey accents here and there. all knobs knob rings with lettering, ignition ring, and things of that nature will be brand new mustang style circa 1965-68. dash will be stock with new vents, from 71 hatch, it has the sliding positional ones not the rolling 2 directional ones which zoop. i have a set of sport mirrors, and i have to make a new hole and mount for the passenger side since my 71 didnt have it. nor did any early 71's as i believe. im still trying to figure out the mustang style pinto stripe i bought off ebay, the placement and how im going to cut the colors. basically im having a problem cause i am doing a 72 sprint scheme with different colors. on the sprint the rocker panel was blue to a certain heighth. in my paint scheme, all that was blue on the sprint will be black, all that was white will be charcoal, the 2005-2006 focus charcole (dark shadow grey) and all that was red. (stripe around the hood stripe) will be black. no 1/4 flag. i think i may just paint the stripe the body color, charcoal and leave the rest of the rocker black. like use the sticker to mask off the area. i am leaving the tranny auto, so anyone can drive it. seats im thinking of 69-70 mach 1 style. im going with a roll bar hoop. with detatchable horizontle shoulder strap bar. back seat will be stock. i took off the ugly side moldings, and all chrome wheel moldings. guages are going to be most likely stock, unless i find something that looks good and period. keeping the AM radio in the stock position and putting a cd player in the glove box with a cd changer under the seat. wheels im thinking of using the style steel wheels or magnum 500's but id like to find some black center caps with pintos on them. anyways enough with the blabbing. here is the pics.

Sorry i havent been around. i have been busy with my 2 jobs. i teach during the day and i work at a restoration shop for shelbys and mustangs at night. but i have gotten some progress done. first of all i got my trunk floor welded in where it was rusty. second i got my inner tail lamp panel (from a hatchback) welded in. next is the tail lamp panel. then i will be able to finish the rear bodywork. then, it will be time to yank the motor. im gonna try to do the 5.0 swap. but we will see how that goes. but anyways here are the newest pictures.
i forgot to take new pictures of it primed i used a red sealer (factory) and 280 primer PPG.. i will take pictures tomorrow.
