no i dont . this car has been a race car for most of its life. it is accually a 1972. but front clip and tail lites were updated in the 80s..if i can fix it i will.depends on the frame.if not i have a tube chassis wagon i could use.

Sounds like you are OK, I am glad of that.

I too have flipped a Pinto, or should I say, had it flipped for me (circle track).

was just a little dizzy from being up side down.still feel that way every time i look in the garage.this happened last weekend.engine in car is a 460 ford.40 over 12 to 1 with iron cobra jet heads and a lot of camshaft.. power glide tranny 4.88 gears. as of last week it has run 9.19@147 in the 1/4....
i am hoping i can fix the roof. have to wait and see. i am just now taking it apart.

just bought a 1979 trunk model.. the roof should be the same. really hate to cut up a complete car but these things all rusted a way here and there are not any in the junk yards.so hopefully by spring it will back on the track.maybe a new paint job like bob gliddens last pinto pro stock.
